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.

Purchase was easy, had a slight issue with the upgrade. Thanks fully the support desk resolved the issue very quickly. Happy with the new product seems much more responsive than the predecessor. The only gripe is that on every boot I constantly get a notification on my Mac.

I don't know what it's like compared to the old version in my DAW.

Reference 4 is more than good enough. Only cause i was not sure it would continue to be compatible with the latest mac OS did I updated. More about investment for the future of its compatibility with my system: I believe Sound ID will simply replace Reference 4 in the future, so the latest one might not be compatible later on

While I am not thrilled with the company at all and wish there were another option, upgrading to SoundID does make a significant difference. It is a much better program.

It is really a quality change, faster ui, more customization for balancing how you like it, and works well even on older Mac systems like Mojave.

My mixes drastically improved when I started using Reference. I wish I'd gotten this years ago. If you're not able to treat your room or if headphone mixing is your only way to mix... this is a MUST-HAVE! The pop-up that tells you that Reference wasn't bypassed while bouncing... genius!
