“Tried several 'headphone mixing' products and felt that the VM add-on was the most comfortable to work with due to immediate familiarity of the imaging, as well as the 'Occam's Razor' approach to the UX. As an inveterate tweaker/procrastinator, I appreciate the lack of opportunity to spend pointless hours deciding 'which studio sounds best for this track' from the drop down menu...”
“I'm a hobbyist producer but have been doing it for a good while now. Since I don't really have a dedicated, acoustically treated room to mix my productions in, I tried Sonarworks. I can say without a doubt it was the most consequential purchase I ever made, both hardware and software. After a few months of using it, my productions have improved massively. I can't live without it now, especially having purchased the Virtual Monitoring Addon. It's simply surreal how my mixes translate perfectly to the emulated devices.”
“The Virtual Monitoring Add-on is a little pricey for my limited needs. But, as I got SoundID Reference on sale, I decided to future-proof and go ahead and purchase it as well. I've only used it limitedly, but it appears to work as intended. No issues so far. Do wish there was a hotkey for turning it on and off though! And maybe for switching through the various modes.”
