Easy upgrade to the new version. Great new features, in particular the different models for listening environments. Worth the money.

I think the upgrade should be free of charge since I recently bought Reference 4 and you're gonna stop to support Reference 4...

I didn't find it useful to have an EQ in the plugin and I wouldn't use it. I would like to be able to use a keyboard shortcut system for when I change between my two headphones or with my monitoring. Thank sonarworks

Gracias por mejorar la compatibilidad con nuevos procesadores Apple. Me permito poner aquí algunas recomendaciones para el SoundID. 1) Me encantaría que incluyeran su propio emulador de sala (que se pueda activar y desactivar) pues lo considero indispensable para tomar mejores decisiones especialmente en lo que respecta a profundidad en toda la mezcla y también sustain en el low end. He probado varios (objetiva y subjetivamente) y podría aportar. 2) Sería sumamente útil poder generar curvas de eq totalmente custom para auriculares que no están en sus listados (in-ear por ejemplo). 3) Proporcionar al usuario información amplia sobre la curva target que aplican. Esto sería muy útil para lograr los mejores resultados con el eq custom que sugiero en el punto anterior, y por varias razones mas. 4) Sería muy interesante probar una "corrección dinámica", con todo lo que ello implica. Cuando hago escucha recreativa o analizo referencias suelo desactivar el plugin porque me aburre lo aplastado que suena todo debido a la eq estática

I use it because I completely trast Sound ID both on my headphones and monitors. It has tuned my room and my ears.

Easy process to upgrade but the price is steep. Exported audio does not null test between the two. I would advise recalibrating. Also, check that the sound you can hear through your monitors when using the software sounds out of phase at all at any point across the spectrum, as you'll need to correct this before being able to mix effectively.

Definitely flattened the room. Didn't go 5 star because there is a huge audio delay compared to the DAW display (SW is on the audio output for the full system)
