Grammy Award-Winning Engineer Talks Mixing At Home With Studio Calibration Software

With so many audio professionals and music makers now working outside their typical studio environments, be it working from home in a makeshift temporary setup, or working entirely ‘in the box’ while on-the-go, it’s never been more important to trust your environment.

For those of us that are working primarily on headphones during this time, Sonarworks offer individually calibrated headphones for use with its best-in-class audio correction software Reference 4, including sets from popular headphone manufacturers, such as Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic and Audio Technica.

Be sure to check out our product test on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pros.

Using Reference 4, whether on calibrated headphones or in any room where you can tune your monitors into custom workspaces, ensures that even during these times where we are forced to work outside of our comfort zones, we can still mix tracks remotely for clients, confidently, with the same reference sound-making collaboration between engineers, artists and clients, so much simpler.

Reference 4 has been embraced by professionals at all levels, including Grammy-winning mix engineers such as Aamir Yaqub - London’s Metropolis Studios - who relies on studio calibration software to provide balanced, flattened equalisation and to ensure he gets full value from his studio equipment, including his monitors, effects pedals and software plugins.

“I love the Genelec sound, so, I already trusted them — but I trust them even more now, since I installed Reference 4.

I had used those speakers for so long, but they had never been in a tuned room, or an acoustically treated room — so, when I first installed Reference 4, I thought to myself, ‘These speakers have never sounded this good!”
