The purpose of this section is to help you quickly get the reference monitoring sound with your headphones.

(1) Choose a "Studio" emulation which is the best starting point for standard monitoring duties.
(2) Adjust "Emulation" if you need more or less emulation depth of a selected space.
(3) Adjust "Tilt" if you need to change the overall bass / treble ratio.
(4) Adjust "Calibration" If you hear any unexpected timbral colouring, we recommend reducing the value until you get cleaner sound perception.
(5) Use the "Output Level" control to decrease the signal level If you experience an overload. (6) You can also use automatic volume compensation.
Repeat steps 2-4 several times until you get the right sound of the reference track.

USC can be useful for reference monitoring, mix-checking, composing/arranging and for relaxed listening to music.

After working with USC for a while, you'll find the most useful presets that work for you. During mixing, it is very convenient to switch between these presets quickly. Just save them as snapshots and you'll get one-button access to your favourite presets.

To assign the current state to the snapshot button, right-click on the desired button, and select the Take Snapshot option.

You might want to rename a Snapshot. To do this, right-click on it and select rename.

Realphones Professional and Realphones Ultimate will give you access to a wide range of studio spaces and acoustic system emulation, along with the ability to fine-tune every parameter that influences the sound of these emulations.
