Head Phone Calibration Software?

Does Cakewalk have any applications or anything built in that calibrate different headphones? I am mostly using AKG.
 
Cheers
Andrew

    Cakewalk does not have any type of headphone calibration built in.
    There is a popular 3rd party program that does this: Sonarworks.

    Not really. It was included in the TB All Pack which is no longer available. But I know someone who uses it all the time when he is on the road.
    You can demo all the ToneBoosters plug-ins with the only restriction that the changes won’t be saved in the project and they come as simple dll files.

    I have tried the sonarworks headphone calibration software and it has helped me a lot. My mixes now sound a lot better when played outside my mixing setup. So I ended up buying it.

    But I still believe that it's better to use a decent pair of studio monitors if possible

    AFAIK Isone has no presets for particular headphones, so the Sonarworks is several steps ahead regarding that.
    At least I've found no info saying otherwise.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

    Sonarworks is awesome and they have free custom calibration going on at the moment... My KRK headphones are much more usable now...

    I've got two Sonarworks tests going on right now. Nowhere have I heard mention of free custom calibration. Do tell...

    Oops - hadn't travelled to the Deals section yet where that free calibration is noted by our great friend Larry.
