“I had tried the demo with just a shure sm94 as a measure meant mic (it’s the closest thing I had at the time) and I was impressed with that. The measurement mic from sonar works is even greater!”
“Downloaded the trial and tested calibrating with a microphone of my own. I noticed a big improvement in my mixing straight away. Decided to buy it and bought the calibrated microphone and wow a whole new world. I could not imagine my room boosted 120 Hz by 12 dB and this program corrects it. A big plus is that the program is really easy to use and guide you step by step through installation. 5/5 will never turn back. Its a must for mixing and mastering.”
“The Reference ID software only makes sense with the mic but that works fantastic in an accoustically untreated room. Being able to use different profiles is a real treat and makes a huge difference. The headphone profile - in my case it's the beyerdynamics 770 dt (250) - sound extremely flat and "boring" but I will not change it anyway because if the mix sounds interesting there it will sparkle on almost any hifi speaker system, so I consider this a good thing.”
“Absolutely useless. The company is unable to explain why there is an unbalance between the L/R when enabled. Furthermore, the software is causing some weird problem in the phase correlation and stereo image. I've sent video of the problem to support, and nobody had been able to explain why it is happening or how to fix it. Untruthworthy. How can anyone trust anything mixed or mastered through this software then?”
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
The "disbalance" you are observing is simply the calibration that applies for each channel - left and right. There is no additional information to the original signal. It is simply a slight volume increase to the other channel as every monitor is different and not identical. Some require a little more calibration to be flat whilst others don't.
