Completed

Hi all, 

On February 8, 2023, we have released a new SoundID Reference software update (v5.7.0.85), here's what's included:

SoundID Reference

  • Reworked the Custom Target mode preset management mechanism. Custom Target presets are now shared between the SoundID Reference application and plugin instances, and can be backed up or shared. More information here
  • Translation Check now allows loading any headphone profile to get a rough sense of how audio might sound like on various devices. Note that this only simulates the frequency response. More information here
  • Translation Check panel design updated
  • Listening Spot correction now enabled by default when a new room calibration profile is loaded
  • Fixed an infinite loading screen for some new users that previously required application restart
  • Implemented a quicker update process - when a newer version is available, the software will check if an installer is present on the device. If so, the software will launch the installer. Note that for this to work an updated version of the installer must have been used first
  • When exporting a preset to an external device, software now remembers the most recent export destination folder selected by the user
  • "Recent calibration profiles” section now shows room calibration profiles recently created with SoundID Reference Measure
  • Fixed an issue of Limit settings not saved during switching presets
  • Fixed an issue of “Launch on startup” not working for some users
  • Added attribution to open-source libraries used in software products. These can be found through the “License information” menu
  • [macOS] Fixed an issue that prevented launching the application from User Account web interface for some users
  • Fixed an issue of the device menu appearing next to the wrong device during some scenarios
  • Fixed some cases of Safe Headroom being applied but not visualized
  • [Windows] Fixed some cases of GUI becoming unresponsive after logging out of the application
  • [macOS] Fixed crashes for some users when clicking the “Play a test tone” button
  • Fixed an issue of redundant internal code appearing at the end of every average headphone calibration profile
  • Fixed a number of issues that occurred if a user deleted all EQ filters in Custom Target mode, like GUI crash or unresponsive features
  • Fixed some onboarding pop-ups that could be misplaced in specific scenarios

SoundID Reference plugin

  • Reworked the Custom Target mode preset management mechanism. Custom Target presets are now shared between the SoundID Reference application and plugin instances, and can be backed up or shared. More information here
  • Translation Check now allows loading any headphone profile to get a rough sense of how audio might sound like on various devices. Note that this only simulates the frequency response. More information here
  • Translation Check panel design updated
  • Listening Spot correction now enabled by default when a new room calibration profile is loaded
  • “Recent calibration profiles” section now shows room calibration profiles recently created with SoundID Reference Measure
  • Fixed an issue that prevented incremental scrolling for the gain slider. Using the scroll wheel now moves the slider by 0.1 dB at a time
  • Implemented a quicker update process - when a newer version is available, the software will check if an installer is present on the device. If so, the software will launch the installer. Note that for this to work an updated version of the installer must have been used first
  • Fixed an issue of plugin elements overlapping each other if the plugin host window is resized

SoundID Reference Measure

  • Implemented an updated phase alignment algorithm
  • [macOS] Fixed an issue of software generating debug logs in the wrong folders 
  • [Windows] Added some default entries to the ASIO device blacklist, to prevent crashes when trying to load incompatible drivers
  • Fixed an issue of being able to proceed despite a “Volume mismatch detected” error

Happy mixing! 

Best regards, Zane from Sonarworks Support
