“Very easy to do. It’s fun but also takes time. Especially if your acoustics depend on opening a window, acoustic blinds or something major as you need to do the measuring process few times to have all options for correction, but after that just forget and get great sound”
“I have to work on location most of the time at the moment and I often end up having to set up in some less than ideal spaces.
Because if this I tested monitoring headphones quite extensively and I chose the HEDD Heddphone Twos. The Sonarworks correction curve improves the translation even further.
I also carry with me a pair of portable speakers (Adam D3V) for taking breaks, double checking and playing back my work to other collaborators. Generating a profile for the room using the SoundId Reference microphone is very simple and makes a truly dramatic difference. There’s a beautiful continuity from what I hear on headphones and what comes out of the speakers.
For working in environments that were not designed for music production SoundId Reference is invaluable and highly recommended, and even my professionally treated control room has improved after applying a custom profile. Highly recommended.”
“Measuring my room acoustics took about 20 minutes and was incredibly easy. The instructions were clear and well thought out, and the real-time, step-by-step guidance made the whole process smooth and even fun. It turned measuring my room acoustics into a simple, enjoyable workflow.”
“I’m yet to use the room calibration but for speaks being system wide on my MacBook is a game changer - I can use it to listen to references and then go on to mixing without annoying workarounds or annoying audio output selection dropouts! If I had one minor gripe I’d would be to request other template sound profiles rather than flat or just custom, other presets to Harmon or other curves would be great - maybe I just need to get used to the flat sound though. Overall I’m confident it’s going to be amazing and can’t wait to see what a difference it makes to my studio monitoring outside of my cans!”
