Flexible Filtering Modes Shape Your Experience

SoundID offers three distinct filter modes to suit your workflow. Zero Latency provides real-time monitoring with minimal delay, ideal for tracking. The Mixed mode balances latency and quality for mixing situations. And the Linear Phase setting prioritizes precision over latency, perfect for mastering or detailed listening sessions where time alignment is crucial.

Powerful Processing Tools Enhance Your Monitoring

Go beyond basic calibration with SoundID's additional signal processing controls. The Mono feature sums the left and right channels for pinpointing phase issues. The Dry/Wet knob blends the direct and processed signals for comparing your adjustments. And the Safe Headroom limiter protects your ears from sudden volume spikes during long sessions.

Integrated Control and Versatile Compatibility

For seamless operation, the Apollo Monitor Correction Add-on enables running SoundID's calibration directly on your Apollo X audio interface hardware. You also get MIDI mapping and customizable user presets for quickly recalling settings. And with included standalone, plugin and Apollo versions, SoundID Reference is compatible with virtually any DAW and workflow on Mac or PC.
