When mixing dialogue audio for video projects, you must start with accurate sound output to create an accurate end result. Because many content creators work in home studios and rooms without acoustic treatment, ARC Studio can help achieve this without the need to modify your space massively.

In this episode, Curtis Judd tests out IK Multimedia's ARC Studio correction kit and examines some of the theories behind software room correction. Have a look.

I had some pretty substantial boominess and muddiness in my room, making it hard to make mixing decisions, especially for the lower frequencies. But ARC Studio clears all that up nicely. So it works really, really well.

Buying an amazing set of reference monitors or speakers isn't an ace in the hole in terms of making great mixes. Because the room in which you use those speakers defines the sound you ultimately hear.

You just run the outputs from your audio interface over into the ARC and then XLR cables from the ARC to your monitors. And that's it. And I'll say this: It works well. The bass response is so much cleaner and easier to make out.
