“Upgrading to SoundID Reference for Headphones was seamless and highly rewarding. The enhanced features offer superior accuracy and reliability in audio calibration. The shopping and download process was straightforward, with clear instructions and helpful comparisons. The new interface and customization options are impressive. Overall, a highly recommended upgrade for better audio performance.”
“the headphone version is also very useful and love all of the different headphones presets. I upgraded this mainly because I needed to upgrade the speaker version.”
“The reason I had to upgrade from Reference 4 to SoundID is because it was no longer working on my macOS. For my workflow, it works just as well as the previous version.
One thing that would make it a valuable upgrade would be if the Virtual Monitoring add-on was included with the main software, or at least one studio room.”
“I have upgraded my Reference 4 to the new Sound ID Reference and Virtual Monitoring. It makes a difference, sounds realy well.
Virtual Monitoring is also very useful to check your mix in different environments, like cars, laptos, phones, and trhee sizes of speakers.”
“I have been a Sonarworks fan since Reference 4 when I bought it around 2018/2019. The plugin was a game changer and “aha” moment to me in understanding mixing music and how listening sources apply cuts and boosts, and how to consider it.
I was hesitant to upgrade to SoundID, only because I didn’t think I needed it, but after exploring only for a few minutes there is so many more options, presets and potential built right in. Not to mention all the add-ons including AI!
I can’t wait to explore more when I have time to jump into some projects. Thank you Sonarworks! I use Reference 4 with my Audio Technica M50X and my Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pros, and it’s amazing!”
“Sonarworks is a good way to get a neutral sound in your headphones to enable better mixing decisions. It makes a real difference. I shall save up for a pair of their pre-calibrated headphones.”
