dSONIQ releases Realphones 1.8 | Headphone mixing plugin | Updated sound and new rooms
by dSONIQ   5th July 2022

Maybe someone here could help. When using the system wide on my M1 MBP, I have a hard time with latency being fairly bad (especially noticeable if watching a video) no matter how low the buffer setting. I usually stay at 44.1 khz. But if I switch to say 88.2 khz and then back to 44.1 khz, the latency is much more manageable. (I change all devices in Audio MIDI set up to 88.2 as well as in the realphones plugin, and then back to 44.1 for all devices and in the plugin.)

Thank you dSONIQ, a very generous update and it's amazing the detail in the club setting.

We are glad to introduce you to our latest update: Realphones 1.8.193

Realphones is now compatible with macOS Ventura
We also fixed a bug that could cause the equalizer to load in the wrong state.

This update is free for existing customers.

Excellent!

Thank you very much for the update.
Any chance of having the files named with the version number?

Installers with version numbers are available here: https://www.dsoniq.com/download/release-notes

Hi, I'm thinking of buying some Neumann NDH-30 headphones, do you have plans to add them?

Awesome, thanks muchly

Has Realphones been tested with kontakt ? It seem to introduce a lot of noise, and bypassing realphones got rid of the noise ?

Any chance 1.8 will be made available to us that bought it in the Fluid Audio Focus headphones bundle?

Is the version 2.0 still coming in 2022? I remember fall 2022 was the original release target.. maybe it has changed?

2023

Yes, we plan to add these headphones, but no ETA yet

BTW now is the best time of the year to try Realphones, as Black Friday sales have already started:

Having tried Sonarworks, Sienna & Waves Nx series, it is the Realphones from ver. 1.8 "the one" in my book.

Just if you could add the Audeze MM-500 I just ordered, and I'll be an even happier customer.

Any chance the Audeze LCD-5 might make it in the supported headphone listing? The 5s and Realphones would be a match made in heaven

Greetings, I don't know if someone has already asked or has an idea how to do it, before buying realphones I mixed with yamaha monitors calibrated in K-SYSTEM (K20) it makes mixing easier, my question is, how can I have K-SYSTEM (k20 ) with this cool real phones, thank you very much.

As far as I know, you cant. You can use a K-system metering plugin that tells you when your levels are at K-14 etc. I know iZotope Ozone has the ability to set its output meter levels to K-system but there must be others out there.

I don't use K System but Span RTA will let you have a K weighted scale for the output meters.

That’s a good tip.

The correction profile for Audeze MM-500 is now available!

Oh nice one! Cheers - will check it out

amazing, thanks!

Oh man!! Thank you. I’m gonna test it tomorrow!!! Any comments on these headphones? Did you like it? I’m mixing with them without correction and loving…

Tried the MM500 correction for a short while yesterday and found that in lots of cases it felt like way too much correction. I ended up settling on around 30% on the correction slider but also turned off pretty much all low end enhancement. Need to spend more time but most settings initially sounded much too scooped when going for a fairly neutral starting point.

Sonarworks is just dissapointing at this point. The app is full of bugs and somehow dsoniq manages to get the MM-500 profile out first..

That's my only criticism about realphones. Love the software but the headphone correction is a little over the top generally, too hyped sounding.

I just installed the Realphones trial, but the systemwide app is not working for me. No matter what I set the buffer to, it is constantly stuttering any audio passing through it. However if I load the audio file directly into the app, it works fine. But iTunes/VLC/Youtube all stuttering.

The VST3 however is working great in REAPER. Anyone have any thoughts as to why the system wide isn't working?

I had the same issue. U have to open midl and make sure that the buffer and the rest of the settings are matching up with the interface’s
