Create, Mix and Deliver with Confidence!
Calibrate your headphones and speakers with SoundID Reference software to trust every mixing decision. Its an intuitive creator tool made to hear every detail anew.

What Is It?!
SoundID Reference is a standalone app and a DAW plugin that calibrates speakers and headphones to deliver an accurate studio reference sound.

For Whom is it a Must-Have?
Made for audio engineers, producers, musicians, DJs, composers, sound designers, game developers, and audiophiles.

What It Does?
SoundID Reference ensures perfect translation so you can create music that sounds great on phones, laptops, earbuds, or wherever else its played.

SoundID Results
By working with the same reference sound with your colleagues and clients, you can save time and money, no matter the distance or gear you have.

How it Works
Even the best speakers can't compensate for the acoustics of a poorly designed room. SoundID Reference compensates for that by measuring the frequency response of your room and speakers to create a calibration profile. For headphones - simply apply a pre-made calibration profile available in the software. With calibration applied, your music will sound great everywhere.

Features include:

DAW Plugin and Standalone App

Works in all major DAWs as a plugin and as a standalone Systemwide app calibrating audio across your entire system.

Save Time with Translation Check
Simulate a wide range of listening environments, from a car stereo to a high-end hi-fi system. This allows you to fine-tune your mix to sound great no matter where it's being played.

Ability to Control Target Curve and Modes

Make custom adjustments to the target curve in real time and manually select the frequency range that the calibration will be applied to.

Various target modes - select flat to set the frequency response target to be neutral across all frequencies, create your presets or work on Dolby Atmos music target curve.

Zero Latency Processing

Select between different filter processing modes - zero latency for live tracking, mixed for greater flexibility, or linear phase to ensure there's no phase distortion.

Virtual Monitoring Add-On

Realistic simulations of high quality near, mid and far field speakers calibrated to the reliable flat reference sound. Spatial simulations of consumer devices such as cars, laptops, TVs and a smartphone.
