“I have been using Sonarworks for a long time as an essential part of my workflow. I was really excited to try the Virtual Monitoring add-on for SoundID Reference, and it hasn’t disappointed at all! I work a lot on headphones these days and have been using virtual monitoring plugins from other manufacturers together with SoundID Reference. It’s great to be able to use a virtual monitoring solution that was designed to work together with the frequency response correction. Also, I only have to use one plugin. Soundwise, i like that it doesn’t over emphasise the room too much but provides good perspective and I like that my mixes have been translating better on other systems.”
“Good, simply implimented idea - in need of some further QC, re audio interface compatibility.
Useful (differing field) reference points for checking mix.”
Hi George,
Thanks for your review, we really appreciate it!

We hope you give SoundID Reference another try at some point in the future, we'd love to see you back :)
“The virtual monitoring add on is worth the extra cost. In headphones, it really emulates the sound of various types of speakers. Excellent for mixing.”
“I bought it with SoundID for Headphones and I can say, the virtualization of different speakers, car interiours and even professional studio speakers is very good.
Most of the time, i work without the virtualization but if you wanna check a sound for stereo problems, kick design or to control the hole track its very helpful and a time saver.
All in all it is saving me much time and I can focus more on the creative part of my tracks.
A gamechanger if you mix most of the time with headphones.
You have to use another plugin for crossfeed or use the spl phonitor d for it.”
“For someone confined to mixing music with headphones SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring is a must have. SoundID Reference is great in itself, but with Virtual Monitoring it has raised the bar even more.”
