The reference speaker emulations are the most useful part of the upgrade. The software has some bugs that need ironing out.

I'm very pleased with my upgrade from Reference 4. Calibration is easy (takes some time, though), and the sound is stellar. I love to use the generic headphone corrections for casual listening as well. The upgrade process was a bit of a pain, however. I'm not sure if it was because I'm using Safari on a Mac or what, but I would get stuck at the point where the website is supposed to launch the app. I think I ended up activating it on my Windows computer, which worked just fine. But now that everything is working, I'm loving it!

Reference 4 has been a staple in my studio since it was released. I won't mix without it! There is no magic bullet, but with the new Sound ID, more tools than ever are in my hands to check my mixes in a variety of spaces and I can be confident that what I am hearing is accurate.

I always had glitches and sample rate related problems, now all the bugs are solved, and it is always working in the background. I'm really happy that I decided to update, it's worth every cent.

The new preset is way easier to use, and the new simulations are very useful. The vst3 makes all the difference.
