“I have a pair of focal twin B speakers. I paid a lot of money for them and they are pretty dam good. Problem was that I actually never heard them because my room was so bad. When I did my solar works calibration I heard my speakers for the first time. I almost cried. You can also calibrate your headphones so you get the absolute flattest response from them. Incredible. You even get a list of iconic reference speakers that you can listen through as well. A great touch when you’re mixing and mastering”
“As I stated earlier, I was a bit hesitant about purchasing due to the fact that I didn't know if it would greatly improve my studio sound quality. Boy I was wrong. The room I currently produce music in is a poorly treated, tall ceilinged, HORRIBLE place for accurate sound playback. I've produced music in that room for almost 6 years so my ears a very trained to know how music sounds in that room. Only after using SoundID Reference for Speakers & Headphones, did I realize how much i've been lied to for those six years. At first, I thought it didn't work. The sound coming from my speakers and sub was completly different than I've heard it previously. It was level, balanced, clear. My horrible room which reflected a horrible sound suddenly became clear. Now, I wasn't fully convinced. Only once l I began working on a new song did I finally notice the incredible improvements it made to my production workflow. Problems that I've previously never been able to work around had disapeared. This product 100% improved my sound quality and abilty to hear a balanced mix. I would reccommend this product ten fold.”
“It's a bit longer than expected to get set up, but soooo worth it. And the onscreen instructions are intuitive and simple to follow. Does what's advertised, and provides me more confidence when mixing.”
“when playing songs on apple music sometimes the music is a little crash, and when using logic pro to record sound and guitar, the guitar sound becomes delayed when using the soundID reference, so I have to change the input again. I hope in the next update this can be fixed. Thank you…..”
“This app worked great to compensate for the unnecessary bass response in my room. Setup was simple and easy, and I was surprised at how much more clarity I could hear through my monitors afterwards.”
“When it works, SoundID Reference is great! It improved the response of my large (rather empty) room. In particular it smoothed out a peak around 100Hz and it also brought up the high ends where my studio monitors started to roll off. That said, the software application is still very buggy. I am on Windows 10 and use an RME Babyface. I like the Windows APO insert but it often goofs up when I switch applications, switch channels on my device, or try to change buffer length / whatever settings. I really hope these get worked out in the near future.”
Hello Michael,
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating and feedback with us. We'll continue working on improvements to make the software more stable in near future.
“Installing SoundID and using it was straightforward. The correction to my room that Sonarworks is a big leap forward in having better mixes that translate well everywhere. I like the option to apply the correction as a plugin (in my DAW) and also as a virtual output so I can use it for anything that can be played on my PC!”
