The Easy Way to Use Reference Tracks
It's easy to get lost in your own mix. That's why reference tracks are a vital part of any engineer's mix workflow. Sonnox ListenHub offers a convenient way to reference commercial tracks. What's more, it supplies powerful features that will help you gain more insight into your mix. ListenHub allows effortless A/B comparisons between your project and songs from popular streaming services. You can listen to just the mids or sides, you can explore specific frequencies, and you can determine whether or not your dynamics are on point. ListenHub also includes a robust cache of monitoring tools to help you make informed mix decisions; you can also access ListenHub from your smart device. If you prefer the immediacy and flexibility of a hardware monitor controller, but want the transparency of software-powered routing, ListenHub is the right plug-in for you. It places essential referencing and monitoring tools right at your fingertips.
Note: This plug-in requires an iLok account, but does not require the physical iLok dongle. Contact your Sales Engineer if you have any questions.

Helps you maintain your objectivity
When we've listened to our own mix over and over again, we tend to lose our objectivity. ListenHub solves this issue, enabling you to A/B your mix with commercial tracks from your streaming platform of choice. You can solo different stereo channels to check mono compatibility, and you can isolate selected frequency bands — a must-have feature for eliminating clashes. Here at Sweetwater, we like that ListenHub includes automatic loudness matching to remove any perception biases between your track and the commercially mastered one. You also get stepped volume controls for easy repeatability, effective loudness and dynamics metering, and a spectral meter display to ensure a balanced-sounding mix.
Enhances your mix workflow
Sonnox ListenHub takes all the guesswork out of mixing, thanks to its concise metering tools. You'll also have quick access to reference tracks, with direct streaming from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal, and your own local storage. ListenHub offers easy integration with room correction software via native Audio Units plug-in hosting. Because of this feature, applying plug-ins to any of ListenHub's outputs is a cinch. And, courtesy of Sonnox's free ListenHub app for your iOS or Android device, you'll be able to free up screen space on your main computer.
