# Unboom
> Your monitors aren't boomy. Your room is. Unboom finds the bass frequency your room exaggerates and gently turns just that part down on your Mac.
Unboom is a macOS app (macOS 14.2 or later) for people with studio monitors in untreated rooms. It finds the bass note the room exaggerates, by microphone scan or by ear, and cuts just that peak for all Mac audio on the calibrated speakers. It never boosts. It is a free download on the Mac App Store with a 14-day free trial and a one-time unlock.
## Key facts
- Platform: macOS 14.2 or later. Corrects all Mac audio on the calibrated speakers, and in DAWs through an Audio Unit plug-in. Headphones are left alone.
- Price: free download, 14-day free trial, then a one-time lifetime unlock. The current launch price is $19.99; the regular price is $29.99. Room scans are always free.
- Safety: cuts peaks only, never boosts. Test tones are quiet and fade. Stopping or quitting restores normal audio.
- Privacy: no data collected. Measurements and audio are processed in memory, never saved or sent.
- Not an EQ, REW replacement, or headphone correction tool. It complements acoustic treatment.
- Support: support@unboom.app
## FAQ
- Do I need a measurement microphone? No. Your Mac’s microphone works, or you can find the boom by ear.
- Will it change how my monitors sound? Only where your room booms. It turns down a narrow slice of bass, and your mids and highs are never touched.
- Which DAWs does the plug-in work in? Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage, Ableton Live, FL Studio, REAPER, and LUNA. Other DAWs, like Pro Tools, play without correction, so they’re never delayed.
- Does the plug-in affect my exports? Yes, when it’s on your master track, so bypass it before you export or mix on headphones. In REAPER it goes in Monitoring FX, which exports skip.
- Does it replace acoustic treatment? No. Bass traps still help. Unboom tames the boom that’s left.
- Does it work with Bluetooth speakers? Yes, but a cable gives the most reliable result.
- What happens after the trial? Scans stay free. Correction, in your apps and your DAW, needs the one-time unlock.

## Blog
- [Can you mix in an untreated room?](https://unboom.app/blog/mixing-in-an-untreated-room): Yes. Most home studios are untreated. Set up carefully, check your mixes on other speakers, and deal with the bass your room exaggerates.
- [Rear-ported monitors near a wall](https://unboom.app/blog/rear-ported-monitors-near-a-wall): Monitors with a hole in the back get extra bass when they sit close to a wall. Give them space, use the back-panel switch, and plug the port if you must.
- [Test your room's bass without a measurement mic](https://unboom.app/blog/test-room-bass-without-a-measurement-mic): You don't need special gear to find your room's boom. A slow bass sweep and your ears are enough, and your Mac's microphone can help.
- [Why do my studio monitors sound boomy?](https://unboom.app/blog/studio-monitors-sound-boomy): Boomy monitors are almost always a boomy room. A few bass notes pile up where you sit. Check placement first, then find and turn down the note that's left.
- [Your mix sounds bad in the car? Check your room first](https://unboom.app/blog/mix-sounds-bad-in-the-car): When a mix is boomy or thin in the car but fine at home, your room is often hiding a bass note from you. Here's how to tell and what to do.
- [Why does my room sound boomy?](https://unboom.app/blog/why-your-room-booms): Your room makes a few bass notes louder where you sit. Your speakers are fine. Rooms do this to low notes, and small rooms do it the most.
- [Does moving your monitors fix boomy bass?](https://unboom.app/blog/moving-studio-monitors): Moving your monitors or your chair changes which bass notes boom, but it rarely removes the boom. Start with placement, then deal with the note that's left.
