System wide does not work half of the time... Need to manual switch (sys prefs) from UAD to reference a few times before it "sticks" If I start studio one it stops working completely, have to use the plugin version inside Studio One

Reference 4 was all that I needed.

So far, it's been a disaster. 8 days ago I bought the upgrade, went to install it, and it errored and failed. I uninstalled Reference 4 thinking that might help, no dice. Reached out to support, waited a couple days, and got a response asking for logs. I sent the logs. Waited a couple more days and got a response that they'd received the logs. Waited 4 more days and received an email asking for different log files. And so, we wait...

I asked for an additional headphone profile twice (one recently). Never heard back. Bit disappointing.

I don't notice much/any functionality difference between reference 4 studio and SoundID reference. What I did notice is I was kinda forced to upgrade to get rid of an issue with Safari browsers causing stuttering audio when Reference 4 was running. Reference 4 studio was running perfectly and I had no reason to need to upgrade. But so be it, I guess. Unfortunate.

It was the first absolutely seamless upgrade - as in, I didn't have to find my settings again. Love the new features

I purchased an upgrade, but the code doesn't work. No response from customer service after 6 days.
