In the world of music recording the combination of monitoring audio speakers and the room's acoustics can be the biggest barrier to accuracy. Instead of hearing the music you are producing you actually get a distorted sound created by the partial absorption of output reflected in the walls ceilings furniture and surrounding objects in the recording studio. With many Digital Audio Workstation home recording situations this is especially troubling until now.

IK Multimedia and sound equalization solution leader Audyessy have teamed up to give you the first room correction system in a plug-in form for DAW studios the ARC System. What is it? Using Audessey's MultEQ technology the included calibrated measurement microphone measurement software and multi-platform correction plug-in measures acoustical information throughout the listening area of your studio. It sniffs out the sweet spots and dead area then combines this collected information to correct both time and frequency response problems so you'll get a clearer more reliable representation of your musical mix. With the ARC System the improvement in your studio sound will be fairly instant and can be adjusted when new bodies instruments and other objects change the acoustic properties of your recording space. Finally you'll be able to trust that what you hear is what you're recording. This means faster recording schedules more honest mixes and better results all the way around.
