About this plugin
The SoundID Reference Add-on extends Sonarworks' established room correction workflow to ORIA Mini hardware users who initially purchased their system without the plugin integration. Rather than a full mixing suite, this is a surgical addition that unlocks export capabilities, allowing engineers to translate their ORIA Mini room measurements into actionable mix references.
Sonarworks' approach centers on convolution-based correction, applying inverse frequency response models derived from the physical space and speaker placement captured during ORIA calibration. The add-on maintains this technical philosophy while functioning as a lightweight insert within a DAW, enabling A/B comparisons between treated and untreated mixes without leaving your session. The sonic character remains transparent by design - the goal is neutrality rather than coloration, making it fundamentally a diagnostic tool rather than a creative processor.

This add-on works best for engineers who've already invested in ORIA Mini hardware but recognize the value of referencing mixes across systems. It's particularly useful for those mixing in treated rooms but needing confidence that their decisions translate to consumer playback environments. The single-license-per-unit model reflects that ORIA Mini calibrations are hardware-specific, capturing unique room signatures that shouldn't be shared across workstations.
Among room correction solutions, Sonarworks maintains credibility through measurement rigor and restraint. This add-on doesn't pretend to replace proper acoustic treatment, but functions as a practical complement to it, offering the reference accuracy that room correction has become essential for in modern mixing workflows.
