The SoundID Tools app, developed with Latvian company Sonarworks and approved by Dolby, is available now on app stores, reports Labs of Latvia.

The app brings Dolby Atmos Personalization directly to creators’ hands, enabling a more accurate and consistent headphone monitoring experience for immersive mixes. It is free to download and free to use.

It is claimed that the result is headphone monitoring that more faithfully represents the immersive soundstage the creator intends, bringing greater spatial and timbral accuracy to every Dolby Atmos mix made on headphones.

“Every creator’s physical characteristics are unique, which affects how they experience immersive audio over headphones. By combining Dolby’s technology with Sonarworks’ calibration expertise, the app enables more accurate Dolby Atmos monitoring. We are excited to work with them,” says David Gould, Sr. Director of Content Creation and Distribution, Dolby Laboratories.

Sonarworks, whose SoundID Reference calibration software is used in more than 300,000 studios worldwide, brings expertise in acoustic accuracy to the collaboration. The partnership with Dolby ensures that the app meets Dolby’s standards and is compatible with the full ecosystem of professional Dolby Atmos content creation tools.

“At Sonarworks, our mission has always been to help creators hear their mixes accurately and with confidence, no matter where they work. We are thrilled to partner with Dolby to help Dolby Atmos creators make great-sounding immersive mixes on headphones — and to deliver more value to the broad community of users who rely on SoundID Reference calibration for accuracy,” says Martins Popelis, CPO & Co-Founder, Sonarworks.
