Of course, if you are currently not using systemwide or if you have no problems with it, you may not be able to make much of a comparison. I don't know how it can be more stable. It's never crashed on me or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found Systemwide doesn't like ASIO buffer size changes very much with my RME UCX (nor with my earlier Scarlett 2i2). At best, it requires a restart of the audio engine, at worst, Systemwide crashes, but works fine after relaunch. BTW, Sonarworks lowered the upgrade prices yesterday. For Europe, it was 119€ from Reference 4 Studio to corresponding SoundID Reference, now it's 89€. Still a bit steep, but I (of course) fell for it and have now been playing with the new version a bit. The new translation checker seems interesting, don't know if it's worth the price, but it's nice. Overall, the GUI is better looking now, and resizable. Systemwide hasn't given me any s*it since last night. ? Haven't created a new calibration yet for my Genelecs, but probably will just to see, if there's anything new there as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Arwood Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I’m doing the demo now. Why is there a 8.4 db reduction in volume on the plug-in?! I also can’t get cakewalk to load because system version takes over the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also can’t get cakewalk to load because system version takes over the drivers. have you got safe headroom enabled? If so this is most likely the reason for the drop in level The system version uses windows drivers as opposed to ASIO I have no issue with mine so perhaps you are using windows audio with CbB and this is the cause this may also help https://www.sonarworks.com/soundid-reference/resources Edited March 15, 2021 by Hatstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at least for my ATH-50X the curves are different. But the overall effect is pretty close to be honest. I do like Morphit a lot though. It's ability to emulate different speaker systems is very nice and it's not very expensive CPU (or money) wise. Sonarworks replaced Morphit for me mainly because I also got the mic and added the room monitor option (though I haven't upgraded yet and I never use Systemworks). If your headphones are supported though I think either one can get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So did anyone get this and actually have systemwide allow you to open a headphone profile? I still can't get it to work. Sent a support ticket in last week but I haven't heard back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin H Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I’m using Senheiser HD 650 default profile. It was not intuitive...took a few clicks. I was also able to load my reference 4 custom monitor profiles and can now switch between them. If I recall I had to repeat sequence for plug-in and separately systemwide. When I’m by my computer later will try to recreate steps. I’m on MAC by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Kevin mentioned, I imported the speaker profile from ref4 directory but the headphone profiles I picked up from 5. I am assuming you have tried a reinstall of 5? I know the first time I installed I hit an issue so reinstalled and all was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have just reinstalled to start with. THANKS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
