Sonarworks has announced the release of SoundID Reference Virtual Monitoring PRO, the latest addition to their SoundID Reference family. This new system aims to provide ultra-realistic and accurate monitoring for music creators.

Virtual Monitoring PRO distinguishes itself from other virtual monitoring tools by focusing on personalized room simulation rather than generic presets or famous studios. It achieves this by using a purpose-built USB SoundID binaural in-ear measurement microphone and a guided measurement process to capture how a user's room and speakers sound from their own ears. This creates a unique acoustic profile that can then be reproduced on any pair of over-ear headphones.

Features

The system allows users to:

• Recreate their own studio sound on headphones, carrying their reference environment with them.
• Capture a client's or mentor's room for accurate remote collaboration.
• Copy other trusted environments, such as a car, for mix checks.

The workflow involves four main steps:

• Get Virtual Monitoring PRO: Purchase the package, which includes the software license and the binaural in-ear measurement microphone.
• Prepare your setup: Get your over-ear headphones ready, be in the room you want to capture, and connect the SoundID binaural in-ear microphone.
• Capture your space: Follow an intuitive, step-by-step process to create your personalized room profile (available from November 11, 2025).
• Apply and mix anywhere: Load your room profile into the SoundID Reference application, either as a plugin in your DAW or system-wide, allowing your headphones to reproduce the same spatial cues, balance, and tonal behavior as your studio.

Virtual Monitoring PRO delivers true-to-life sound through high-resolution personalized measurement, ultra-low-latency DSP filters, and full control over the target curve. It supports stereo environments and offers near-zero latency as a plugin and less than 20 ms system-wide. The measurement sample rate is 44.1 kHz, with playback supporting 44.1–196 kHz. It is compatible with Windows 11 or macOS 11 and above.

Pricing and Availability:

Virtual Monitoring Pro with the Binaural Microphone is available for €299.00 / $299.00.

Algoriffix has updated Transkr V2, the audio-to-MIDI converter, to version 2.9.2 adding chord matching and in-app purchases to its rich set of features.

Version 2.9.2 allows you to enter custom chords and have them automatically matched and time-aligned with the audio. Should you seek to use this functionality on complete songs, Algoriffix recommend you use a stem splitter beforehand to extract the harmony part or to remove the vocal. The chords are input as a comma-separated list of chord symbols.

Currently, the following 11 symbols are supported:

• maj (major).
• min (minor).
• 7 (dominant seventh).
• dim (diminished).
• dim7 (diminished seventh).
• aug (augmented).
• sus2 (suspended second).
• sus4 (suspended fourth).
• maj7 (major seventh).
• m7 (minor seventh).
• 7sus4 (dominant seventh suspended fourth).

The Axis progression in the key of C major, e.g., would be communicated as "Cmaj, Gmaj, Amin, Fmaj" (no spaces).

As a Mac user, you can now also unlock the full version by purchasing a licence from the App Store. To do so, click on the shopping-cart icon and select "App Store" from the popup menu.

discoDSP has announced Bliss 3.5, a major update to its sampling workstation, delivering enhanced workflow capabilities, performance improvements, and cross-platform refinements.

Macro Presets System

The new macro preset system transforms workflow efficiency with comprehensive save/load functionality for all 8 macro configurations. Users can now save complete macro setups as program presets, copy settings between slots, and manage individual macro configurations with ease. Enhanced MIDI CC configuration features clickable labels for quick assignment of CC numbers 0-127.

Performance Improvements

Bliss 3.5.0 delivers sample loading improvements, reducing load times. The optimized system prioritizes exact path lookups and handles banks with full sample paths more efficiently, particularly benefiting Linux users.

Enhanced Sample Management

Improved handling of external sample sources (SFZ, EXS, SF2) ensures user parameter modifications are preserved during bank loading. Multi-zone batch operations enable simultaneous editing across selected zones, including normalize, trim silence, loop detection, and more—all with unified undo/redo support.

New Cross Fade Algorithm

Equal-power crossfading with sin/cos algorithm eliminates clicking and popping at loop points while maintaining constant power throughout transitions. The expanded 2%-50% crossfade range provides maximum creative flexibility with artifact-free results.

Platform-Specific Enhancements

• MacOS: Native UX implementation delivers faster performance with Retina-optimized rendering. File storage relocated to ~/Library/Application Support/ eliminates permission dialogs.
• Windows: Fixed HiDPI scaling for license dialogs and popup menus at 125%, 150%, and 200% DPI.
• Linux: Resolved stability issues with background thread operations and macro linking.

Interface Improvements

Comprehensive right-click context menus, keyboard shortcuts dialog, effects preset dropdown buttons, and library menu cache clearing ensure changes to library folders are immediately reflected throughout the interface.

Availability

Bliss 3.5 is available now as a free update for 2.x and 3.x registered users at discodsp.com
