“I am new to using Sonarworks, the SoundID upgrade is useful with profiles to test what a mix would sound like played back on a laptop, smartphone etc... Easy to flick between once you set up profiles and importantly a list of profiles for headphones. (I made some very inexpensive headphones quite usable)”

“I like all the new options to model different reference speakers. That was something I appreciated in earlier versions that got removed. I'm glad to see them back and expanded.”
“I only upgraded as I couldn't use the Reference 4 plugin in Pro Tools. However, I think if you don't need this there isn't really any benefit to upgrading, there's no real difference in the software and there is a lot more issues with it.”
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out!
SoundID Reference is the successor of Reference 4 and offers more functionality and customization options than the previous Reference 4 software.
In addition, if you are using a later M-Series macOS computer, then the SoundID Reference will be compatible with native mode. Reference 4 will not be compatible and the Rosetta environment will be required.
I hope this helps!
