“SoundID is a remarkably well-thought out software. The process of measuring my room was easy, even the first time I did it. No doubt, my mixes and compositions have benefitted madly. I've already pestered a number of my audio engineer buddies to get it.”
“I use Sonarworks in my treated room and it brings the additional percentage of what I needed to get a better and fast outcome in my mixes. :)
It's super easy to use, the whole setup process is straightforward and after that, you can enjoy the new listening experience.
I love it also on headphones. And keep in mind, the Mix knob is your friend, sometimes it doesn't need to correct on 100%, let the ears decide.”
“Im pretty happy with the app. It would be better if you could optimize the cpu usage. In my system it uses a bit more resource/cpu than systemwide/reference 4.”
“This software has totally changed my mixing. Like many home studios, I’m in an imperfect room. This allows me to check mixes on speakers and different headphones and have much better translation.”
“I use SoundID 5 for mixing in my DAW, and it's worked as it should, about the EQ correction part. But there is a big issue with CPU usage, it will cause CPU spikes in several minutes. It seems to switch to Reference 4 VST2 version never triggers this kind of problem, but SoundID 5 VST3 version will. I hope it gets fixed ASAP because I can't even use it.”
Hi, thanks for your review, we really appreciate!
I'm very sorry to hear you are encountering some issues with the CPU spiking while using the DAW plugin. We are aware of some issues with the CPU usage while running the plugin, more details and workaround suggestions can be found here: https://www.sonarworks.com/support/soundid-reference/360003040100-Troubleshooting/3600[…]086994-High-CPU-load-with-SoundID-Reference-plugin-on-Intel
I will reach out to you privately to gather some more information on your environment, so we can look further into this.
Best regards,
Zane
“After trial period, I bought a full licence because it was the right choice to finish my home studio. I needed to optimize my equipment (Adam T7V) and my acoustic treated room. Now that’s as good as it gets”
