I haven’t been following it, how is Id reference better (?), than the older version?

There’s the ability to take the correction off of the bottom and or the top and simulations like NS10s…but nothing I use. I just bought because they will continue to update this and not the other. |

There's still some dispute among users as to whether or not SoundID sounds 'different' from Reference 4 - Sonarworks say not, but some users do claim to hear a difference and say SOundID sounds slightly cleaner.

I just checked and the sale applies to the upgrade -- cheap!

I really have not noticed a difference in sound between the two. The reason to upgrade is that they will not be putting out any major updates to version 4. Of course, neither version works in Windows 11 so.....
I still think its a great piece of software and very much needed by me. It's always on. The sale makes it more affordable but it's worth it even at full price (which I paid).

I snagged the SoundID Reference upgrade, from version 4, for about $55 (with the discount). Was well worth it as v4 was not working well with MacOS 11 or 12. The new version works very well!
However, the plugin has some shitty default settings that caused me to lose more hair:
- The plugin volume is set at a level so low that there is no sound.
- The plugin wet/dry mix is set to 100% dry -- so, the calibration is effectively disabled at startup
Anyway, I finally figured it out and it's working fine now. I informed Sonarworks of the problems.
