Sonarworks, the company behind precision audio software used by Grammy Award–winning engineers and recording artists like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Rihanna, Adele, Coldplay, and Kanye West-- announced today its 5.1.0 update for SoundID Reference (the next-generation version of Reference 4).

The 5.1.0 update enables users of SoundID Reference to export presets to MERGING+ANUBIS as part of the newly announced Sonarworks partnership with Merging Technologies.
