“In my case my older firewire soundcard drivers are not the best anymore, since they stopped updating them. With the older version of Reference 4 I had drop outs when I changed from DAW to a Webbrowser and had to restart the asio drivers. With the new update that magically was fixed. Very stable and runs perfect on my 7 year old pc system.”
“My negative feedback for the upgrade is purely related to the lack of Windows 11 compatibility. Thes severe limitation should have been communicated clearly during the purchase process”
“I like the result of using Sonarworks for speakers and headphones, as it makes my speakers sound better in my acoustically less-than-ideal “home studio”. However, I don’t think the new version sounds any different than the original one (though I may be wrong), and I don’t use the new features, so, for me, the upgrade seemed unnecessary. That said, I don’t regret upgrading because it caused me to re-calibrate my speakers and discover that the resulting correction curves were very close to the original ones; giving me a bit more confidence that the process is addressing real-world acoustic problems, and not just generating random EQ adjustments, LOL.”
“SoundID Reference works and sounds as brilliant as Reference Studio did and gives you some new features at your hand.
The early release versions had some technical problems but now everything is working as expected.
Thanks to the assistant it is easier to set up new devices and profiles.
The extended capabilities for sound tuning enhance sound tweaking to personal preferences.
Missing the numerical entry for parameters, although the interface works comfortable the way it is.
SoundID Reference is a must have.”
“The Plugin works, but the systemwide part never worked as expected. End with SoundID it's getting worse... no configuration is usable
It is just not working... system wide is not doing anything...
What a waste of money...
An I'm very disappointed about the support, there is no possibility to contact anybody, that means if your problem is not covered with the standard topics, you have no chance to get any help.”
