Today, we will be using Sonarworks' incredible technology and talking about speaker and headphone correction. This software works to flatten out the speaker responses in your room, which allows you to hear as accurately as possible in your room, no matter what your space is or what type of speakers you have. You will also be able to switch seamlessly between speakers, headphones, and rooms and your mix will translate easily!
With Sonarworks you will get a much better listening experience and your mixes will translate much better! It really is a lifesaver for the many, many people who are mixing in home studios. Even if there are some issues in your room, with Sonarworks, you can correct those issues and make sure that you are hearing your mix as accurately as possible.
I have used this software to calibrate my headphones, my Kali LP6's, Focal Trio 11's, and Genelec 1032's, and it really does flatten out those little bumps in my speakers. With Sonarworks, my mixes are as flat as possible which allows me to mix more accurately and make better mixing decisions!

How would calibrating your headphones/speakers help your mixes?
NS10m does it all
Get less highend from the start
Don't need any program to ring out a room. Just use pink noise and your ears.....
I actually just did trial of Sonarworks with my headphones and was really really happy with how the mix translated to a few other listening places. I'm looking forward to purchasing it and using in my mix room as this will save me a ton of time making adjustments after listening to mixes in other places.
Thank you for doing these videos Warren, this has been a big help and will likely make my side business of mixing faster allowing me to spend to more time with my family.
@@Pac_man667 just download some pink noise and ring out your room. It will save you money.
Been using sonarworks daily the past 3 years or so. All my audio goes thru it and yes, once you go flat there’s no turning back. Cheers!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Somehow I never liked how SonarWorks "flat" sounds, I have much better sounding measurements with ARC. But I agree, after having speakers and headphones corrected for some time now I have difficult time listening to anything else. 👍
@@BojanBojovic I think flat speakers aren't supposed to sound better, they are supposed to sound accurate so your mix can be eard better in a multitude of speakers and headphones. What I do would is to listen to a song which I really like the production and sound, ear it on a calibrated flat response speaker or headphone, and then try to mimic my mix to sound similar.
@@josearaujo8616 Actually they sound better because they sound correct. Your mixing practice is not good at copying another song is not realistic because everything else is different, it is a totally different song. Creating your style in mixing is much better way in achieving good results.
@@BojanBojovic Its a hobby for me, I'm very amateur, not a professional. I think has a producer you should establish your sound, your tone.
I honestly don't like flat response speakers or headphones or anything, specially because of the tendency for producers to over emphasize bass, so I have my own EQ setting I like and use to listen, but when "producing" I use flat speakers and work my sound from that.
I started using Sonarworks last winter in my 11” x 18” music librarian day-gig office. I went all in for the Premium bundle which included custom-calibrated Sennheiser HD650s. After calibrating my Audioengine A5+ desktop speakers w/ the mic as directed, it was startling how different “flat” was to what I’d been used to hearing & I fell in love with it in no time at all.
With my day gig on COVID hiatus since mid-March, I’ve had my home studio back up & running since May in a 10’ x 10’ bedroom. I’d been enjoying how the Kali IN-8s sound for months & finally reinstalled Sonarworks for the HD650s. This ha s whet my appetite for getting a bunch of boxes out of the back of the room so I’ll have enough space to do proper speaker calibration.
Also, I freaking love the Switch Witch & run 3 sets of speakers & a sub through there. Kali IN-8s, Kali WS-12 sub, Avantone Pro Active MixCubes & the aforementioned Audioengine A5+.
True story... I actually got tears in my eyes when I first used Sonarworks! 30 years of "not ideal" rooms and the frustration of never knowing what I'm actually hearing. I also have IK's ARC 3 and recently tried Dirac Live - all three give similar results (no surprise!) but Sonarworks is less prone to over/under correction. Three thumbs up!
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I’ve been using it for about six months now and couldn’t be more impressed. I have a small space with some room treatment, but I always tried to compensate for it’s shortcomings. This software helps immensely and my mixes have improved due to it.
Love your videos, keep ‘em coming, peace.
Great job for bringing this to your audience! I've been a big fan of this for 3 years now. Used ARC for years before and was frustrated that I could only use it as a plug-in through 2 buss of my DAW. Having the ability to have ALL the audio coming from your computer (regular internet browsing etc.) corrected was a game changer for me and really helped me to learn my listening set up properly. There is also the listening position correction which calibrates any small differences in the output between your monitors at the listening position which for me really improved my stereo picture. It's a great tool which I recommend to everyone I meet. And no, I don't have any affiliations to Sonarworks! Props to them!
Warren you turned me onto sonarworks when you did a giveaway earlier this year. I've since gotten it & it has changed the game for me. It has shown me all the flaws in my monitoring setup, especially in the low end. I can't imagine being anymore confident in my monitoring setup & it's reflected in my mixes. 10/10 would recommend.
Wow! That’s amazing to hear!
I've been using Sonarworks for about 2 years now with Kali LP-6's and Adam A7x's, (and Blue Lola headphones), and can really tell the improvement in my mixes. Especially in balancing the low end stuff. I highly recommend it regardless of your choice in monitors or phones... and especially in poorly treated rooms, it's a lifesaver! Thanks Warren for the great video and for your evaluation. Cheers!
Wow, thank you so much for doing a video on this. HUGE difference! Trying the free trial but will be purchasing this.
I've been using Sonarworks for a couple years. Before using it, I had already treated the room extensively. I observed many of the same issues Warren pointed out due to my desk. SW really helped flatten things out and took out that horrible "nose" sound in the mids. I also have SOFFIT boxes so I put a my bookshelf consumer grade, front ported KEFs in the soffits. They sounded horrid at first. After shooting them out with Sonarworks I was amazed. They sound fantastic! They are now my "C" speakers. If anyone has mid field SOFFIT speakers, try SW correction. I find myself listening to the soffit KEFs much more these days.
To make really nice and pleasant mixes is no easy task! Great work going into details! It is always appreciated!
Thanks ever so much!
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure!
The headphone portion of Sonarworks really helped me learn a lot about EQing. Best plugin ive ever bought.
Hi Warren I'm a PLAPer. I use Sonarworks 4 after seeing your earlier demo. I use Logic X with Totalmix (comes with any RME interface). Pleased to say I'm delighted but you need to carefully consider routing on my setup. For the headphone I use the plugin on an output channel, for speakers I use Systemwide. My room is 7m x 4m but only 2m high so weird standing waves was a biggie. I have some acoustic treatment.
Huge warning: Switch it off on your speakers when you're recording, as the latency is... big. But switch it in for mixing - perfect. Setting it up takes a while but is fun! I have reasonable speakers (Rock Unity 2) and AKG K712 headphones for mixing.
All in all highly recommended for the money.
I have the Kali LP6s. I thought they were the greatest speaker upgrade ever. Then I got the Sonarworks software and reference mic. The difference is night and day. My mixes actually sound like I truly want them to sound, with far less effort from me and my DAW. I can hear the low end better, so I'm not boosting like crazy for no reason. It's brilliant. The software has also helped my headphone game.
I cannot recall how many hours I spent on calibrating speakers by hand. I guess this is going to be my new timesaver with much better results. Thanks for this video, I always enjoy learning something new from you.
I would like to thank you for turning an old Metalhead on to the Cure . I was aware of and covered Burn but missed most of their stuff. Your video on Just Like Heaven opened my ears to a big world of Cure .
Great timing- I just calibrated my home setup with Sonarworks a couple weeks ago. I'm working in a small space with walls nearby- lots of reflections and bass buildup. My speakers are set up decently well, but the are slight timing differences due to not being perfectly aligned. Turning on the calibration makes a significant difference in the stereo image- it brings a focus into the center that I didn't realize was missing. Controlling the bass allows me to hear the mids more clearly, and the sweet spot in my listening position is larger. I've been working with these speakers every day for about 2 years, and with calibration it's like having a new set of speakers. I definitely recommend it for those who are working at home.
Sonarworks does nothing to reflections, and does nothing to time domain in low frequencies which is maybe even more important than so called flat response.. if it works for you, great, for me, i hear those filters.. and for me naked speakers and MORE treatment makes way more sense than just using sonarworks, though headphones is different story, i like my hd650 calibrated.
I picked up the Sonarworks and mic a couple years ago and my only regret is I didn't do it years earlier. Mixes translate profoundly faster these days and I have so much more confidence handing off mixes to clients.
Made a huge difference for me, combining that with improving my acoustic treatment has helped tremendously :)
That's amazing to hear Arron!
Thanks for the video! Sonarworks is amazing. Using it with my Sennheiser HD 650, AKG k240 and Adam A8X speakers.
This video finally pushed me over the edge! Just bought the studio version :)
Wow! Thanks ever so much
It is a lifesaver I also use the listening spot adjustment because my room its a little irregular so i measure everything and it look like perfect but then I have a 1.5 db boost on my left speaker so with the listening spot it solve it and my stereo image is better what a great software.
Thanks for sharing Warren :D
Sonarworks makes a huge improvement for my monitoring, with both headphones and speakers (Shure SRH1840 / Dynaudio Core 59s) in my 15'x20' minimally-treated home studio with 11' ceiling. This makes mixing considerably easier. All thanks to this excellent review!
I've been using sonarworks for about a year or so now. I have the same low mid bump you are seeing (150hz ish). I never knew it might be because of my big desk so thanks for the info!
I don't have my proper studio yet and my pair of Shape Twins produce a low and a low mid bump peaking at +11 dB. I cannot afford a new flat rent for now so I have to stick with my 9m2 bedroom/studio. This software is saving my life actually. I don't see how I could have been working in such a small room with such big speakers without it.
I am doing marvellously well, thank you Warren.
Marvellous!! Thanks ever so much
Yes! My monitors had a big 6db dip of 200hz and then 100hz bump before i started using sonarworks! It became so much easier to mix lows and low-mids with calibration!
Yea i bought it for headphones today. A game changer for me! Love it!
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Thanks Warren, great video, Buying it right now!
Wow! Thanks ever so much David
@@Producelikeapro My pleasure, great folks at that company.
Fantastic
Ive been using Sonarworks since June and i noticed an immediate difference in my mixes. My room is fairly well treated but its on the small side and only has an 8’ ceiling so there are modes in my low end below 200hz. Sonarworks fixes these issues and i can trust what im hearing more than ever.
Sonarworks is one of the few plugins you actually need. I use it every day when using headphones. I’ve been using sonarworks for a few years and it’s made a world of difference.
I did this (Sonarwork) in my studio... after roomtreatment ... it is cool to see what your room looks like audiolike. Do i use it all the day? No - not for recording.. not for mixing .. at the end I switch between my room and the correction to get a second image. I like sonarwork a lot for the new understanding of my room... take care and greatings to all the soundcrazys out there...
Moved to a new property and was having massive issues after I installed the acoustic treatment. This totally fixed my room. Or at least it’s workable now, which it definitely wasn’t before.
Been using Sonarworks, both for headphones and speakers, for years now at this point and it's helped me so much being in not very ideal mixing environment. Definitely worth the investment!
I’ve had Sonarworks for over a year and all my mixes immediately translate now. No need for going back and forth between car, HIFI, wonderboom, iPhone earbuds.
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing
Awesome!! I just recently moved into my first "proper" home studio (finally got out of the bedroom hahaha). Been trying to acoustically treat my room, but man is that a tough task.... I have been putting off buying sonarworks for a while now, turns out when you convert it to brazilian money it ain't that cheap! Hahahaha
lolololol
I’ve moved my console to the side, move the speaker stands up and down, added rock wool type treatment. Hoping this will be the last 2%(aside from they % that rebuilds a room).
Best of luck Alex! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I had a set of Alesis monitor ones, for the life of me i could not get a good mix that sounded right in my car or anywhere else. i bought a set of Hs8's and instantly it was way better. a couple months after that i bought Sonarworks...MAN what a huge difference! now my mixes sound so much better, whatever i hear in my room sounds like what i hear in my car..it's crazy what a great set of speakers and Sonarworks did for me!!!
I've been hemming and hawing at getting Sonar works for years!!
I mix in a bedroom(10x13) with minimal treatment. I made four absorber panels, 4'x2'x4", filled with Roxul, two to either side of me and two behind. I intend on making a cloud over the mix position and probably a couple corner traps.
I'm still using my old Mackie HR624s, which work perfectly. At a perfect equilateral triangle the tweeters are 43" apart. If it would cut down on the amount of coasters I make doing car checks, I'll invest the $179 it's going for right now ;:-)
I also hesitated for years. It’s made an incredible difference for me. £200 investment makes a £2000 difference to the sound quality.
I've been using LP6's with Sonarworks for about a year now - phenomenal difference. I'm now In the process of building some acoustics panels. Fingers crossed the sound will be even better.
Just be sure to recalibrate after every room change
Great tool for the trade! It ultimately has to end up to the ears of a listener and lover of music! Albeit a mono blue tooth mushroom spaced thingy!
Best piece of software ever, period
Marvellous
Great comparison on how these great monitors can be taken to the next level....and it works for headphones as well. I had made some adjustments to my PreSonus Eris 4.5 on the back panel using the KRK mobile app to produce the Pink Noise and get the reading of the room using the mic on the phone. Have you tried this type of alternative before? I just got in to home recording and did the room treatment on my own and tried to research good options that were not too expensive. I find the speakers are sounding amazing for my smaller sized room, but I do not have a comparative. Stereo imaging is amazing, I had not experienced proper stereo imaging before.
Ayyy just finished Jordan from hardcore music studios video! I’m extremely interested in this for my studio. It seems like it would be a game changer for me.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I'm just doing-up my little home studio, so this is piqued my interest. I'm adding some sound treatment and this software sounds like it'll help me get the best out of it. May have found my black friday treat.
I’ve done some acoustic treatments in my room, I grabbed a trial and it is pretty amazing what it changed. I can’t wait for Friday for the sale. My only problem is deciding between the one with the mic and the one without it (I actually have a measuring mic) .
Their measurement mics are individually calibrated with a code that instructs the software to compensate for the exact mics ‘quirks’, so that’s a bonus. But I can’t speak for just how much difference there’ll be between your specific measurement mic and theirs. So only you can decide whether the extra cost is be justified.
Sonarworks.... GAMECHANGER!!!!
Cheers from Rhodes Greece Warren!!!
I love Rhodes! I wish I could travel there at the movement! So beautiful
@@Producelikeapro hopefully in a couple of years we'll get rid of this virus.
Keep safe
God bless
I use Sonarworks all the time in my DAWS. I use to use system wide, but I had major issues with it in connection with my super old interface (used only as a sound card). Recently, I just finally replaced the interface and am looking forward to trying the systemwide software again. I like having the software on when listening casual as to get use to what I am hearing... That way when I am mixing, I am not having to question everything as much.
Great video, thank you Warren.
I mix 70-80% on headphones in my little bedroom studio so I don't drive my beloved wife crazy. Sonarworks Headphone Edition is a big help to get good results. A geat piece of software.
I also can highly recommend to purchase a set of headphones from Sonarworks with an individual calibration curve or to send your headphones in and let them create an individual curve for your favorite pair. I think it's another big step up when it comes to work on headphones. I was surprised how different the individual curve of the Beyerdynamic DT 880 I bought from Sonarworks is compared to the average one of this model that comes included with the Headphone Edition.
Great video! thought Eric was in slow motion. I thought he was faster than green apples through a goose.
Haha very nice! Errrriiiiccccccck!
I've used it since early 2019. I use it for my headphones as well as my Yamaha HS 7's. It's pretty slick. Combine that with izotope's Tonal Balance Control and BAM.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I’ve got a great sounding control room but ref4 made that final 15% of accuracy. Great piece of software.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
Good to know, thx!
You're welcome! Thanks ever so much
I've used Sonarworks with a pair of Genelec 8050's (and 8040's before that) in a well-treated room for more than 3 years now. the before/after difference is incredible. I cannot work without it anymore. everything translates really well and I get stuff done in a more fun, fast & easy way (which is what it's all about imho).
I call it the 'poor man's Genelec GLM' (meaning it saves you quite some money compared to getting the GLM version of the same monitor: 8350 in my case, AND having to buy the GLM kit additionally also!). but there's nothing 'poor man's' about it, more like 'smart man's' GLM, AND it does headphones as well.
now I'm sure Genelec GLM is fantastic as well, and maybe someday I will switch to it when I can afford the 8351's (The Ones).
my girl said if we can still pay all the bills, have enough to pay for all the necessities in life and NOT get into financial trouble I got the green light anyway hahaha!!
keep doing your thing Warren, you are a continuous source of positivity and inspiration for me!!!
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing
I got Sonarworks a week ago - even in my treated room it makes an incredible difference. I thought my room/speakers sounded pretty good before, but when I toggle the bypass button, it's like someone removing a blanket from the speakers, especially in the lows/low mids. I can now hear kick drums properly! Just wish I'd waited for Black Friday now...
I was impressed with how fast Eric was moving haha! It took me a lot longer to measure mine. Have a Happy Thanksgiving all
Haha Errrrriiiiiccccck!
If you can't hear it you can't fix/mix it! So apart from trying to get your artistic "vision" in your head translated into a song/arrangement/recording and mix it, you also have to make sure that what you hear is what people get?! Damn, this music making is hard business.. ;-)
Hi Warren, thank for this great vid. How does this compare with using Waves Abbey Road Studio 3 for headphone use? I really enjoy using that plug-in to check my mixes. Cheers my friend.
There's a thing regarding waterfall charts for different monitors and as is said with the sonarworks getting a flat frequency response is helpful. It may be thought it would be not to get a set of tannoy reveals as they have a big bit on the bass on the waterfall chart from there ports. But as is done there when you boosted. The tannoy's could be of help to get the balance between the kick and bass I kind of thought that before aswell but good to see that yourself boosted the bass a bit from flat and it's useful
My last engineer said it best “music doesn’t work the way You want Your tracks to sound”
Thanks ever so much for sharing Jay!
I would advice to be careful with the "Linear Phase" mode because it does introduce A LOT of pre-ringing. It might not be too noticeable in a busy rock mix but it is very obvious in an electronic style track with maybe a hard kick with a lot of low end. You'll find your self wondering where the hell is the transient of your kick sample hehehe. I just use the zero latency mode because it may change the general phase of your mix but in the end it keeps translating very well.
Having said that: Sonarworks Reference is AMAZING, it will change your mixes for the better.
Had the same. The combo mode works great for me
Hi Warren! Once in a life, i would like to see a measure after the room correction. I mean, when the corrected sonarworks works on the audio output, you measure again with other tool (or sonarworks if it possible), and if it will be near flat, the correction is working.:-) . Always check the result, until it's a game stuff...
I have it, and I am happy :)
Fantastic!! Thanks ever so much for sharing
I get the thing with Sonarworks because it facilitates the process a lot. But if you get a 40€ measurement microphone and Room EQ Wizard, you can do some pretty good job for almost nothing.
Personally I tried a match EQ technique (matching recorded pink noise from my speakers with pink noise from the DAW), and it worked pretty well ! Also you can fine tune it after by playing the pink noise through the EQ and checking the result on an FFT (you can use a free plugin like SPAN for that).
Hope this can help some people on a budget ! :)
I've also been using sonarworks at about 70% mix. When at 100% it sounded way too weird and sterile. Good to know my instincts/ears were right since you also use them at around the same mix setting.
You can also use RoomEQwizzard and a e.g. Behringer messuring mic, and for example use vixengo curve eq in the control room of cubase, that way it gets not printed, in some daws you have to bypass it in the master if you export your mix - but even that way it's really worth it, of course sonarworks is more elaborate and better, I would also like to have it, ohh I forgot to mention that online you get many frequency response graphs for headphones, so you can flatten it yourself with an eq to a degree
makes my AKG 240's fantastic
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Sonarworks doesn't play well my V2 Scarlett. Pops and clicks render it useless. I was excited about using it in my untreated room. No bueno. I'm not the only one with similar issues. Buyer beware. Thanks for the upload. I'm glad you're able to get some use out of it.
Please make a video about mastering...the difficulties bedroom studios face.
Hey Warren I was wondering if you can do something on getting the speakers positioning right Nd the getting the right angle as there its not many thing on this topic that gets into proper details. Thank you
I’ve got the headphone edition and it’s really great (I was lucky enough to win it in one of the live streams a while back). I think I should upgrade the the speaker edition too!
Thanks ever so much!
Sonarworks saved my life.
Really impressed with the LP6’s and the correction software. I’m wondering if the calibration switches on the speaker should be set flat, I guess the calibration software will just compensate for whatever they’re projecting so it’s kinda immaterial! Great video thanks!
I’d do an initial measurement of the speakers in the room, and then do some basic correction on the speakers (if they’re bass light, boost on the speakers) and then remeasure so that the software isn’t working too hard. You’d rather not have the software compensating 12db in the low end, as it’ll require a 12db cut in output signal.
@@MarcusJayMusic thanks for the suggestion, appreciate that :)
I have an interesting observation. Even though I watch Produce like a Pro videos quite often they do not appear on the page when I open youtube as much as I expect. That is one observation. Today, none were on that page. The next observation is that when I go to where the filters are and (this morning I chose related topics like Audio Recording and Reproduction or Audio Production and mixing, I STILL didn't see Produce Like a Pro in the options on those pages. I had to actually search for Produce Like a Pro by name. I am subscribed to the channel and new videos do appear on my opening page, but it is strange to me that even after watching a couple of the Produce like a Pro videos yesterday and the day before that, none appeared on the home or filtered pages today.
I moved in with my GF since Covid and lost my nice office room I used to have in my apartment... Now I'm stuck in a basement sharing space with the washer/drier and dehumidifier.... It sucks!! I need to setup a booth in here to get back to my projects!!
im using a fabfilter pro q3 preset for my headphones on the master
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
It’s so nice but I wished sonnarworks would bring us a hardware correction box. The best would be a digital monitor controller :) with a subwoofer management and of cause sonnarworks
By the way, I've recently had my ears response curve drawed from a doctor, found I had a dip around 4k due to an old injury, so I now EQ to get a flat response on my ears also... I think Sound ID also takes that into consideration, which is great.
Watching many tutorials about SW and now I’m going to buy a license for the studio and mic. I want to know what's it going to do with my Yamaha MSP monitors. And my S-Logic Ultrasoon headphone as well.
Pair this plugin with GoodHertz Can Opener after it and you're unstoppable
I use this plugin and the difference is huge
I had a pair of bookshelf Philips speakers callibrated. Now they sound like fantastic monitors:). Iloud Micro's as laptopspeakers on my diningtable, callibrated:) Maybe i''l find some Logitech pc-speakers i can measure too... In the controlroom Kali lp6's with and without Adam Sub7 and IK micro's. Who needs € 4000,-monitors when there's Sonarworks??
I use sonarworks even having really nice speakers because ROOM is even more important than speakers! I don’t have perfect room at all
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Does the Academy teach about hardware (hardware pres for example) and routing type of concepts as well?
Hey Warren, can you elaborate a bit on the choice of the phase setting? It seems like you use Linear phase most of the time. How so?
I tend to like zelo latency because the pre-ringing can feel a bit misleading when you mix but would like to hear what the pros think about this.
I’ve been using headphone version for a while now as I haven’t got ideal studio settings in my house. One thing I always wonder and play with is should I use sonar works along with waves nx OR Abbey Road studio 3? Or on its own? And where would they all be placed in the insert chain? Great video yet again! Thank you for everything Warren!
Hi Brad, I use Sonarworks with headphones too. I add Abbey Road Studio 3 AFTER Sonarworks on my main output insert. So, SW 4 > ARS 3. Hope this helps.
Martin O'Neill Thank you! I will try it that way round too! I’ve been going Abbey Road without headphone eq and then sonarworks
What are your thoughts on Adam AX5 Monitors? in your experience how do they compare to genelec?
Sonarworks fixed some huge low end and mid range issues in my room that traps were not mitigating. I ran into some big problems with the software being buggy so I've stopped updating with every new release.
thanks can you do a video on the komplete kontrol s88?
I have a pair of behritones (avantone cube replicas). I wonder if it would make sense to use sonarwork correctiok on these? I believe it to be rather pointless because the speakers are specifically made not to sound flat but rather to give a good mid response. What do you think?
Warren, thank you for this very informative video. I understand the speaker measurements are done at 44.1khz only. After calibration, can it be used at 48/96khz? Also, I'm using an ASIO audio interface. Will it work with that?
Absolutely! The results will not be effected with different interfaces or sample rates
I use REW and DSP.
Yamahaa hs8 need any correction? Dont have any mic to messure but i have it for headphones.
Whats ur favorite reference tracks? Do you ever mix any hiphop/trap music?
Peace
I have found it frustrating that a lot of speakers/monitors made today are VERY directional. I’m not sure why that is the case; but I am wondering if it might be a function of how powered speakers work vs. passive speakers.
once you've balance your room, does sonar works need to remain installed and open all the time?
How does your systems maintain the corrections once made?
Cheers from Montreal!!
HOPE YOU SEE THIS WOULD YOU USE THE WET AND DRY KNOB ON THE SPEAKERS EVER ? OR JUS THE HEADPHONES
Have you tried the sonarworks side by side comparison of the waves nx headtracker? Im sure the sonarworks is more accurate, but wondering by how much? Thanks Warren you are my hero 🤘
I haven't yet! That would be interesting!
@@Producelikeapro hopefully someone will post the results.

SORT of related....could you comment on woofer or tweeter to the outside on the Focals?
They are set up as recommended by Focal, it's not typical, however because they are spaced wide the tweeters are set perfectly with the seating position.
Besides headphones, speakers and the room ... can this also compensate for old age hearing loss?
sound id I think can, you listen to several samples and it creates your profile. But if you go to your doctor they will give you the frequency range for each ear.
