** Shipping was fast and setup was a breeze. Now, with the balanced sound profile that Sonarworks gives me, mix decisions are incredibly easy and translate well. My monitors used to overemphasize low mids and highs in my room, which caused my mixes to come out dull. The post-Sonarworks frequency response graph was very flat. I ran a before/after test by calibrating my speakers again, the second time with the plugin enabled. Thanks to Sonarworks V3, I can finally say that I have a truly flat response from my monitors. I was finding myself mixing in headphones more often than not, just to eliminate the impact of my room on my monitoring environment. I was always struggling with my mixes, despite the quality of my gear. I have a treated room with bass traps and acoustic panels, as well as a pair of Adam A77X's. I am amazed at how great this software is. I'm hearing a better stereo image, more detail and I'm confident every move I make is gonna sound good on any system.Īmazing product, and top notch customer service. Well, I'm about four mixes in with Sonarworks and the results have been very consistent. The low end had authority and was tight and controlled, mid range was right where it needed to be and the high end was perfect.īut of course only one project is not enough, maybe it was just luck that I got the mix right. There was nothing that I needed to go back and fix. I take a notepad with me, write down what I don't like and adjust accordingly.Īfter using Sonarworks I can tell you that my notepad was blank. The usual routine when I finish a mix is to listen on earbuds, laptop speakers, home theater hifi speakers, and of course the car test.
My favorite of course was the NS-10 simulation, which they nailed! Sonarworks not only gives you a corrected response but simulations of popular playback and monitoring systems as well. I pulled up an old project that was a pain in the a** to mix and started from scratch and re-mixed the whole thing. But the real test came when the software gave me the correction file and I loaded it into my DAW (Logic X).
I was very impressed at how the software used pulses of sound to find the microphone in the room and tells you where to move it while it is getting measurements. The software guides you step by step on what to do and where to place the mic. Getting everything set up was very easy on my Mac.
I also have room treatment up which includes bass traps on the corners and 2" panels to help with reflections.Īfter doing some research and based off a recommendation from another GS member, I ended up going with Sonarworks 3 and ordered the trial package that comes with their own reference microphone. Sonarworks Reference 3 is a digital room correction system that really nails it.īefore I go on let me mention that like many others I work a lot from home and one of the bedrooms has been turned into a mixing/editing room.
