Buy this, save £1k by not buying new speakers
JoeO 18.01.2022
I've had my HS7s for about 4 years and was looking at upgrading to something like Adam A7Xs etc but decided that ultimately, theres no point buying new speakers if my room isn't right. I don't have the luxury of being able to properly treat my room so I got SoundID instead, thinking at least it will help somewhat before I can get a more permanent setup. Genuinely, this is amazing.

As long as your speakers are already in the right place, it takes about 20 minutes to setup. The process is fairly simple and the software guides you every step of the way. If you mess up you can go back and repeat a step anyway. After you've finished measuring your room you get a graph depicting how accurate your speakers are currently. Despite not having any treatment, I always thought my speakers sounded ok. Turns out I have (had) a -12dB notch at 90Hz and have a number of 3dB peaks and troughs across the low mids. I went through all my favourite reference tracks and was blown away. You can A/B really easily with the software and hearing how I normally listen vs how things are 'supposed to sound' was quite eye opening. The only slight con I have noticed is that keeping the software on 24/7 drains my battery slightly more than anticipated. However, in all fairness I am due a new computer fairly soon (2016 MB Pro).

The only downside is that now all I have to blame are my bad mixing skills!

Excellent calibration features!
Gorbz 16.08.2021
This piece of software (and mic) does an excellent job to flatten my studio monitors as well as my headphones. My only complaint is that is gets confused as to what my interface is when I switch on my AXE-FX III and then I have to restart it sometimes.

All in all, excellent product.

Works great
MassMic 06.12.2022
Obviously not a substitute to an acoustically optimized room, but even when so, a positive difference is heard. With headphones, you can get the ultimate flat sound you need. The better the heaphones, room, or speakers, the better your sound. SoundID gives that extra push.

Effective Plugin
RonWC 26.02.2024
This plugin has definitely made a difference to how I hear my mixes. I use it as a plugin within Sonnox ListenHub, which lets me switch between monitors and headphones. I feel that the mix now translates well between the monitors (Adam T5V) and the headphones (Beyerdynamic 880). It has also really helped me to place the acoustic treatment in my room. Overall, a worthwhile investment. Hasn’t made me a better mixer unfortunately!
