Bapu Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Looks like a viable competitor to both Sonarworks and Slate VSX combined. Since I own both of those I'll have to pass on this magic bullet. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PavlovsCat Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 I'd love to hear the opinions of experienced mixers who've used this plugin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see someone (or some publication) do a shootout between the various plug-ins that do headphone correction. Cheapskate that I am, the one I own is HoRNet VHS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realphones is next, and then Sienna. It's a tricky comparison because a lot of users are getting their first set of decent planar headphones for the first time with Slate as that's what they come with. If all Realphones users were buying new planar cans at the same time as Realphones it would be a more reasonable comparison. The edge Slate have is that the correction is based off the individual unit you actually receive from my understanding. You can also get individual correction measurements done by Dsoniq as well though. Note: Slate doesn't do system wide on Windows last I checked, which is a huge let down in comparison to Realphones which does. I'd rather be listening to audio through the DAW as well as YouTube, Spotify whatever through the same correction and setup instead of having to mentally adjust for the differences.

There is a VSX System Wide in Beta which can be downloaded via Steven Slate Audio Center. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others also do simulation of the mix room (different studios) on top of that. Just comparing like to like. Anyhow, there are a lot of pros who use and trust VSX (and gush about it in the forum). I don't get that same impression with the other products. Edited January 8 by ALC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up and that add-on was released October, 2023. Thanks. Didn't know that. In that case, it's worthy of comparison, so I'm looking forward to more users' thoughts as it gets more use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bapu Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Now that I own VSX, SoundID and Realphones Ultimate I can test all three using my Sennheiser 650s. And I can test VSX vs Realphones using my Slate VSX HPs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, let us know how you think they all compare please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
