I was always struggling with my mixes, despite the quality of my gear. I was finding myself mixing in headphones more often than not, just to eliminate the impact of my room on my monitoring environment. Thanks to Sonarworks V3, I can finally say that I have a truly flat response from my monitors. I ran a before/after test by calibrating my speakers again, the second time with the plugin enabled. The post-Sonarworks frequency response graph was very flat. My monitors used to overemphasize low mids and highs in my room, which caused my mixes to come out dull.

Now, with the balanced sound profile that Sonarworks gives me, mix decisions are incredibly easy and translate well. ** Shipping was fast and setup was a breeze.

I ordered the microphone from them to make things easy. ** The low latency option that they added to V3 is great, but is definitely a CPU hog. You will need a fast computer if you want to run Sonarworks on low-latency mode along with a low buffer in your DAW. **I run other music through my DAW via Soundflower so I can take advantage of Sonarworks when listening to music.Įven if you have room treatment and good monitors, you can benefit from this software. #SONARWORKS REFERENCE 3 TRIAL UPGRADE#Īt $350 (with the mic), it is probably cheaper than upgrading your room or your monitors, and it accomplishes more than either upgrade can offer. If you are on the fence, they have a 21 day free trial period, so give it a shot. #SONARWORKS REFERENCE 3 TRIAL SOFTWARE#.
