“Using with Apollo X4, and this allows me to really have a better feel for the mix. The process is easy to measure the speakers (takes a bit of time though) and each measurement microphone is coded so they are individually calibrated and accurate. Really cool stuff and it works.”
“Great software, works well in different setup, no bug or strange behaviours. Measurements are really easy and accurate. I've initially used a third microphone (quite old) but then I bought their microphone and it worked better, more precise measurements. sound has improved both in bass response and stereo images. a big bonus is that you can use the mic with third party apps such as REW EQ and you get the mic correction for that.”
“It's absolutely cool. I've tested it with my headphones first before I ordered the set with the microphone. And yes now my mixes sound similar on the speakers, on my headphones, on my iPad - ok, little less bass there ;) - and mostly important the room modes do no longer cover the higher frequencies ... which are now sometimes too clear ;)”
“Easy and guided setup to automate the tuning of my room. Enough possibilities for finetuning manually. Also good to see that Sonarworks teams up with other companies (like Adam and RME) to store the calculated room profile in the hardware’s DSP. I know where to save my money for next ;-)
One thing that I was disappointed about (and made me hold the 5th star) was the headphone correction for the Beyerdynamic DT-990. Though it’s not documented anywhere (shame on Beyerdynamic), this headphone clearly has multiple generations sold with a total different character. Unfortunately SoundID currently supports only the newer (harsher) version. Resulting in a midrange boost that is far too much for the older warmer version. A pity for such a widespread headphone model.
Most probably this wil also apply to the DT-770, but I did not (yet) test it.”
