An ear-opener

OskarSomnof, 26.06.2019

As somebody who has been struggling with getting the mixing of my music right, this program has changed everything.

Once you put it on your master it's like you can actually hear now. Getting rid of your setup's acoustic imperfections (or minimizing them) is ear-opening.

The feature set is somewhat limited, in my opinion, but at the end of the day Reference does what it's meant to do.

The auto volume adjustment feature was kind of irritating at first, but after a while you just learn to turn up your speakers/headphones with the plugin inserted.

The studio bundle, I think, is reasonably priced and is a worthwhile addition to studios of all levels.

All in all, Reference 4 is certainly worth the asking price and can help you raise you mixing to a higher level.

Good at fixing small problems in frequency response

RF12, 05.04.2018

I got this program to help finalize my studio monitor room. I have heavily treated room, and good enough monitors. Still to be sure I wanted something to measure my room and possibly fix the minor problems that were there (bump around 100Hz that comes with smallish rooms etc). For this pourpose the program works well. The most fixing it had to do was around 6dB, so minor changes only considering room size.
So how dit this affect the sound of my speakers in the room? It helped to clarify bass and mid frequencies, and revealed some things that were hard to pinpoint inboth my and others mixes. The systemwide part of the program makes it easy to listen music from youtube/spotify/etc. and the daw plugin is nice too. The only problem in systemwide is that it only uses windows direct sound (I'm a windows user), and has no ASIO support yet, though Sonarworks seems to be implementing it later this year.
Also I would like to say that the program is very easy to use. It guides you through the measurement phase very well. The only thing I would have liked for them to include was a mic clip. I had to resort taking a clip from a sennheiser handheld mic, and pad it a bit to get a snug fit so that I could use a mic stand.
