Think what You wants, but being up to date is very important for me. Reference 3, 4 passed by. Now it's time to go next level.

I really enjoy the system wide possibility and with the upgrade the algoritm works even better now. I achieved flat curve with the latest upgrade.

I gave the software only three stars and didn't recommend the upgrade mainly due to the measurement program. While it was an easy enough process in Reference 4, it seems SoundID doesn't like my room much, and have quite a few problems to get the measurements done. The software itself was somewhat buggy as well. Having said said that, the main program seems to work well in both plugin and standalone modes with Windows 10. It seems to me audio sounds now a little bit clearer too, although I'm not entirely sure. Sometimes I get some audio glitches if I use a web browser while my DAW is open, but there are no problems if I stick to my DAW. If Sonarworks manages to solve this minor but slightly annoying issues I would recommend the upgrade without doubt.

The upgrade is useful because you can now modify the shape of the correction.

Turing it on and off is nuts. The difference is pretty huge in my system and I have nice Yamaha monitors. It focuses the sound. It’s truly remarkable how much more confidence I have in my mixes.

New Headphone Profiles and quite a good offer for the upgrade let me hit the button. Don‘t regret, quality as used to and a good experience.

I was lucky to get this upgrade on sale but I find the pricing of the upgrade a little steep after having already purchased the Sonarworks Reference software. The upgrade itself went very smooth and the new software works as expected. The new target modes and being able to set up different presets per output pair are really nice features!
