THE BEST GOT BETTER! Sonarworks SoundID Reference!

[@resington]

The translation check is something that makes total sense and should have been done years ago. Great!

[@danymalsound]

Sweet! Started on V3, now on V4 (systemwide)...time to upgrade! Cheers, man!

[@JeremySchoeneman]

Exactly what I've been looking for!

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

Was on the fence about this. I didn’t know it had the listening environments feature I may get this now 😊. I have a reference mic and use some free software to figure out the best placement for my soundpanels but this looks like it’ll be good to have too.

[@katrinaallikas2028]

if you already have the measurement mic, you can try out the software for your monitoring environment with a 21-day free trial :)

[@trubadyr99]

You haven't said anything about connectivity. I understand that the mic is connected to a PC to measure the speakers. But what device is doing actual correction automatically based on the measurements?

[@chrismarcyy]

So i just got it, better said, upgraded from Reference 4, and i'm really in love with it, but now im curious. If i have a profile that makes my headphones flat, and i playback the sections where you show us your corrections for your speakers, will i be able to hear what you are hearing? 🤔 will i be able to hear what your speakers sound like without corrections? now that would be very interesting.

[@killergege]

This tool (Reference) changed my music life as my room sucks and it made music much more listenable (and avoid over correction in mixes). But a bit disappointed by the "upgrade", SoundID crashes way more than Reference, but the new features were too good !

[@dreymorneau]

I agree, went back to reference 4 after trying the SoundID for a few weeks and having lots of stability issues. I'm on a PC, Wondering if you were experiences issues on a PC or MAC, Cheers

[@killergege]

[@Matt4star]

So I finally set my sound reference up and it totally took out my sub woofer. I’ve seen some videos about adjusting volume but why did it happen?

[@yamansitar6153]

Hi , iv got sonarworks ,I have a question , I have a SSL6 mixing desk which will be in my mixing chain , when I’m setting up my speakers to sonarworks to calibrate should I plug my mic in to the mixing desk then from the desks to the soundcard. Or should I plug the mic straight into the sound card or interface , thanks

[@RektomWreker]

Can you do this to a Sony reciever for a home theatre? Or would you have to have a PC connected to it the whole time?

[@astrofreq]

Thanks for the review. Is my understanding correct that the "Translation Check" is to see if any particular instrument is standing out too often across the spectrum of checks? I guess the idea is to keep mixing until it sounds best across all those sources, which obviously, is the hard part.

[@whytezebra2312]

Yup. It's to make you go back and adjust it. Goal is to make it sound it's best on all playback systems. Compensation will always be the enemy unfortunately

[@MegaSoteris]

Hello my friend.Did you find difereence between sonarworks and ma1 neuman alligment on kh80,or kh 120.Thanks.

[@danielecohen2266]

very helpful video! Thank you

[@SoundIDCreators]

🔥🔥🔥

[@johnenglish8261]

Didn't know they made software that would do that. Thought I would have to take a bunch of irs and stich them together myself. Thanks man.👍🎵

[@tosvus]

How do you find this version compares to Dirac (obviously Soundid has some other benefits like headphones etc, but looking at purely the results from speaker calibration)

[@DanglyLingham]

what if you have a subwoofer? just proceed as normal with the sub on during calibration ?

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Yep

[@Jokrono]

Is the 44.1kHz limit on the standalone because you're on Mac, or is that true for all versions of the software? My current interface does not play nice with 44.1 (it's stupid, I know, I want to replace it but I'm stuck with it for a couple of features I need), so that's a bit of a make-or-break for me.

[@karlisstenders4705]

44.1k is only required for the measurement stage for technical reasons (the mic locating signals are built for 44.1k, although this limitation will be improved on in the near future). Either way, after the measurement stage, you can use whichever sample rate setting you need

[@Jokrono]

That's good to know, thanks for hunting my comment down, Karlis! I guess I'll have to see how that goes with my interface's misbehaviour, but I hope that will be fine?

[@karlisstenders4705]

@@Jokrono sure thing, happy to help! If having any issues during the measurements, contact us at the Support section on the Sonarworks website

[@rhythmelofreak]

Hi....Should one check loudness (Integrated LUFS etc.) before or after applying EQ correction (by Sonarworks)?

[@vladimirpotrosky7855]

After

[@Songwriter376]

Heard that your room needs to be first treated with sound foam before using this but I am not sure this is necessary.

[@hamm24]

Sonarworks levels the playing field and will transform the life of any and every home studio engineer in the most untreated and baren rooms for professional translatabe mixes.

[@RichieOtu-u6k]

but what about the issue with your low end

[@AllenHarrison]

I want to see you come in after with something like SMAART and take measurement in the listening position with this plugin engaged to see the simulated estimate compared to an actual measurement

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Watch my Dirac video then

[@rjjrdq]

I don't know how you pulled it off but all I got was shrieking treble with no low end at all. Uninstalled it and ran a virus scan.

[@Heartkiller999]

You clearly didn’t do it right then lol. There’s no viruses.

[@joejohnson8966]

Outstanding

[@jips123]

If you use the translation check, you first have to insert the correction curve of your own system, otherwise the translation gets lost or distorted. Am I right here?

[@mohanshiva_musical]

How to insert correction then check tramslation option in sonarworks both simultaneously

[@wheresallthezombies]

My room sucks ass. Haha. I don’t see anything helping it so I just use headphones. I need to look into the headphone versions of this kind of thing

[@rawLmaobigDImEs]

Haha. It's for headphones aswell. Haha

[@deathhockey19]

Sonarworks vs Dirac live?

[@dougleydorite]

The best? Trinnov and GLM are both better. How do you know it’s flat without using a different (unbiased) measurement like REW?

[@katrinaallikas2028]

There are different needs, budgets and at the end of the day- it's subjective. Find what works for you and let your creativity flow 🙌

[@Impulse21s]

What happened to your eye, dude? Be careful w/ those peepers!

[@RiffsAndBeards]

Uhhhhh old age happened

Nice software albeit way overpriced. REW is free.
