| SoundID Reference – the leading speaker calibration and room correction software from Sonarworks – has gone multichannel! The core functionality stays but it reaches beyond regular stereo all the way up to 9.1.6 Atmos systems. It also works for headphones, pulling ready-made profiles off a database numbering 480+ models. By calibrating your studio headphones, you can achieve consistent reproduction between your headphones and speaker setup. Here’s more about that and the other good stuff… Sonarworks SoundID Reference for Multichannel The software imports frequency response measurements of your studio space taken from a reference mic. It proceeds to analyze them and conform your listening setup to the kind of flat-but-not-dead target curve you’d want from a professionally tuned room. The curve can be adjusted manually or its calibration frequency range limited to problem areas. The new Multichannel variant supports zero-latency operation (on AVID and DAD DSP hardware), phase alignment of individual channels, and a host of relevant features: sample rates up to 192kHz, speaker setups from 2.0 to 9.1.6, and compatibility with Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite. For users familiar with Sonarworks, the process is largely the same. For first-timers, you basically go through a simple step-by-step process of measuring your room’s frequency response with a Sonarworks reference mic. Then SoundID works inside your DAW (the standalone app is still Stereo-only).
