Riga, Lativa -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/01/2019 -- New York, NY, October 8, 2019 — As audio engineering and music technology programs across the United States begin to experience unprecedented growth, audio innovators Sonarworks [AES booth 313] have addressed a pressing need that faces virtually all students, educators and audio curriculums: accurate audio translation. With a plethora of quality speakers and headphones on the market, as well as listening environments of vastly different sizes, materials and dimensions, Sonarworks' Reference 4 software is able to digitally calibrate audio signals so they remain accurate and remove unwanted sonic coloration — regardless of the audio source or listening environment.

Post-secondary institutions all across the country have begun working with Sonarworks to make use of its groundbreaking software to calibrate a variety of listening environments — from large mix facilities, to medium-sized MIDI labs to smaller editing facilities. Some of the renowned education institutions already using Sonarworks Reference software include Conservatory for Recording Arts & Sciences (CRAS), Cr?-8 Music Academy, IO Music Academy, Middle Tennessee State University, University of Hartford and many others.

At the University of Hartford's Hartt School, all incoming Music Production & Technology freshmen are required to download Reference 4 on their laptops — virtually ensuring that students and professors are hearing 'the same thing' without unwanted coloration or frequency variations resulting from variances in the room, speaker or headphones. Further, audio calibration is being integrated into the curricula, with room calibration and accurate monitoring being addressed as one of the very first steps in a student's audio education.

A 'single source' education solution
To meet the growing demand for further educational support, Sonarworks has introduced a partnership initiative to integrate into audio programs and curriculums. The initiative consists of items including product discounts of up to 40 percent for verified education purchases, multi-user licenses for student accounts, and sponsorships for student competitions. Further, Sonarworks is able to help colleges and universities affordably integrate its calibration technology into academic curriculums — helping students learn their own systems while gaining an understanding of the principles of accurate monitoring.

Importantly, since laptops are now a ubiquitous tool for students, the new program provides significant discounts for institutions that want to have Reference 4 installed on their students' computers. This means that whether a student is making edits in their dorm room on nearfield monitors or mixing on a train with a pair of headphones, they can rest assured that their audio is properly calibrated to their professors, and that their mixes will translate.

The Hartt School at The University of Hartford offers a Bachelor of Music in Music Production & Technology, and has recently invested over a $250,000 in new facilities — including a brand new live room. The University, which is routinely churning out tomorrow's producers, engineers and audio post-production engineers, is proud to be on the cutting edge of technology. "My colleagues and I are always on the lookout for opportunities to integrate new technology that can improve the student experience and elevate our pedagogy," says Gabe Herman, Assistant Professor, Music Industry, The Hartt School, University of Hartford. "Over the last year, our decision to add Sonarworks into our curriculum and studio facilities has dramatically improved the quality of instruction and augmented our teaching experience in unexpected ways. By using this software, a teacher can assign a project with confidence that every student has equal access to the same basic listening environment and equipment."

Removing doubt, adding confidence
Sonarworks Reference 4 delivers the same accurate studio reference sound on all speakers and headphones, ensuring a consistent monitoring experience. "When you hear something in a session, you have to ask yourself if the room is making me hear this, or if it really exists in the recording or the source material?" observes Herman. "For decades, engineers of all kinds have had this issue — even in some of the nicest studios in the world where you have to check your mixes elsewhere to make sure that what you are reacting to in the source material is really there and not an anomaly of the acoustic environment."

Students often find themselves working in acoustical spaces that are far from ideal, such as dorms, even in campus libraries or coffee shops with uncalibrated headphones. "If I give a student an assignment and they go home to their dorm room and do their homework, they may be making all the right choices in their own listening environment," Herman says. "But when they come back to the recording studio the next day to play back their work in class, it doesn't sound right — and they may not have done anything wrong. It is an issue of translatability. What Sonarworks helps us do is level the playing field so we can have a common listening experience — and this helps students' confidence in their work and in their choices."

Latvian company relies on user feedback to improve award winning headphone correction app

Riga, Latvia -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/02/2019 -- Sonarworks, the European sound calibration software developers, have just announced the launch of a public research project designed to fine-tune the calibration of their award winning apps for individual listener preference. The Sound Preference Research Project, which is currently underway globally, allows users to audition music samples with different sound settings in a simple A/B assessment to choose the sound they prefer most. Based on the user input AI algorithm predicts the best possible sound settings for that user. The Research Project is currently open to all, with integration into Sonarworks' True-Fi mobile app planned for the end of Q2, 2019.

User results from the Research Project

"By deploying this project, we are able to gain a better understanding of sound preference trends that are happening across our vast user base, with the goal of delivering the ultimate sound for each individual on any device," explains Helmuts Bems, Sonarworks CEO and Co-Founder. "Everyone's listening experience is inherently personal. So by feeding AI the results from this project we are able to ascertain objective insight into how people perceive sound. This means we can arrive at a user's preference more quickly based on how they respond." Once the project is complete and its results are fully integrated into True-Fi, it will be possible for users to then tailor sound to their own listening preferences.

The Sound Preference Research Project is the latest in a series of outreach efforts that Sonarworks has made to its growing user community, a dialogue that has allowed the company to integrate user feedback into upcoming projects. "We have established a solid foundation for delivering Studio Reference sound across many different audio devices," Bems says. "The next step in this process is to create a seamless platform for users to discover and define their own 'Ultimate Sound'.

Furthering its mission to provide 'Ultimate Sound' for consumers, Sonarworks will soon be extending its Studio Reference technology into a range of new applications, including the residential and automobile markets. In January during CES 2019, the company unveiled a prototype automobile which integrated True-Fi technology. The company will be announcing new OEM integration as well as a new software offering aimed at wider consumer market towards the end of 2019.

Sonarworks remains an indispensable tool for Needham, who maintains a world-class monitoring infrastructure at each studio

Los Angeles, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/31/2018 -- Mark Needham needs no introduction for most people in the recording industry. A Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer and engineer, he has worked with the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Elton John as well as more recent acts including The Killers and Imagine Dragons. Clients are drawn to Needham for his innate mixing sensibilities and his relentless drive to help artists convey the unique emotional dimensions of their tunes. As an accomplished painter might rely on a discriminating set of brushes and nuanced colors, Needham relies on his own toolkit for mixing and monitoring — which for three years has included Sonarworks Reference software.

Needham maintains two separate studios: one in Los Angeles and the other in Nashville. These are more or less centered on the geography of his clientele, and each month he spends about two weeks in each studio environment. While the shape of these rooms are different, each shares a common equipment infrastructure: for example, the mixing console, the monitoring and outboard set ups are all similar, and both studios run Sonarworks Reference 4 on his Pro Tools 11 HD system.

Forging ahead in the mix
Very often, Needham will bounce between locations while working on the same project. "Since each room sounds a little different, this is where Sonarworks has become a helpful tool for me," he says. "Having the ability to work on something in L.A. in the morning, and then fly to Nashville and finish working on it during the night is no longer a challenge. I think, 'Oh, this still feels like the same song,' despite being in a different room, hundreds of miles away."

According to Needham, the most essential part of mixing is trusting his instincts and being confident in his decisions — whether he is working with Lindsey Buckingham, Chris Isaak or any other artist: "I want to believe what I'm hearing is what I should be hearing — and then make my choices really quickly based on that assumption. If you walk into a project and something sounds different, you tend to start doubting the choices that you've made, and this isn't productive. I like to be decisive and forge ahead quickly, without second guessing myself."

Are you hearing what I'm hearing?
Aside from being able to make critical mix decisions on his own, it is equally as important for Needham to understand what his clients are hearing — since in this day and age, they can very often be on the other side of the world. "I mix for a lot of people around the world, and I'm getting a lot more sessions over the last couple of years coming back to me with Sonarworks on — especially in the last year. I see more and more people using it. And if I can have a common environment where I can discuss the choices we are making, either in the bands' home studio or on the road in headphones, it makes it easier for both of us."

In the past, Needham's clients would be sitting in his immediate proximity while mixing. But now with more and more remote projects occurring and audio files being transferred over the Internet, Needham has turned to digital solutions such as Sonarworks Reference to help establish a common reference point everyone can agree on. Needham shares an extreme example of how communication can break down between the producer / engineer and the client:

"I had a band I was working with that kept referencing all these classic songs, and telling me I wasn't approaching the mix right," he continues. "They said that all these great songs, which I knew really well, always had the bass in the left speaker and all the higher instruments in the right speaker. I was like 'What are you talking about?' So I went to their house and found out they were listening to a speaker with a blown tweeter on the left and a blown woofer on the right. I'm like 'Oh my God…' And we've had been arguing for two or three days in the studio about how these songs were mixed."

The sharpest tools in the shed
Over the course of his 35 year career in the music industry, Needham has always been at the bleeding edge of new technology. Back in the late '80s, he was among the first to jump headlong into DAW platforms for digital editing — before the acronym DAW even existed: "I've always liked to try new stuff," he explains. "If it helps me, I use it. If it doesn't, I don't. When I made the jump to mixing in the box, most people thought I was a little crazy. Now all these years later, it is a completely different story — people see the benefits of coming back months or even years later to do recalls on a song. It was always harder on a console to be able to jump between nine projects in a day without recall."

Perhaps his greatest objective as a producer / engineer is to minimize anything that might get in between the song and the listener: "I try to make choices for the sound that help bring out the emotion in the song," he says. "To me, it's still important that we are listening to the same mix and that we are making the same choices — and these choices have to make sense on both ends of the phone or the stream. For the general listening public, I think Sonarworks SR is a great solution because consumers are going to understand the choices that the artist or myself made in the studio."

Engineer to Artists like Iron Maiden, Black Country Communion and Joe Bonamassa, and Instructor at the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences, Depends on Sonarworks

Phoenix, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/02/2018 -- Jared Kvitka is a Phoenix-based freelance, Grammy-winning engineer — who also teaches at the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences (CRAS), the premier audio recording, sound engineering and production school. Over the past several years, he has been associated with projects by high profile artists including Journey, Robert Cray, Iron Maiden, and most recently, the 'supergroup' Black Country Communion.

"I teach a class at CRAS where we talk about acoustics, accuracy and translation of mixes and frequency response, so when I heard about Sonarworks Reference 4, I was immediately intrigued," says Kvitka. "I was excited not only for myself and my own mixing work, but because I could share this with people as a tool to teach and learn on my own — because in this industry, the learning never stops." On launching Sonarworks Reference 4, the company came to CRAS and made a presentation. "When the presentation was over, I really want to put this in my room and listen to this on my own speakers."

Making Informed Monitoring Decisions: Past and Present

Kvitka, who has worked in several monitoring environments including as Head Engineer at Malibu's The Document Room — where he worked alongside professionals including Andrew Sheps, Ryan Hewitt, Rick Rubin and Kevin Shirley — is acutely aware of how different room geometries, acoustics and loudspeakers can influence the perspectives a mix engineer on his or her decisions. Eventually, Kvitka decided to go freelance, giving him more flexibility on where to work and what kinds of clients to take on, while engineering several projects for longtime colleague /mentor Kevin Shirley.

To say his career since then has been successful would be an understatement. Since going freelance in 2010, he has already received a Grammy for his work with Kevin Shirley on Iron Maiden's The Final Frontier and has worked alongside artists like Joe Bonamassa, whose "Live at the Greek Theatre" released in 2015 was also nominated for a Grammy. Back in 2013, Kvitka was also nominated for a Grammy for his work on the Seesaw album by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa.

Currently, Kvitka mixes in his personal studio — an outbuilding on his property that he has painstakingly, through trial and error, converted into a meticulous mixing room. "Before setting up my space in Phoenix, I was living in a two bedroom apartment in LA where I tried to set up a good mix space with some acoustic panels, bass traps and other treatment. All this work made me start thinking about all of these acoustics scenarios and how we can influence them — so it was setting me up for what I would eventually discover with Sonarworks."

Gaining A New Vantage Point

Seeing Sonarworks present its solution at CRAS was a turning point for Kvitka, both sonically for his own mixes, and intellectually in his capacity as an instructor. "Just watching their presentation is where it all started, and I was blown away by the idea of it," he says. "The approach was very different from some of the other companies trying to do things like room correction." He acquired a copy of Sonarworks Reference 4 and proceeded to the microphone analysis, step by step: "I was surprised, because the software recognized some things I thought were happening in my room — like a bump in the low-mids, or a frequency dip around 80Hz. Sonarworks gave me a completely new perspective."

Kvitka says that setting up the system was a snap. "Essentially, as soon as you load up the software, it walks you through the set up and all but holds your hand for you. I did the initial analysis in my room, loaded up a mix I was working on, and immediately began A/B-ing between the Sonarworks Reference 4 and the natural sound of my room. This took a little while to get used to because I have learned the sound of my room, as everyone does." He says that Reference 4 crystallized the picture of his room's low end, calling it a 'breath of fresh air.' "It told me exactly where my low end was, and I immediately started using it on my primary mix down track. And as I was mixing, it provided a solid reference point that I have been using ever since. Having this vantage point has given me a better perspective overall."

Trusting sonic perceptions

Since he has come up from a similar path, Kvitka empathizes with others trying to gain perspective on their mixes. "I feel like it is a common struggle for engineers to really understand what their mixes sound like. And for me, Sonarworks did it with the click of a button: just like that, you have this new perspective — everything is clear and no longer a mystery."

"Now, once I do the A/B comparison between my room and Sonarworks Reference, I feel confident when I send the mixes in," Kvitka concludes. "Most people go off and do the car test or take their mix to another room, but Sonarworks gives you the confidence in your own room so people don't have to doubt what they are hearing anymore. Now I can trust my mix — and it saves me a lot of time second-guessing and readjusting."

Kvitka is also encouraged at Sonarworks' commitment to ensure the end-consumer is hearing the music as it was intended: "I think letting consumers know that they have the option of a more authentic listening experience by hearing the music the way it is supposed to be heard is very powerful."

Groundbreaking standardization technology included in a significant update to Reference 4

Riga, Latvia -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/05/2018 -- Pioneering European audio software developer Sonarworks has established a groundbreaking new digital sound standard, to be included with the latest update of company's revolutionary Reference 4 sound calibration software launching in early June. The standardization technology, called Sonarworks SR, promises to resolve the age-old industry problem of disparate sonic reference points for audio professionals — delivering the same accurate studio reference sound on speakers and headphones.

By using patented, research-driven digital technologies, Sonarworks SR sets the frequency response to be like completely neutral speakers in a treated room. The calibration of headphones is done using a calibration profile pre-measured in Sonarworks lab, while speaker calibration profile is produced by a user on-the-spot using Sonarworks measurement software.

Solving an age-old problem for a new generation

"The entire professional audio community is acutely aware of the fact that every room and every headphone invariably has the effect of coloring sound. This has had an enormous negative impact on both costs and productivity — not to mention creative workflow. We estimate that at least one-fifth of the effort in the music industry is spent dealing with translation issues," said Martins Popelis, VP and co-Founder of Sonarworks.

"By establishing Sonarworks SR, we have an opportunity to align the entire audio industry on a common audio reference that works with unprecedented accuracy across different locations, devices and operators. We want to liberate music creators from monitoring translation issues so they can focus on musical decisions rather than working around the physical limitations of their room and gear," he added.

Starting with the latest update to Reference 4, Sonarworks SR will be included in all of Sonarworks software products, effectively reducing the need for professionals to check their mixes on different listening systems while dramatically improving workflow and production times.

"With the launch of Sonarworks SR, Sonarworks brings us a much needed new standard on headphone calibration and compatibility," comments Rafa Sardina, a twelve time Grammy award winning producer and audio engineer. With many more nominations in his pocket, Rafa is one of many studio professionals worldwide who feel that a new standard would greatly improve music production.

A new standard with professional ingredients

The Sonarworks SR standard is comprised of patented sound measurement technology and professional grade signal processing. The result is unprecedented accuracy (+/- 0.9 dB) among different locations, playback devices and users. The standard works equally well on both loudspeakers and headphones and is simple to set up.

Sonarworks SR also employs an innovative speaker measurement methodology that captures sound from 37 data-source points — which was determined by Sonarworks researchers to be the optimal point count providing superb accuracy and measurement repeatability.
