Hi all,

We hope you're doing well and are ready for a new exciting feature in SoundID Reference!

With the SoundID Reference 5.8.0. version release (Oct 10, 2023), we are happy to introduce the Virtual Monitoring Add-on. Virtual Monitoring delivers accurate spatial simulation of stereo studio speakers on your headphones, allowing you to take your headphone mixing to the next level: Here's a quick overview:

  • Hear realistic simulations of high-quality near-field, mid-field, and far-field speakers calibrated to the reliable flat SoundID SR reference sound.
  • Monitor your mix reliably on virtually simulated speakers inside your headphones.
  • Works with over 500 supported headphones in our database that you can trust.
  • Works with individual headphone calibration profiles for the highest accuracy.
  • Includes 10 new spatial simulations for Translation Check (cars, laptops, TVs, and a smartphone).
  • Available in the SoundID Reference standalone app as well as the DAW plugin.

 

Note: Virtual Monitoring is a paid license add-on, a base SoundID Reference license is required. A free trial is available for everyone, see these articles for more details: 


 

Check out this new feature and let us know what you think!

 

Happy mixing!

The new add-on doesn't show up in the AAX plug in. Is it a bug?

Hi Stefano Bonzi, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, Virtual Monitoring is available across all plugin types (VST, VST3, AU, AAX). Make sure you have selected a headphone profile preset in the preset sidebar as Virtual Monitoring applies to headphone profiles only.

If the issue persists, could you please attach a screenshot of the License information in the plugin? Launch the plugin -> click on the three-dot icon on the right side -> select "License information" and take a screenshot of the plugin window. 

Thanks in advance!
