SoundID Reference for Headphones by Sonarworks helps you make mixing decisions with a more neutral listening reference. Using a library of over 500 headphone calibration profiles, it corrects your headphones’ frequency response toward a flat target designed to resemble neutral studio speakers. Rather than adding character to your tracks, it adjusts what you hear, helping you judge tonal balance and create mixes that translate more reliably to other playback systems. Load the VST, AU or AAX plugin in your DAW, or use the Systemwide app on Windows or Mac to apply correction across your computer’s audio. Custom target controls let you reshape the listening curve and choose the frequency range receiving calibration. It suits home producers, headphone-based mixers and musicians working between different locations who want a more consistent reference for mixing and mastering.
