Beyer Dynamic Virtual Studio headphone--is it free?

Yep...it's free...

Add it to the cart and checkout...

Downloading now...I'll check it out and post back...

I believe it is also available here http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/virtual-studio.html

Thanks all for the topic. I went to the link scook notes above and downloaded it for free. 

After unzipping the file there were two files without explanation. I created a beyerdynamic folder in my Sonar VSTs folder and dropped these two files in there. 

After loading Sonar I went to customize on my plugin layouts to see if it was there and it is. I then added this as an effect on my master bus of a song and checked it out.

It's like the VRM box, but just has four different speakers to toggle between. I like it and am glad to have it. The VRM box has way more going for it, but this is a nice extra something to have available.

Thanks cecelius2 for bringing it up!

Actually it has 4 different SPACES to toggle.  The web page talks about different speaker systems and spaces but I don't see any different speakers.  The data file that comes with it is a preset bank.  When you click on the left button thingy there is an option to load it.  I still don't get the routing.  It has possibilities and if they developed it into a paid app it would be good but the VRM is way better.  I would love it if the VRM were a VST instead of hardware.

This is useless IMO.
If you have to resort using this type of software try 112db RedLine or TB Isone from Toneboosters.

Isone from Toneboosters (who usually have great plugs) was completely useless to me.  This Beyer plug is much better IMO.  VRM is by FAR the best but it is hardware.

Maybe it's me then.
I tried it again on some Steely Dan references & it sounded phasey or like an old cheap boom box. (using ATH M50's)
At least with TB I can tune it in a bit.


Then again I don't use this type of software at all, never seems to work for me.
I get better results mixing using monitors at ultra low levels.
Never tried the VRM though.

I think my problem would be second guessing everything & doing more harm than good.

When I heard the "car" setting I thought, "I really hope this doesn't represent the average car stereo."  Trying to fix a mix to get that one to sound good would be madness.

I've used Redline Monitor quite a bit while on the road. FWIW, there' s a free fully functional 60 days demo.

The reason I dug RM was that it did not alter the sound as if it were played on these or those speakers, or emulate this or that type of room. 

Instead it focused on one of the big issues you face when working w/ headphones - the stereo field.

That's one approximation, already. 

If you keep on adding approximations to that basic one, it would seem to me that you're likely to end up listening to something that is sketchy at best and of little use - fake speakers in a fake room w/ a fake stereo image... I don't know, it seems risky to me.
