Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO with Binaural Measurement Microphone

Most music creators prefer creating music on speakers. They spend a lot of effort creating their rooms and getting used to how speakers sound in them. Unfortunately creators are not always able to work in those rooms either due to travel, late hours or some other reason. Sonarworks SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO lets you copy the exact sound of YOUR room on YOUR headphones with such accuracy that you can’t believe it until you hear it. Key to the process is personalized measurement of the room and your head properties using the SoundID Binaural In-Ear Mic that has been built exactly for this purpose, making each measurement truly personal.

SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO includes all features of SoundID Reference for Headphones and Virtual Monitoring, plus the ability for users to create personalized binaural presets of their studio or mix-check environment. The license covers activation for Virtual Monitoring PRO on Windows and Mac and comes bundled with the EREF binaural microphone for measurements. Packaged in a retail box; valid for up to 3 installations.

If you can measure it, you can copy it:

• Copy the sound of your studio that you know and trust and take it with you on the go
• Copy the sound of your client's or supervisor's room and preview your mix through their monitoring profile before you send it
• Copy the sound of any acoustic environment, like your car and use for translation check or reference
• Use the presets you created while traveling, late at night, or whenever you can’t access your studio
