Virtual Monitoring Add-on: Worth the Cost For Added Features?
The Virtual Monitoring Add-On (VM) for SoundID Reference simulates a spatial speaker listening experience onheadphones, allowing music to sound as if it's being played through professional stereo speakers in a well-treated control room. Virtual Monitoring utilizes binaural audio rendering technology, incorporating crossfeed and spatial room simulation of specific devices and environments. When using Virtual Monitoring with headphones, the workflow mirrors that of working with stereo monitors or other simulations. Employing this tool empowers creators to enhance their mixes on headphones, ensuring a more consistent sound translation across different devices. Please note that Virtual Monitoring is available only for headphone calibration profiles.
