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

[trubadyr]

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?

[danymalsound]

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

[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.

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.

[Mattstar]

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?

[JeremySchoeneman]

Exactly what I've been looking for!

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?

[MegaSoteris]

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

[rhythmelofreak]

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

[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.

[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 !

[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)

[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.

[DanglyLingham]

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

[hamm]

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.

[Songwriter]

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

[RichieOtu-uk]

but what about the issue with your low end

[jips]

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?
