Virtual Monitoring Add-On for SoundID Reference

The Virtual Monitoring Add-On for SoundID Reference lets you mix on headphones while hearing the spatial width of real studio monitors. Developed by Sonarworks, this add-on introduces multiple speaker emulations, including popular near- and mid-field models, so you can judge stereo depth and make confident panning decisions without a treated room. It works with over 500 supported headphones and is calibrated to the flat SoundID Reference sound, giving you a reliable, translatable reference. Ideal for hobby producers and engineers who work in untreated spaces or need to mix on the move, it helps bridge the gap between headphone and speaker listening. The add-on requires SoundID Reference software and includes a three-week Reference trial with VM access. Whether you’re producing in FL Studio, Ableton or Logic, this tool brings the feel of a studio monitoring setup to your headphones.
