While we couldn’t find a single thing to not like about the plugin, it might be interesting to see a future release with custom curves for different monitors, much as they offer with headphones now. Additionally, several options are available to tweak the EQ curve applied to your room, as well as options for phase accuracy, including a Linear Phase option which offers the most accurate correction for your room. The correction also goes far beyond mere frequency shaping - there is a substantial change in clarity in the stereo field with the plugin engaged, and judging panning, stereo processors, and spatial effects became markedly easier.Īlthough I personally didn’t opt to use them often, the plugin also offers several emulations of various monitoring setups - including the famed Yamaha NS10 monitors - which can be applied to your master buss, enabling you to sense how your mix will sound on different playback systems. As someone who loves mixing in mono, I also found the mono button to be a great addition to the plugin. The Reference 3 plugin made every single decision I make in the studio - from what sounds to choose, to how much reverb and delay to add, to dialing in compression and EQ - vastly easier and quicker. I came to realize after using the plugin for some time that it doesn’t make your audio sound more polished in an artificial way - it’s simply letting you accurately hear the frequency and phase content of your music. Running some of my favorite tunes through the plugin - tracks I’ve played in rooms ranging from small clubs to the biggest rooms in NYC during DJ sets, and which I know inside and out - revealed a far more accurate representation of what the records actually sound like in the real world, outside of our studio. Of course, if a room correction plugin simply makes your audio sound more flattering, this may not help you as an engineer - but after using the Sonarworks 3 plugin for over a month now, I can say with certainty it has helped me deliver far more polished mixes. Bypassing the correction in the plugin revealed the low mid and low frequency buildup we hadn’t noticed before, and everything simply sounded muddy and lacking in clarity. Inserting the plugin on the master buss of a session was nothing short of a revelation - everything sounded more clear, more defined, and much more cohesive in the stereo field. The Sonarworks system detected some fairly significant low and low-mid build up (~+5dB) as well as a slight dip around 1K, a critical region for vocal mixing as well as mastering. We have a substantial amount of high-end corrective material up in the DJBooth studios, but due to the odd shape of our room and extremely high ceilings, we knew the sound could be more accurate. We would without hesitation say this is the first plugin any producer or engineer should buy to expand the capabilities of their DAW - it’s really that game changing. FeaturesĪfter using the Sonarworks 3 system for just a couple of days, it had become indispensable in my workflow.

Changing the stdin mode requires OS specific code, for example on Posix systems you will use functions from termios.h and on Windows functions from windows.h.Setting up Sonarworks Systemwide takes a quick install and authorization - after that, you’ll see a dropdown menu with controls for the correction in your Mac’s menu bar. If you want to not mess your already printed text, you will need a way to put the stdin stream in a no echo, unbuffered mode, read the cursor position from stdin and parse the string to recover the actual coordinates. The problem with the above is that the position will be shown on the Terminal in this format: ^[[row colR You can also inquire about the current cursor position using: printf ( " \x1b [6n" ) // Print current cursor position This is what I see on my machine, if I run the above code: Please note that I’ve placed the ANSI escape codes for saving and restoring the cursor position in two new functions saveCursorPosition and restoreCursorPosition Let’s start with a simple C example that will print a green text message on your Terminal: 1 #include 2 3 int main ( void )
