The headphone mixing plugin. Did you hear someone say you can’t mix on headphones? Nonsense. Let naysayers ramble on about how you can’t make music on headphones while you shape great-sounding tracks anywhere you are. Get Sienna Get Sienna Sphere Sienna is NOW available as in iOS app, a cross-platform System Wide app and FREE in its special Sienna Free version Ahead of the curve. Sienna works out of the box with over 180 headphones – and counting – from the world’s most famous brands that we consistently measured and profiled using a highly sophisticated and extremely accurate system. During our research, we considered both physical measurements and complex psychoacoustic phenomena, plus we put all competitors through their paces. We soon realized that it is insufficient to apply an inverted curve to the signal like most plugins do. If anything, that’s the perfect recipe for disaster. If you tried some of these plugins yourself and thought they sounded plasticky or artificial, there is nothing wrong with you. That’s what we noticed too. And it got us thinking. Not all headphones are born equal. The truth is, there is only so much a headphone can physically do to reproduce sound. These limits are inherent to the way all different models are built. And that is fine. To use an analogy, you would never try to hang ‘The Birth of Venus’ by Sandro Botticelli on a wall using a tack and expect it not to fall down. Likewise, you can’t squeeze a corrective gain of, say, 15 dB at 60Hz into a headphone that just can’t physically take it and expect it to sound ‘just right.’ To achieve sound quality and reliability, we had to check all headphones. One. By. One. We learned the ins and outs of their designs, their limits, and their strengths to find an individual curve that wouldn’t introduce any artifacts whatsoever. And the only way to do it was by ear. On the back of this approach, we developed an algorithm that optimizes each headphone’s overall response to work well with our room emulations. A human touch. We wish everything was measurable. But this is not a hundred percent scientific process, and not everything can be sampled or profiled. Fine-tuning each headphone by ear was critical to the final outcome. As a result, we managed to minimize the perceivable timbral differences between headphone models. Compatible Headphones List A different approach to headphone correction. Sienna takes a radically different approach from other plugins in correcting your headphones’ response and emulating mixing and mastering rooms, high-end monitors, Hi-Fi systems, car stereos, TVs, radios, laptop speakers, and more. A unique combination of Acustica’s exclusive sampling technology and a proprietary algorithm not only makes any headphone perform better – regardless of its price point – but recreates on headphones an authentic, mixing-in-the-room feel you can’t find anywhere else.
