Description

What is ListenHub?

ListenHub for macOS is an audio control application that places essential referencing and monitoring solutions at our fingertips.

Why is it so useful?

When we listen to the same track repeatedly we can easily lose all objectivity; becoming fixated on some details and missing others altogether. The bigger picture, the mix and the music are often compromised.

ListenHub for macOS provides the perceptual resets and consistency required to hear with fresh ears again.

Consistent with our approach to all Toolbox products its been designed to simplify previously complex workflows and empower users to make better mixing decisions.

It’s intended to appeal to to a wide audience; producers and mixers, from bedroom to pro, who are looking for an effective insight into improving their mixes.

Comparing our own work to a reference is one way to help achieve this; ListenHub for macOS supports this approach by allowing instant access to such references from any streaming source or from a users own media player/DAW. Listen to just the mid or sides, low-mids or highs of a mix and discover whether its dynamic range is competitive or too crushed.

Users can access ListenHub directly from their Macs or the free iOS and Android apps for tablets and smartphones.

ListenHub for macOS takes the immediacy, flexibility and tactile nature of a hardware monitor controller and marries it with the complete transparency of software routing. It can be used as a zero-latency plugin or a system-wide app hosting AU plugins on each output.

ListenHub in Use

Perceptual Reset

A/B your mix with your favourite songs. Hear where you’re competitive and what you need to tweak.

Solo different stereo channels to check mono compatibility, low-end focus and explore the stereo field.

Isolate frequency bands for fresh perspectives and focus on overlooked details like kick and bass relationships.

Don’t be fool into thinking the loudest reference sounds the best. Remove any loudness bias by automatically matching the input level of all inputs.

Repeatable Results

Stepped volume controls provide quick, repeatable listening levels for consistent mixing decisions.

Simple loudness and dynamics metering keep you grounded. Stay green to stay competitive; it’s that simple.

Spectral meters display the frequency content to ensure a balanced mix, reflective of your chosen reference tracks

Audio meters are often intimidating because they are contextless and show many different standards. ListenHub features easy metering tools that help you stay on track with your music.

Stop spending time looking for, buying, or downloading your reference tracks. Stream them from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Tidal or from your own local storage.

Take full advantage of powerful room correction and simulation software from Sonarworks, Steven Slate and others using our AU plugin hosting. Apply plugins to any of ListenHub’s outputs with your chosen settings automatically applied.

Now, you can have different Sonarworks profiles for different sets of speakers or headphones without having to load profiles each time.

You can use Slate VSX on all your system audio. You’ll soon become more familiar with your headphones, using them for mixing, streaming, and entertainment and the results will translate better than ever before.
