Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO Upgrade with binaural measuring microphone

General

A headphone mix may not be the first thing you think of in a studio, and normal sound reproduction on headphones is not really meant to be. But with Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO, mixing on headphones becomes a lot more appealing. This software package simulates speakers, and a lot of variants and situations too. Not just studio monitors, but also speakers in a room, like a car. The advantage of this method is that you are no longer dependent on the quality of your own studio, since 't mix process will all take place between your headphones and your ears. Lying on your back on your bed, you will hear the intended acoustics and timbre of a specific speaker in a specific location.

Including a good measurement microphone

With this package specifically, you get a nice measurement microphone included, so you can record rooms yourself and thus use it on your headphones. And so the room an sich does not matter. It could be a hallway closet, or your colleague's fat studio, it could be your own shopping trolley, or your colleague's fat German patser trunk. And so the great thing is that you can hear the sound of that patser box in your shopping trolley with headphones, which is precisely the whole idea of this product. By the way, so that measurement microphone is a set of earbuds that you use to make a binaural recording. So it's about how a sound reaches your auricles. So on the back seat of that fancy car, the sound may be subtly different from the driver's seat.

• Note: This is an upgrade intended for a permanent SoundID Reference product, you will obviously need to have a valid licence of that.
