Bapu Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I find it interesting/cute that the Slate VSX phones are listed in the supported cans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Well you never know with Acustica.. I find it too convoluted for my uses. I only like using cans for spot checking, hate them for mixing or tracking guitars. You can make your cans sound good using the guru plugin but I want them flat.. I will say they sound better than SonarWorks which have that pre-ringing / phasey sound.. I'll keep the demo installed until it runs out & after they release the 3rd pack that has other listening environments; cars, speakers, etc... *also Tuesday they're releasing VolumeB ( extra$) Edited March 20, 2021 by Hidden Symmetry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headphone profiles will be but not the added studios, rooms or environments. Keep in mind early bird pricing with Acustica equates to a working beta release. They might change that policy down the road, add & include certain ones for free.. Personal discount codes should work on these packs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fret Flintstone Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Well I've jumped in , the penny finally dropped last night, even more so today with Vol C. I already own SW Reference 4, Waves NX, Waves Abbey Road Studio 3, Waves Ocean Way Nashville, Tone Boosters Morphit, and Realphones, and to me Sienna would be worth it for just the reference part alone(at least at intro pricing). It's as good if not better in that department than the others IMO, seems more detail can be heard, helps translate better to other systems just in my limited availability, phone, Laptop speakers, iPod, car, 2 different stereo systems, TV speakers, particularly in the low end, I've known this before and just allowed for it in a hit or miss way. But with Sienna it seems to be hit without the need to 'allow' 'guess'. Then the 'Rooms' plugin, which has of course the 'Rooms' simulation and also contains the reference part. It's quite nice and different rooms can reveal stuff. The flatter more natural rooms like the Spitfire stuff and various other 'Anechoic' rooms are really good for getting it right (So can be the other rooms) there is some really rocking rooms in there (vol A or B it's all Good). Then Guru, after messing around for a while in one of the spitfire rooms, fixing things up a bit, I started trying it out in other rooms, all sounded good, then I hit this one, and I just started laughing, it was just full on rockin', man it was awesome. Then today Vol C came out, tried it out on various types of speakers, all good. Then the truth, real world, iPod, car, stereos, TV laptop, all seem fine to me, in a better state than it was before. But I'll go back an change a lot of stuff around because there was a lot of ideas flying 'round in my head as I tinkered. Apart from Sienna, I don't think I will using any of the other correction plugs again, except maybe the Waves ones now and then when wanted/required, maybe with the HP stuff turned off and Sienna Reference after it, maybe not. I'm glad I waited on upgrading Sonarworks Reference 4. All IMO, ymmv Edited March 30, 2021 by Fret Flintstone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hidden Symmetry Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 The Spitfire room is where it's at for me..I always end up going back to that.. Started working on a full blown mix, once you get these dialed in it's a helpful additional mixing tool. Doesn't replace an actual room but helps me find issues the room doesn't.. Updates today: Sienna Update: Sienna (tool) A046: minor fixes + new headphones added MARSHALL MAJOR III, AUDEZE LCD-2, AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH M40X, BEYERDYNAMIC T5P mk1, B&W P3, GRADO RS2E. Sienna Trial A031: minor fixes + new headphones added MARSHALL MAJOR III, AUDEZE LCD-2, AUDIO-TECHNICA ATH M40X, BEYERDYNAMIC T5P MK1, B&W P3, GRADO RS2; Sienna Volume C A020: minor fixes; Sienna Volume C (Trial) A005: minor fixes.

Hidden Symmetry Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 This guy seems like he's mellowing out..he used to have fits when he tried Acustica products in the past. He'd be less puzzled if he read the manual first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I like the idea of testing my mixes on the car stereos, etc of Room Pack C. Can I just buy this pack only or do I need to buy Sienna first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fret Flintstone Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 You need Sienna first, it's well worth it. IMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t into the demo but actually watching the video above and reading more I think it’s useful for final mix checking. I currently use reference and canopener for headphone mixing but will never finalise a mix like that so it does the job with lower overhead than Sienna for now. I am well into the room checking side of things so I’ll wait till Black Friday deep discounts probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
