“I've been struggling with low end in my mixes and decided to try Sonarworks. After measuring my speakers and setting up my headphone profile, my mixes are 100% better and translate well across other listening platforms! Using Sonarworks has made a HUGE difference in being able to hear my speakers accurately when mixing! I can trust the low end I'm hearing is correct, there is more clarity in the sound and greater depth and separation in the stereo field. I highly recommend!”
“Appears to work exactly as promised. I'm very happy with this purchase.
One thing: It was necessary for me to set the speaker output level significantly louder than 'conversation level' in order to avoid an excessive noise warning from the software.”
“To be honest, I had been waiting for this kind of product to become available. It's one thing to apply acoustic treatment to your music creation space, and another to turn it into an acoustic reference environment that you can objectively rely on. Two weeks in, I wouldn't want to work without it, and I have already recommended it to other colleagues in the industry.”
“As audio engineer and music producer, a reliable monitoring is the key to know what's going on. Was looking for a calibration software and got SoundID Reference after trying some of them. Why? Because it does it's job, it's easy to use and they're there when you request some help or have questions about it. That's the way I like things.”
“My experience setting up the software and measuring my room was pretty smooth, however it took me a while to figure out that I had direct monitoring on on my audio interface (only configurable in software and not on my interface, the Universal Audio Apollo Twin MKII) which interfered with the setup. I read the note in the setup screen about this, but didn't fully understand it until I had issues with feedback while doing the initial tests with the measurement microphone. I would recommend that the software be able to detect this feedback and provide more information on how to disable direct monitoring. Once I got past this after Googling, everything worked great.
I actually did an IG live of the entire setup process and posted an edited version on YouTube and my Instagram and my audience found it helpful and interesting. One of my music artist friends reached out after seeing my content and I believe ended up purchasing SoundID Reference + microphone as a result.

“It really is as good as people say. It fixed so much innacuracy in my studio monitors even in my less than ideal room. It's also fantastic for headphones. The setup process was well though out and easy to follow. SoundID is a game changer and I simply can't work without it anymore.”
