“The upgrade was a simple process, and SoundID is a very solid incremental improvement over Reference 4. Especially nice are the additional features for shaping the curve to suit different needs. This is useful if I want to change things up a bit for non-critical listening but still keep the generally more neutral profile, especially on a couple of my closed-back headphones, which benefit the most from calibration in the first place.”
“Same amazing calibration for my Beyerdynamics dt 880 pro with a beautiful new interface. Will probably purchase the room simulation option in the future”
“The upgrade doesn't really provide much more functionality and the application appears to use more memory (i have monitored it using 1gb of memory). It should be provided as an unpaid option for people who already purchased reference 4.”
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
Unfortunately, SoundID Reference is a successor to Reference 4 thus a paid upgrade is required. This applies to most of the audio production DAWs and any other music software where the latest upgrade is paid.
If you encounter unusually high CPU usage, please reach out to us by submitting a support request and we'll be happy to help!
Thank you!
