First of all, my thoughts on Reference 4 Plug-In (Cubase 9 Pro). It's amazing. I'm using Sennheiser HD650 to check my mixes (I mix on Yamaha HS8). It was really hard to judge about the low end before I started to use Reference 4 calibration (average curve, linear phase). Now it's much easier to judge the amount of low end and high end cleaned up quite a bit. Amazing product. Worth every euro. Systemwide 4 app was fixed and now it's absolutely amazing (Systemwide 3 was very buggy on Win10). No lags, no clicks and pops. Totally recommend!

I bought the Sonarworks reference bundle during Black Friday shopping. The package came in timely and intact. No issues with installing the software and calibrating my A7Vs. After calibration, I was able to promptly get back to what I love...making music knowing the sound will be close to a true tone. A few weeks later, all of a sudden, I was getting calls from producers wanting my hot hot hot mixes. I immediately started planning my DJ route from Ibiza to Las Vegas knowing these bangers would sound fire and would get the people going. I woke up one morning in a hotel room like a scene from The Hangover...no idea how I got there or what I did the night before. But, I do remember that my finely mixed songs were superbly blasting out those club speakers, allowing hips to gyrate and heads to bump. People cheered my name and I was carried away into the night. Wow, thank you for this journey Sonarworks. It would not have been possible without you. Cheers Resh

Clear readable website, you can find all the information. The long demo time allows you to familiarize yourself with the software. Well-functioning online store. I like Sonarworks newsletter - lots of free knowledge about recording and mixing music. And even free informative ebooks are available.

Navigating the Sonarworks website was smoother than my mixes ever were. SoundID Reference is like having a mini acoustics wizard in your computer - it's made my home studio sound like a pro setup. And when I had a question, the Support Centre was like talking to a real person (gasp!). 10/10 would recommend.

Superb software that makes you trust your speakers in the room youbare mixing in. My mixes sure improved after doing the SoundID setup. A pleasure to work with.

Due to the shape and size of my home studio I have no option but to have my main mixing speakers far too close to a rear wall which has been giving them a false bass response around the 100Hz mark. Sonarworks not only flattened out this peak but almost magically seemed to make the speakers ‘disappear’ leaving me with a perfectly flat reference eq and razor sharp imaging across the whole spectrum. The consistency between my Adam mixing speakers, my Beyer headphones and the PMCs I use in a different room for mastering is remarkable. I have worked professionally in film and theatre sound for almost forty years and am Emeritus Professor of Sound at the Universoty of London’s Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sonarworks to anyone, whether in a home or professional studio. I would add that the support centre is very responsive. I had a minor issue downloading an update which was solved, and the online resources helped with a couple of calibration questions. My one piece of feedback is not to use subjective terms like ‘normal conversation level’ in the set up guide. I think a lot of users will have an SPL meter to hand so the level setting could be done more precisely.

Amazing software. I can't believe how well my mixes translate from the same headphone and speakers I have always owned. Tried the competitors but they don't work, and sonarworks just works so well. Very prompt and courteous service too meaning an exceptional experience from purchase to use. Thank you.

I didn't know about SonarWorks until a mentor of mine talked about how, next to added acoustic treatment to your studio, SonarWorks was the most dramatic improvement you can make to your studio for accuracy. Beyond the technical wizardry that makes SoundID work, I was also delighted by the extremely intuitive and user-friendly UI and step-by-step process that made calibrations easy (and even fun). Thanks SonarWorks for creating this fantastic tool!

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.

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 was forced to upgrade to Sound ID because reference 4 stopped working on my system. I didn’t want to buy sound ID because I didn’t need any of the new features. Sound ID removes itself from my audio devices every time the computer sleeps. The tech said that’s just the way it is and I have to live with it. Pretty annoyed by the whole situation as I need this software for my job.

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

The concept here is brilliant. Game changing possibly. But unfortunatly it has serious draw backs. In the system wide set up (which is the most desirable application for it) It has constant audio glitches and drop outs which is very off putting and frankly embarrassing if i have a paying client in the studio. I have tried the suggested fixes with no success. it seems this is a known problem with out a fix that i can find. In addition the latency it put on to recording is an unacceptable and unusable amount. The latency whilst trying to record midi part makes the instrument unplayable. and i have to quite the sonarworks system wide application to record anything. Again i have tried suggested fixes with no success. A brilliant idea poorly executed.
