I was a bit sceptical about this and after online reviews I purchased it last week. I wished i had it before mixing my tracks. Its a substantial improvement in the low and and also in the high frequencies. The boomy sound is gone and its sounds a lot more calm. The interface and the UI is just amazing. A lot of development has gone into this product. The competition is nowhere near to what this product offers you. In case you are on the fence, just try it out and i bet you are going to love it.

The software works great, it helped bring my moderately treated room to life. The microphone is of a high-quality build and is very sensitive. I would like to see more parametric eq controls (settings like steepness of shelves), and a less tedious way of creating custom corrections. I like to switch between flat, Dolby, custom etc. (especially for headphones). A subwoofer volume and crossover measurement incorporated into your fancy 2.0 stereo algorithms doesn't seem like too much to ask, I imagine it would be beneficial to the correction. Having to adjust the subwoofer and rerun the calibration after finding out your subwoofer is being overcorrected (beyond 6db according to your guide) is annoying. A 3-channel DAC or other solution + your multichannel software version can be out of reach for many people in budget audiophile.

Easy to set up and use. Improved the sonic accuracy of my mixes 20% right away, and I expect that number to go up as my ears get used to the space. If I had one criticism, it's that the feature to automatically remove the plug-in from the master buss when rendering does not work in Reaper. Hopefully, this can be added in the future.

I’m currently mixing in a home office with a not so ideal shape. I have treatment for first reflections and plan to add more, but first wanted to give Sonarworks a try since it gave me the measurement mic and could further correct issues that treatment can’t solve down the road. I am pleasantly surprised as how much of a difference it has made even with me having minimal treatment. The low end in my mixes has been way easier to handle. I definitely recommend this product to anyone with a less than ideal room, even if you have it fully treated.

Sound I’d does a great job at making the sound flat. It also has other listening options as cars, cell phones and different speakers. Great software!

I was a bit sceptical that it would work on my already treated room. But i was amazed about the difference after the calibration. You have to get used to the setting, especially when you mix with a subwoofer like me, but I have much more confidence about my mix now.
