The Control Room Feature in Cubase Pro allows you to set up various speaker or headphone outputs for quick switching and listening comparisons. What makes this functionality even more useful is that each output scenario can have its own effects chain independent of each other.
Therefore, you could instantiate a Reference 4 plugin in each chain with the appropriate setting without affecting your bounced track. This is perhaps the easiest solution of all that has been discussed thus far. Cubase has essentially built-in the routing solution via its admittedly awesome Control Room feature.
Oops...! I've been a Cubase user for several years but I didn't know this about using Ref 4 (or other plugins) as inserts in the Control Room. Makes it really easy to use the different monitor/headphone configurations! Thank you for this great advice Matiss, you just made my mixing life a lot easier! :)
Cheers,

This is another great reason for sticking with Cubase and resisting the temptation to switch to another DAW. Frankly, I was always concerned with the Sonarworks plugin sitting in the output channel. I just know I would be very annoyed every time I'd mix down without disabling it. And, knowing me, I'd forget to enable it!! Well, done Steinberg. Well done, Sonarworks.
