Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
The Virtual Monitoring addon takes time to get used to, it also applies to the flat target. Keep in mind that for VM we do have crossfeed and it might be slightly confusing at first.
I would suggest lowering the value with the dry/wet knob. After a while, gradually increase the value when you get used to the simulation that VM brings.
I hope this helps!
“It really helps expecially with the far field monitors simulation. In my home studio what I really feel missing is a couple of big and far speakers that can give me reference of how a mix will sound like on big PAs. With the virtual monitoring I can have almost the same sensation with my headphones. After few weeks I'm already addicted!”
“As I do most of my mixing and mastering with headphones, working with SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring was again a real game changer for me. Switching alternatly between nearfield and midfield provides all I need for critical listening.”
