The ability to get audio production and mix work done anywhere and everywhere has made headphone mixing a hugely popular practice in recent years. While results will vary between different setups, a commonly cited drawback is the more restricted stereo listening field that headphones deliver when compared to traditionally configured stereo speakers. This results in more complicated mixing decisions as an allocation for 'additional stereo space' must be always be considered before the final bounce.

With the Virtual Monitoring Add-On for SoundID Reference users, Sonarworks seek to bring the versatile stereo space of studio monitors directly into headphones.

The VM add-on is loaded with multiple studio speaker emulations including popular near and mid-field models. When enabled, headphone mixers can meticulously recreate the effect of listening in front of regular studio monitors to make the same informed mix decisions and provide translatable mix after translatable mix.
