The Podcast Engineering Show

This show focuses on the technical production of audio podcasts. Chris Curran chats with podcasters about their audio equipment, software and workflow to help you learn how to produce better sounding podcasts. You’ll also learn solutions to common audio issues as well as plenty of tips and tricks. By listening to this show you will gain a TON of knowledge and skills that will make a HUGE difference in your sound quality _and_ save you time! Subscribe/Follow today and start listening! Your host Chris Curran has a background in podcast production (Forbes, Dun & Bradstreet, J&J, etc) as well as music production (Sarah McLachlan, Jeff Buckley, Foreigner, etc). When he entered podcasting in 2012, he noticed that most podcasters (and producers) do not have a good understanding of fundamental audio engineering concepts, which sabotages the quality of their sound from the very beginning. This show, as well as Podcast Engineering School, helps podcasters and producers reach professional levels of podcast audio production.

episode 180: Martins Popelis, Co-Founder of Sonarworks


My guest is Martins Popelis, Co-Founder of Sonarworks! Having achieved success with delivering reliable reference sound to over 30,000 music creators worldwide with Sonarworks Reference product, Martins is now a firm believer of delivering individually perfected sound to all music listeners, thus eliminating sound translation problem at its core.

Note: I'm a proud user of Reference 4 and I also bought Sennheiser HD650 headphones from Sonarworks which included a customized calibration profile ;)

Martins and I discussed:

  • Sonarworks Reference 4 (How Reference 4 works, various ways it helps production, various use cases and equipment setups)
  • Speakers, headphones and the room you're listening in effectively "EQ" the sound.
  • Measurement microphones (37 measurement points)
  • Re-measure after moving furniture, etc.? Yes.
  • Headphone profiles - Sonarworks has calibrated hundreds of headphone makes and models to create profiles for each.
  • Using Reference 4 Systemwide vs. within your DAW
  • Systemwide: Virtual instrument, ~20 ms latency
  • Sound ID - Research in consumer sound preferences. Machine learning asks user what sounds they like, then creates a profile for them.
  • Audio perception

Thanks for being a great guest, Martins!
