The calibration is really hard to get right. I used a mic stand and did 3 calibrations, all of which sound totally different. I chose the best sounding one but it seems less scientific and more guesswork than I thought.

Hello, Thank you for the review! The calibration can differ between the measurements due to the fact that the microphone could have been positioned slightly higher or lower between the measurements. This can impact the result ever so slightly. Also, increasing or decreasing the input and output levels might also have an impact thus the output level should be set to a conversation level for the most accurate results. If there are any guides or help needed, please reach out to us and we'll be happy to help!

A club speaker profile would be a great addition. Maybe an amusement park profile or Dj PA system.

Hello Rashad, Thank you for the review! As per the Amusement Park or DJ PA system translation check option would be indeed a nice feature. I will pass this feature request further to our product team and we will see what can be done. In addition, if there is anything else we can help you with, please reach out to our support team. We'll be happy to help!

Purchase experience was not easy as should be… I would recommend updating the upgrade software for easier access.

i'm still a bit dissapointed of the lack of transparency when releasing Sound ID as i had just bought a mic and Reference 4, but i made the update and it's ok

SoundID Reference was easy to purchase online and the Support Center was prompt to answer my questions. Information was not easy to find unless you contact the Support Center and an actual person or technician responds. I had to purchase the product first before I could get the information I needed because the Sonarworks website does not provide detailed information.

I've bought full version for monitors and headphones in order to use it with my daw cubase 12. Seems it's a good product and it's really removes additional colors in my dt1770 and Adam a7x, but still I couldn't launch it in my workstation it's keep getting crashed. So I'm really disappointed this moment and believe that next future updates will fix this issue.

I really like the idea, and when it works, it works great! But The first time I start up SoundID every single time i start up the computer I always have to restart at least once before it start working. I would also like to have the "automatic bypass" for the plugin when you bounce in Logic Pro.

They were unwilling to accept a return for a purchase slightly out of the return period, but their products are good.

Shop and support good. Newest product although already on v5.6 somehow worse than before

Honestly I can't see any better performance from my monitoring system using this app. I find out that even whit the most accurate settings mess up the phase of the signal. I've to say that my room is good sounding and the speaker system is quite good. Maybe for those working in bad environments could be a step up... p.s Talking about Pro-Tools: try to inactivate completely the plugin on master bus, instead of put in bypass from the plugin itself...maybe you'll see better what I'm talking about (I'm not using the volume compensation in Sonarworks just to be fair during comparisons)

My shopping experience was pleasant. Everything was easy to find, and the Black Friday deals were pretty good.

I think Sonarworks did a great job of EQ correction, especially their Reference 4 version, but to SoundID, there is a CPU problem that annoyed me very much.

It's a good product. But the ordering process isn't entirely smooth - having to download an installer, then install it, then put in a code, which I needed to get in a specific place because it was an upgrade... I think you could put all that stuff in a single email surely?

Hi, Thanks for your review! Very sorry to hear the that license wasn't delivered right away. There was a temporary issue we encountered during that time and the receiving licenses was delayed for a moment, but the issue has been resolved since then. I hope everything else is working great with the product :) Best regards, Zane

I had one major issue - I was not automatically directed to the US version of the store, which gave no purchase option whatsoever until finding the US specific site.
