You can also load impulse responses of your favorite room, guitar cabinet, etc.Īnd it can do all this at the same time. You can load eq curves for various headphones - I am assuming the list will grow as BC almost always tweaks their releases. Has an overall Brightness control (whose setting don't show on EQ graph - at least on the video) You can use this to lend some 'acoustic reality' (my quotes) to head phones, in other words to give the user the same spacial characteristics that they would from using speakers be it near field monitors (what's described as a mixing room experience in the video) or a guitar amp on the stage. Since it appears to be a pluging VST, VST3, etc I guess there nothing to keep you from using it as an effect.
So for me it's a pass, but ymmv, and it is a good price if it does it for you.Įdit: Rewrote this because I realized what I originally wrote was not that helpful or insightful.Īn acoustic swiss army knife of head phone(?) tools. No doubt you can do it without these if you desired, it's just a matter of knowing your set up, and what you setup may enhance or lack, and over time you get a pretty good idea of what is what, I mean there was a time not that long ago these types of aids didn't exist. I think I will continue to rely on Sonarworks Reference 4, as it seems to translate pretty good ( although the more I use it, I am liking Abbey Road Studio 3 more and more), I will also keep double checking with Morphit/Nx/ARS3, but I think I have enough of these things to do what is required. I don't think these things should have EQ's and such for you to ' enhance' what the app is doing, that seems to be going against the purpose, as I said, my head explodes. That being the case, you would think that the applied correction curve for a specific set of headphones would be very similar from one app to the next, but in fact for the apps that I have that show you a display of said correction curve for a specific set of phones, they are far from the same? Can you say it sounds good, or it sounds bad? Isn't the point to make things sound somewhat 'Flat' and adjust/correct for where particular sets of headphones may be enhancing frequencies? I mean I don't think it's supposed to make things sound like a high end consumer playback system, but 'flat', so as you can hear more accurately how all the frequencies are interacting together without being enhanced. When I think about it it tends to make my head explode, perhaps I don't understand the purpose of this type of thing. Very limited selection of Headphones to choose from, this may increase in the future, but as of now, it's limited.ĭon't really like the GUI, then I have never been a fan of Blue Cat's, didn't think much of Axiom.
