I liked my Reference 4 but im wasn’t so happy to find out that i had to pay for a ”new” application, Sound ID, when i bought a new Mac Studio. It is just an uppgrade that should be free since i bought Reference 4. I didn’t even find a easy way to export my room calibrations from reference 4 to SoundID.

I use the VST in Ableton Live on my Master Bus. Just recently updated to SoundID and am very happy with the update. I like the comparing of different environments added.

Same as above, you need to fix the compatibility with Windows11

The latest version, SoundID, has some fantastic new features and I’m really pleased I upgraded. After struggling with a particular mix for some time after installing the new software and doing a reference on my monitors I managed to nail a perfect mix straight away. This is in a room that is acoustically controlled so the software helps no matter the room you’re working in. As always these days I had some issues with Protools sound cards (HD) but this is an issue with most third party applications and Avid these days. Sonarworks gave me immediate help and I got sorted out. Totally recommended for anyone seriously mixing no matter the quality of their environment. It will find your nulls and peaks and get you a flat response for mixing. The standard headphone algorithms are also very impressive and switching from my monitors to headphones is seamless and translates exactly the same.
