Harman Target Curve Feature

Hi, thanks for sharing your request! I've taken note of this for our product team :) 

I want to heavily UP this post. Having Harman as an additional reference (maybe in the alternative devices section, where also the translation tests are) would be very, very helpful. Some projects just require me to check the mix on a Harman curve as well (as there are many headphones out there that fit more into the Harman than the flat/neutral region) and now I have to quit SoundID Reference, open an additional gain controller to my project to lower the ouput level to what I have to feed to my ADI-2 Pro fS BE, where the Harman-Target is saved as an individual DSP curve, that I of course have to turn on, first. Very annoying - because if I forget to switch on/off just one thing, I mix against whatever reference. 
Cheers :) 

Hello, I fully support this request. On all my mobile devices and headphones I used autoeq.app to equalize the sound to the Harman over-ear/ in-ear curves. Therefore, it would be highly desirable to do the same on my PC(s) using SoundID Reference. Honestly speaking, after having spent quite some money I was surprised that SoundID Reference does not support it and instead I have to use uncomfortable workarounds to get the crurves.

Thats really strange not to include Harman cuve target. Really needet request to update!

Please add the Harman Curve Option!
 

I'd really like to use this with SoundID, the flat curve for me and my HPs isnt working really, I tend to produce overly bright mixes with it, cause it sounds “dull” with SoundIDs flat curve.
After some time now I tested this against a Harman target for my HPs and the sound is far more natural and reference tracks really sound like they should sound, with SoundID flat curve its sounding dull and therefore doing bad mixing and mastering decissions.

I invested into the Sonarworks system having the full package incl the virtual room add on for HPs, but realized now that Harman curve is the way to go for me and my HPs now.
 

I tried to create a custom target for SoundID, but looks like I cant really get to the Harman curve in there, something is off and I would prefer having a target from your side.

So I'm not using SoundID anymore for my HPs, cause there is no Harman target and flat is dull and unnatural.

And for checking real world rooms and devices on HPs there are also other tools out there that I already have.

Looks like you are loosing a customer here in this regards…

Also, you have for Android Devices the SoundID app where you can like make a hearing test and create a correction profile for your ears, thats super helpful, but why do you not have that in your desktop app of SoundID?

I'm using HEARS plugin now for this.

And the more I think about it, the more I realise that I'm somehow disappointed in your solution.

And I think I will also jump ship for speaker correction too, there are other solutions out there

So please add Harman Curve and the Ear Correction Profile possibility as options, to get me back in the boat.

Otherwise… bye

(But you already got my money, so guess it doesnt hurt you in any regards… so no need to act…)

I also would really really like the Harman Curve! It would turn every headphone into the best musically sounding preset it can have.

I'm still here, pushing this request again and again… Sonarworks - please add this feature. You already own all necessary measurements. @...… what did you accomplish so far? Cheers

I've also tended to use alternative options nowadays as I prefer the Harman curve over SoundID. I find SoundID sounds washy, smeared and dull in comparison to other solutions. Many successful professional engineers generally use curves based on Harman plus a neutral cross feed such CanOpener rather than a room or speaker emulator. 

How would that work? Would it appear in the targets area of the profile among car1 through car3, etc?

Add Harman OE in the graphs, and then have custom controls to be a able to align/correct headphones close to target without needing to load a particular headphone profile.

I really need the Harman Curve too. 

lets hope they make this happen 

squig link by capra audio is doing some amazing things. Sonnarworks could learn a thing or 2. Actually just open up the headphone profile to be able to do custom EQ profile for correction, that way I could just copy correction from squiglink. OR if you could add harman combined or better yet diffuse field target as option. 

I definitely won’t buy Sonarworks until they have this functionality. Thnks for sharing 

Another vote for this please!

3 years, why not add-on??

Another Upvote for this.  Seriously, this needs to be added immediately. It has been too long.

Switched from SoundID to applying the harman curve through fabfilter and equalizerAPO on my HD650s and the difference is night and day. I find that going for a textbook flat curve makes thing sound a bit dull compared to harman, would love to see this implemented.

if you could add this as a target curve like the other translation curves that would be super helpful. 

It's still crazy that this isn't in the application as some sort of custom target preset natively, like what!? Most voted item on this forum, and, I just started looking into sonarworks, and its the first missing I came across less than 5 minutes into using the software. GET THIS DAMN CURVE ADDED!!!

I strongly support the request. It would be a plus for all, Company and customer. What would be the problem?

Who knows?  At this point they’re simply ignoring a need that is hitting their revenue at this point.  It’s like the only thing I see people contemplating online.  Perhaps it’s one of those… we have your money so suck it….  Who knows.  It’s weird since it’s not something light, it made a HUGE difference in my mix quality on headphones.  In fact I made more mistakes using the recommended settings from Sonarworks, and lost sessions and cattle call Mixes and masters

I switched to Olloaudio X1 from my Sonarworks calibrated Sennheiser HD650. Olloaudio uses Realphones for the last tiny EQ on the X1. Realphone has a Harmancurve which I use to 50%. Its a gamechanger for me not only rhe Harman curve but the Olloaaudio are build close to very good curve for mixing. With the harman i can zoom in the lows and reduce the highs. Before Realphone i use goodhertz canopener. 

Wild that they haven’t implemented it yet. Would be really useful imo. I’ve gone back to using my headphones without soundID but this would make me go back to using the software. Any alternatives for getting that Harman curve in a similar fashion to soundID?

I think you can add this in manually with a workaround until they release this feature. Get your Harman curve data (eg. https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/list_of_presets/), then use the 10 bands at the bottom of the file and manually add this into a 'flat' headphone profile (Create a new preset → Select your calibration profile → Select Add a headphone profile → Individual calibration → Type in the AA000A profile ID; then add the 10 bands manually under the Custom Target). 

Ended up doing exactly that the other day haha. Thanks for the help still 🙏

Omg, it still doesn't have it! Glad that I checked before buying.
