Immersive audio has well and truly been the talk of the audio industry in recent times and Genelec capitalised on this to launch their Aural ID Creator app in 2019 which utilised your mobile device’s camera to analyse your head, ear shape, and upper body to identify your listening experience.
The app creates a personalised ‘Head-related Transfer Function’ (HRTF) which this plugin will now utilise and upload straight into your DAW.
Whether you’re mixing on the move and don’t have access to your monitor setup or you just simply want to check how your mix translates to headphones, this one’s for you.
Spatial calibration of your virtual monitor positioning is available as well as sound colour calibration which can compensate for and correct your headphones’ natural biases.
The ‘Headphone Specific EQ’ option applies a corrective EQ curve for a particular headphone model, based on a growing library of professional headphone data, while a second option provides more general compatibility with any professional headphones.
There’s also an additional 6-stage parametric EQ section is available in both modes to provide an even more tailored experience, to match your in-room monitors or your individual workflow.
Genelec Managing Director Siamäk Naghian said “we believe that in-room loudspeaker monitoring is unrivalled for recording and mixing, but high quality headphones play an important role as a supplementary monitoring tool.
“Aural ID empowers headphone users by giving them the confidence to switch between monitors and headphones freely, delivering mixes that translate consistently to the outside world.”
Aural ID is available in VST, AAX and AU formats for easy integration into any DAW.
