Great new functions with more possibilities to manipulate the curve, absolutely worth upgrading!

I like the application, as I have the opportunity to tweak and to tune in different modes (e.g. car, laptop) that simulates the hearing for such sound systems. That makes it absolutely easy to check whether my mix is balanced in both headphones and monitor speakers.

The upgrade for me was flawless. You just have to remember to disable Reference from launching on startup.

Good product, but This is what the problem is and your Team at Sonarworks can fix this to make your product better. Problem 1. Once the Calibration of the monitor and room correction has been completed and activated with the newly made calibration preset, The user should be able to use the calibration method once again to calibrate the effectiveness of the reference EQ that is being applied. ei. Layer one = Calibrated Speaker EQ Curve. Layer two = Re- Calibration using a new EQ Curve in addition to the Calibration Curve already applied. This is a TWO LAYER Calibration System, that corrects the anomalies of the first calculation in the room. More Efficient room correction. Thanks, Sonar Works Team.

Hi, Thanks for your review and for sharing your feedback! We've received somewhat similar requests regarding some further analysis feature that would help address room problems based on the measurements performed. Thanks for sharing your idea! Best regards, Zane

Overall, my mixes and masters translate to different playback devices better by using Sonarworks sound correction. I also have less ear fatigue.

I've used Reference 4 so far. To be honest, I didn't feel the need to upgrade to Sound ID, so I only used the existing version. However, I upgraded it because I had a big discount on Black Friday, and I regretted not upgrading it until now. EQ customizable targets are extremely flexible and useful. Transition checks are also very useful, especially I like the car audio option. If you are considering upgrading from reference4, I can confidently recommend it.
