The Sonarworks ride is crazy; you put it on and it instantly sounds weird on your mix, then you just get a feel for it and eventually adapt to the sound. Once you think the mix is done, you turn it off and now it sounds weird again but an appropriate weird, then there's that feeling of relief, knowing your mix will sound good how you intended it to. Thank you for giving light to Reference or just the idea of "flattening the sound during the process;" this will help out the beginners making their way to professional sound!
Once again you prove why this is one of my favorite channels! I work at Guitar Center... I used to tell EVERYONE about Sonarworks. The average customer comes in and asks for “flat” speakers or headphones but don’t understand that most consumer products are NOT flat (or their listening environment is affecting how flat it could be). But people never listened to me, so I stopped wasting my breath. People do listen to you, and this video is what people NEED to see. Thank you Sanjay!
@@SanjayC No they sound awful on busy tracks but I can't afford anything more at the moment so, for now, I'm just mixing on headphones and just composing on the monitors.
For solving this you can also mix in mono because stereo separation can sometimes fool you, if you mix in mono your mix will sound the same across all your speakers!
Very nice Sanjay! I use Beyer Dynamic headphones like you do and didn’t realize how bright they are on their own until I used Sonarworks with them. It freaked me out but my mixes translate better now. I don’t always prefer Sonarworks over listening to my Focal Shape 65’s but they did wonders for my M-Audio monitors.
@@SanjayC agreed. One other thing worth mentioning is that for someone who moves around to different studios it can make a difference, akin to bringing your own set of monitors but obviously you would have to take time to analyze each studio room. That being said I know guys who do this and it helps to maintain consistency.
Sonarworks (both headphone and speaker editions) have been such a helpful tool for me the last couple years being in environments that aren't exactly ideal for mixing. Made my mixing process faster overall. Definitely worth getting for anybody thinking about trying it.
Finally someone does a sonarworks review video showing mixes with and without sonarworks. Thankyou!! I suggested this is the only way to demo sonarworks on a video by a marvellously well known youtuber and he flamed me for daring to criticise him. bravo mate great video well done!
@@SanjayC a really helpful video would be comparing and reviewing different vintage synths/starter synths. Would be really helpful for making a big commitment to a synth if you’ve reviewed them. Thanks
@@Johnohara7385 In the meantime, check out the Arturia Microfreak (and the recently updated Vocoder edition firmware or limited edition hardware) as well as the Arturia Minibrute synths. Also check out Novation Bass Station II with the updated firmware containing AFX Modem (Aphex Twin created patches). There’s also a recently released AFX Station limited edition.
I tried this once and I absolutely loved it. It was the trial mode tho. I would love to purchase the license soon. I’d need to save some cash first. Great video as always!!
The conclusion is that speaker/headphone + sonarworks is an improvement, but any thoughts on trade off? For example, $300 for sonarworks versus $300 more into purchase of monitors/headphones/room improvements.
Never thought about using Sonarworks on cheap speakers, but that makes a lot of sense! I'd love to check Sonarworks on my HD650, they are great, but aren't completely flat
Thanks a lot for this amazing review! I really like your explanation and thanks for the current news about it being reduced in price right now. Wanted to watch your review of it, because I trust in your reviews a lot. Thank you Sanjay
@@SanjayC Weird thing is I have massdrop Sennheiser HD6xx cans and they sound better/ more natural using the hd650 setting on morphit. This probably has to do with my 6xx being one of the older Irish made ones that sounded more identical to hd650s. I also set the target to generic studio curve.
I LOVE that song. Is the full song up anywhere? Also I’ve never seen this addressed anywhere though I’ve looked it up. My car speakers even when I set everything to like baseline default settings still make everything sound the same. Whether I mixed it or Dr. Dre mixed it, it seems some car speakers normalize sounds? I’ve even looked in the cars manual and it said all it does is normalize bass to prevent speaker damage over time but it seems they’re doing more than just reducing bass. Is this a thing? Or have I reached a new level of ear fatigue? Great Video as usual.
I've been shopping for this, but I face a problem. There are 2 different items. First one costs 70$+ and comes only with the stick (microphone). The second comes with the stick and another software. (300$+) Which one do I need? Does the stick alone works, or I need the software with it? Cheers,
Thanks Sanjay, for the detailed comparison and different scope of this product, specially the part where you explained the things it can do and it can't. Saw many reviews but yours was really unique ☺️❤️ Keep the great content coming ❤️🙏🏻
I see that the ADAM A-series monitors now support Sonarworks at the DSP level inside each speaker. I'm contemplating the purchase of new monitors and ADAM is on my short list. Just wondering if anyone has tried this.
Had it for about a year and this just reinforced all the reasons why i purchased it to begin with. (Also reminded me i need to calibrate again since i moved my speakers lol
Yes, it should, although you may miss some of the sound space that speakers will give you. But its possible. Do with what you have. That's most important
Even a flat headphones still doesn't work like a speaker, when you ear stereo speakers, the sound comming of the left one is not only hear by only your left ear, you also hear it in your right ear after reflexion, in a headphones, you just ear the sound comming of the left earcup in your left ear That can lead to phase issues Headphones are also more fatiguing and you need to make more pauses
@@nixx5490 That makes sense. Ultimately for me, just as a bedroom producer, my hope is to get more accurate mixdowns in my headphones that translate to clearer mixes in general. The music I produce is more chill hop/ ambient...more focused on study music consumed most often through cheap headphones.
Do you think its worth waiting for a deal bro as Thanksgiving is so close by? Also would be great if you can do a video on top deals for blackfriday and cyber Monday during that time when the deals come out.
Great idea. I'll make that video for Black Friday deals. I'm not sure if Sonarworks goes on sale during Black Friday. I didn't see that happen last year.
Is it possible to see the changed equilizer setting and share them with all? At least it will work to correct the harsh sibilance in Beyerdynamic. Maybe some speakers can be improved as well if we know the presets.
Thats awesome sonarworks is pretty good for beginners. I love your videos you are so calm and straight forward to point. Stay blessed and happy always both of you ❤ love from Himachal Pradesh, India ❤❤❤❤
Now that SoundID is out, have you tried the translation check feature? You can test on your monitors with the sound of different car stereos, laptop speakers, etc.
Sanjay, I love your music and being a singer, writer, composer and arranger myself, we may have to collaborate! Your sound is so similar to that particular "airy, easy listening" sound I heard when I was recording in Atlantic Records in LA. The settings on their final mixes had this sound and vibe! Great job my friend and I'll be in touch! :) - Charles III
@@SanjayC Yes! I'm praying this covid-19 get on outta here! I have to get back into the studio. You're really good and I'll be in touch brother! Keep up the outstanding job!
Hi , iv got sonarworks ,I have a question , I have a SSL6 mixing desk which will be in my mixing chain , when I’m setting up my speakers to sonarworks to calibrate should I plug my mic in to the mixing desk then from the desks to the soundcard. Or should I plug the mic straight into the sound card or interface ,thanks
Music + Science ! Ya love to see it 🎛🎧 🤓 Great video 👍🏼 will be trying out RME ARCUSB to help with quickly switching monitoring sources to keep mixing it up, & try to keep it flat throughout. This software seems awesome
Actually this is not true. If you have a completely untrated room sonarworks will introduce extreme boosts and cuts which sound unnatural. Sonarworks works much better with rooms that have some acoustic treatment.
Sonarworks seems great, specially for bedroom studios and for those who can only afford to mix with headphones. I'm just amazed how it can adjust the frequency response. Although I have a little doubt about you're method. Because in the end, it still depends on the listeners. Very informative, great video!
They both gave me similar results - highlighting the same problems in my speakers. I do like the interface of Sonarworks better and that it is not a plugin. But if you already have Arc, stick with it. You don't need to spend more money, unless you want the headphones correction part.
I have those Logitech speakers! I'll eventually get some proper studio monitors, but Sonarworks Reference 4 would help a lot even with my Beyerdynamic dt-770
Mostly between two speaker it happens phase, that phase drops some other frequations o viceversa. I use Behringer deq2496 it improved me, but for headphones now i purcaid Sonarworks sound id.
So dope! If you get a moment, would you mind doing a comparison with TB Morphit by Toneboosters? (It still operates as a plugin, so not as integrated into the computer system as Sonarworks).
This make me remember back in the days when Bose speakers first came out. Bose then was the odd shaped boxes with I think nine small speakers in those boxes. The whole setup was speakers, stands for them, and a Bose box where everything plugged in and out of. All of Bose advertising was about using multiple small speakers and the reflected sound since they were designed to be put a foot or so away from your wall, the reflected sound would spread the stereo image. Bose hyped the reflected sound over and over. Well later people started digging into the Bose speaker and discovered they were using basically the same speaker as out of a Cadillac car stereo system, a at the time a $4 speaker. People were wondering what is making the Bose system sound so good. Bose advertising constantly talked about reflected sound and multiple speaker when it was that mystery Bose box that was the secret ingredient to their sound. Tearing the box down revealed it was a equalizer boosting and cutting the signal to make those inexpensive speakers sound good, which is basically what your Sonarworks is doing. Tweaking the speaker to make them flat. Bose had analyzed the speakers they used used the mystery box to compensate to make them flat. There is units like this for live sound. I worked for a large church and we had a similar type system I believe by JBL that had a microphone we put at our mixing location. The mic sound was sent to a rack unit that in real-time adjusted the signal being sent to the power amps EQ'ing the sound. Large rooms and concert halls the sound is changing all the time with the number of people in the room so have this system kept the room sounding the same all through the night.
This is nice to know that there are options, even if you got a bad or not necessarily bad but "colored" studio monitors you can change that. Really want to win those :P
Really cool to see the comparison. The first example showed really that the sound "got out from the speakers" more. However should you really hold the mic while you meassure and not use a stand? (or maby this was just for the video)
The Sonarworks ride is crazy; you put it on and it instantly sounds weird on your mix, then you just get a feel for it and eventually adapt to the sound. Once you think the mix is done, you turn it off and now it sounds weird again but an appropriate weird, then there's that feeling of relief, knowing your mix will sound good how you intended it to.

Thanks so much, Chris. So cool you work at Guitar Center. Is it fun having all that gear to try out?
great
What do you mean the inexpensive studio monitors are flat response. Yamaha hs5 and jbl lsr305
This is so hilarious! I literally use those cheap speakers as my mix monitors and never realised how bad the response was!
It may be different in your studio...maybe not as bad as mine.
@@SanjayC No they sound awful on busy tracks but I can't afford anything more at the moment so, for now, I'm just mixing on headphones and just composing on the monitors.
I've found myself watching a lot of your videos over the past few months, really appreciate all your time and enthusiasm - thank you :)
I appreciate that, Christopher. Thanks for the support
Bro that song is 🔥🔥 when the beat kicks in and that harmony layer comes in - all the feels! ❤️
Thanks Rev Saybs! :-D Still a work-in-progress, I need a part B :-)
For solving this you can also mix in mono because stereo separation can sometimes fool you, if you mix in mono your mix will sound the same across all your speakers!
Good tip!
@@SanjayC yeah sir worked for me every time!
all you gotta do is turn your second speaker off and then listen to the whole mix and make adjustments and you will get the results!
This channel deserves millions of subscribers! Keep on inspiring starting music producers.
This will be very helpful for producers who can't afford a lot and still get great mix results. This is a game changer!
I was just considering changing monitors, but now with this system there's so much I can do with my current ones. It sounds fantastic!
Very nice Sanjay! I use Beyer Dynamic headphones like you do and didn’t realize how bright they are on their own until I used Sonarworks with them. It freaked me out but my mixes translate better now. I don’t always prefer Sonarworks over listening to my Focal Shape 65’s but they did wonders for my M-Audio monitors.
Thanks for sharing. I think Sonarworks really helps budget monitors much more than high-end ones. And also helps correct room problems.
@@SanjayC agreed. One other thing worth mentioning is that for someone who moves around to different studios it can make a difference, akin to bringing your own set of monitors but obviously you would have to take time to analyze each studio room.

Awesome information, didn’t know such type of products exist. Will definitely have a look into this in the near future. Thanks Sanjay!
Glad it was helpful!
excellent demo. I'm sold!

this is a great review, i wanted to check how sonar would work and this cleared all my doubts, thank you Sanjay!
The conclusion is that speaker/headphone + sonarworks is an improvement, but any thoughts on trade off? For example, $300 for sonarworks versus $300 more into purchase of monitors/headphones/room improvements.
Get room acoustic treatment first

It would be great if you could do a morphit vs sonarworks comparison for headphones. I couldn't find any videos on that
Oh wow..I'm going to have to try morphit!
@@SanjayC Weird thing is I have massdrop Sennheiser HD6xx cans and they sound better/ more natural using the hd650 setting on morphit. This probably has to do with my 6xx being one of the older Irish made ones that sounded more identical to hd650s. I also set the target to generic studio curve.

So, when is the winner announcement of your competition. I'm so eager!
Later this week. The music is still coming in!! :-)
@@SanjayC I hope I win the giveaway.
You need to mention its price. And should've shown the demo of the calibration, I mean what sample sound does it takes through the mic, sine wave?
I recently became interested in this world of mixing, and I've heard of the good results you get working with sonarworks reference.
This is really neat! In theory, if you can get your headphones flat and mix there, that mix should translate to other mediums, right?
Yes, it should, although you may miss some of the sound space that speakers will give you. But its possible. Do with what you have. That's most important
Even a flat headphones still doesn't work like a speaker, when you ear stereo speakers, the sound comming of the left one is not only hear by only your left ear, you also hear it in your right ear after reflexion, in a headphones, you just ear the sound comming of the left earcup in your left ear

Will my headphones translate a good mix just using the headphone sonarworks option?
Yes, it will, but its good to mix/test on speakers as well. But honestly, I've mixed on headphones before and I was able to do an adequate job.

Well honestly, you could just look at the EQ curve you see in this video and reverse it. ;-)
How we do this if we have 2 subwoofers? Should they be on when doing the sonarworks calibeationprocess ?

Seems so cool, I wondered how well this worked!
Love this! Would be insane to get a hold of sonarworks!
What if I'm using the krk g4's that also have correction, would it complicate things, make it better or not effect anything? What do you think.
This track slaps 🔥 great video
Thanks! :-)
This is really beneficial for bedroom producers with untreated rooms.
Absolutely!
@@SanjayC Wait a sec... That track at 1:40 was mixed using expensive Adams? How could that reverb left so dirty?
Actually this is not true. If you have a completely untrated room sonarworks will introduce extreme boosts and cuts which sound unnatural. Sonarworks works much better with rooms that have some acoustic treatment.
@@hannebudio267 I know, I was referring to the headphone one because it's not reasonable to use monitors to mix in untreated rooms.

Sound very interesting!! love your vids man! like always best energy on youtube thanks sanjay!
So nice of you
Does the headphones version work on all headphones? Or only the included ones?
Tested ones, there's a list of headphones on their website, check whether u have yours, if so buy.
Really looking forward to testing sonarworks on my headphones!
Sonarworks seems great, specially for bedroom studios and for those who can only afford to mix with headphones. I'm just amazed how it can adjust the frequency response. Although I have a little doubt about you're method. Because in the end, it still depends on the listeners. Very informative, great video!
All my Mix is with headphone and in a few month i buy some Speaker ( Adam, RCf, Focal, Kali ??? ) Claibration xith Sonarworks .

can you tich who to add sounds to the ROLI keyboards and who to conect to Abelton Live Lite
how*
I'm curious to hear the results of mixing with the cheap speakers and sonarworks compared to the actual monitors.
Hi! Where. / when do you announce the winners? Thnx man!
Great video. How do you manage to mic the headphones for the correction?
How to measure with mic, if I have a subwoofer? Do I turn on speakers and subwoofer and only measure the speakers?

Can’t wait to try this out in my studio!
Quick Question, Sanjay:
Adam Audio T8V Or KRK Rokit RP5 G3?
I haven't tested either of those so I can't really say. But between the KRK and Adam 5" monitors, I think the Adams are better for accurate mixing.
Great video as always.😊🤗🤗🤗
This is nice to know that there are options, even if you got a bad or not necessarily bad but "colored" studio monitors you can change that.
Really want to win those :P
Really cool to see the comparison. The first example showed really that the sound "got out from the speakers" more. However should you really hold the mic while you meassure and not use a stand? (or maby this was just for the video)
This was for the video. I actually used a stand. But you know, the Sonarworks instructions show someone just holding the mic.
It's honestly crazy how far this software can push speakers. I want!
One of the best plugin for mixing i love it
Thanks for good information
You're very welcome!
Hey sanjay, can you make a video on JBL nano studio monitors? I've been seeing them from past few months in Amazon recommendations.
I’ll look into it
Wow this one is actually pretty useful 😃
Thank you..glad you think so. I really had fun with the Logitech test. I couldn't believe it fixed those speakers
