The new SoundID is a real upgrade from Reference. And I'm happy that my measurements were working in the new version.

Last but not least you can emulate different spaces, like cars, mobile phones and so on, to judge these different devices, without leaving your working space. I don't want to miss it anymore.

Reference4からSoundID Referenceにアップグレードしました。 EditionはSpeaker and Headphoneです。 この商品を見ている方はReference3か4をお持ちだと思いますので、Referenceの良さは体験されているかと思います。 計測用のマイクはReference4のものですが、マイクに記載されているIDを入力すれば使用できました。 Reference4に比べて計測を行った際に結果として表示されるスピーカ同士の距離測定の誤差が減ったと感じます。 また、CustomTargetの実装によって、周波数特性をフラットにするだけではなく、自分好みの周波数特性に変更することができるようになりました。 また、周波数特性を変更できるため深夜は低音をカットするなどがやりやすく、日本の住宅事情的にはありがたいです。 音楽制作上、過度な低域カットはリファレンスとしては良くないかもしれませんが、スタンドアロンでも動作しますので、音楽鑑賞やYouTube、Netflixを見る際にも活躍してくれます。 スピーカーのキャリブレーションには周波数特性だけではなく、左右の個体差による音量の差等による定位感のズレを修正するだけにも使えます。 そのため音楽制作だけではなく音楽鑑賞・映画鑑賞時にも常時使用しています。

Decided to upgrade from Reference 4 to soundID. since Reference 4's EOL was announced. SoundID still unstable and higher latencies than before also buffer that worked before without a problem now brings crackles and/or stops to the playback engine.

It's very buggy. It becomes garbled and distorted every half hour or so, and I have to quit and restart the program to make it work again. They released it without testing it enough.
