I'm hoping those of you using SonarWorks Reference ID would be willing to share your experience with the "translation check" feature. I just started using the software a few weeks ago. This is my first experience with room correction and with applying EQ curves to the master bus output to simulate different listening environments, so I'm hoping others might share their perspective.
I've been using the "translation check" feature quite a bit. I apply the various EQ curves to a reference mix and then compare it to my own. This seems to be giving me a deeper insight into areas in my own mix that need attention.
I only have 1 set of monitors in my studio and I cross-check mixes on a pair of consumer earbuds. This new tool I have available seems sort of magical to me since it, in theory, gives me this super power of hearing what my mix might sounds like on other playback systems.
I'm not sure how accurate these various EQ curves are at simulating other monitor systems or helping with translation out in the real world. I mean, obviously I can hear that the various EQ simulations do what they are supposed to. What I'm wondering is if this feature is something I can rely on to get my mixes closer to finished before checking on other playback systems.
I'd be interested in hearing of others' experiences with this feature (or other, similar software), how you use it, and any pearls/pitfalls you might be willing to share.
Thanks in advance!!
