“Well it does what you might expect but I found it not as intuitive when it comes to exporting profiles. There are these ... that you have to click on and that was not obvious. Then uploading to my Adam speakers was not obvious either - not a sonarworks issue but perhaps collaborating with the Adam software delvopers could make the whole experience better. I ended up writing a cheat sheet for myself so that I'd remember the next time I go through the process. I did have a trial version before I purchased the license. I got bit with the latest rev not working with my UA Apollo. I searched and found a page that sonarworks wrote for how to properly remove their software and plugins. It was a clumsy process but at least it was documented. Then they tell you to go back to an earlier rev of their software and the links they gave did not work. Once more pass of cleaning their stuff off my mac and then a fresh download, I got it to work. However, it no longer recocognized profiles I had previously created. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time being an IT Tech. I spent my career in high tech and I'll say we have not come a long way but at least they are trying.”
Hello,
Thank you for the review!
As per the UAD device issue, we are aware of this, and version 5.6. of our software should be working as expected. We are doing our best to address the issue in a timely manner.
It would be best if you could reach out to us via our support center directly to understand which of the download links did not work as expected. We'll be happy to help!
“Since I started my education I purchased Sonarworks with a student discount, I had some problems with the measuring of my monitors because my sounddrive was in a blocklist. But I couldnt figure out the problem. With a lot of communication with Sonarworks (Thank you so much Zane) I really got a great service from Sonarworks. With a teamview session and a lot of contact trough the service support I got everything working. Love the pluggin so much that I bought the full version because I can use the plugin on several devices. With the student discount you can only use it on 1 device. I love Sonarworks and especially the service support and the way they take the time to really help you when you get stuck in the progress.
After the problem was fixed within 20 minutes I measured my monitors and everything is working great since then. Thank you so much guys for your time and patience and help me solve the problem I had. I really loved it.”
“The program is a little difficult tro navigate/understand for a beginner, but as soon as I got it going, it worked smooth and the sound is just out of this world now. I have never experienced such quality sounds and frequency spectrums that this provides. Its a must add to any music lover, sound engineer, recorder and/or producer.”
“Hi there,
little home producers (like me) maybe don’t afford big investments in room characteristics.
Sonarworks made it possible to produce on my monitors, before i just couldn’t trust my decisions.
So in every studio situation with good room characteristics or not, it takes the best out of it!
It’s like buying monitors.. you need it.
Best regards,
Niklas”
