Sonarworks SoundID Reference on M1

[eelpout]

Anyone get this to work on an M1 (I just received my 14" MacBook Pro)? While it runs for me, the actual calibration profiles don't do anything. I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling and see if that fixes it. The plugin never runs under my DAWs either. Bother.

All worked fine on my old Intel MBP. To be fair, Sonarworks at this point doesn't guarantee it'll work. :/

Edit: fixed it by throwing all associated files away, including the application support folder in the Library and reinstalling. No shock there.

Had to do the same. Still not stoked by the company not having released a M1 version yet...

Thanks for the update. Did you have to re-calibrate after? Just went through the whole setup, and calibration worked in the app, but not in my DAW. Any tips appreciated.

I believe you have to load the calibration profile manually in the plugin. Export/Save it form the main app, then open it in the plugin.

At least thats what I had to do if I remember correctly.

Thank you, matthewadams!

It seems to be working okay on new M1max Mac w/Monterey (although not officially supported yet). I went back into DAW with non-exhausted ears, checked the plug in and there was my speaker profile. I checked it on a finished mix, so subtle diff, but will check against other work. Of course I will proceed with caution til it is officially supported.

The Sonarworks Measure app worked well, calibrating my speakers. (I’ll revisit after software update.)
