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.

Great product, works well when it does, creates something truly flat. But the systemwide version on macOS 12 doesn’t seem to be zero latency. And it crashes sometimes which is disastrous because of the sudden boost in volume due to the safe headroom option.

Wouldn't be without Sonarworks in the mixing process. The price was discounted a few days after I decided to buy the upgrade which wasn't great.

I am using ID with logic - unfortunately if standing idle for a couple hours ID looses connection has to be restarted and reconfigured in logic X audio. This did not happen with Sonarworks Reference - this occurred after upgrade

Unhappy that I made a purchase and then a sale was introduced two weeks later, and then to be told you only compensate customers who purchase within 7 days before the launch of the sale. I found unacceptable considering I was upgrading after being a long term investor in your product.

I am splitting my review in 2 halves… for one half I give 100% satisfaction for new product purchase and 0% for customer service. I purchased one of Austrian Audio’s latest headphones and reached out multiple times requesting Sonarworks to update its list of calibrations with this headphones and absolutely no luck or responses. Really poor service

I liked sonar works before my update to Windows 11, and as I upgraded my hardware, I also installed windows 11 on my Music production computer. It looks like it doesn't work properly.

Sonarworks looked like a fairly easy process but I went from one side to the other. The measuring app that wouldn't scale right (4K issue?) out of the box so I couldn't measure my room because the buttons were out of context. Next, I got crackles every few seconds, but, luckily, the plugin in Cubase does it's job without crackling. All in all, I think the app user experience should be enhanced by correcting the (presumed) 4K issue and possibly by verifying the sound experience from within the app.

shopping experinece was great

Hello, Shopping experience was good. Still have some questions. I have reference 4 and sound id now. Should I uninstall reference 4? When I use sound id in Ableton on master chanel with my headphones the sound is quite. Basically there Are 3 states: VST is on and correction is enabled - one level of sound, VST is on, correction disabled - another level of loudness, VST is off - another level. Please share the workflow in Ableton. I have M1, will the full support be available after 28 March? Does it mean that it is not make sense to use it now before final support version? Please advice. Thank you.

I want to like it but I’m sadly underwhelmed. I feel like the coloring doesn’t actually do that much. And I tried returning it but no one answered my message.

Reference 4 works well but the ID Reference has significantly more functionality. I can see that but the plug-in and stand alone headphone version crashes my playback every time I try to switch between the various references. I’ve tried everything suggested in the error message to no avail and tried reinstalling. Nothing works.

Overall the product and ease of upgrade was fine. Not entirely sure what has changed within the product other than name and UI

Web portal works fine for shopping. It was challenging to register my original software because I purchased it through Sweetwater, and I had to find an email from 2 years with the registration codes. I'm not sure why Sonarworks doesn't have that information.
