SoundID Reference log files

If you encounter a technical issue while using SoundID Reference and believe that it is caused by the software itself, you are encouraged to contact our Customer Support team and provide the details. Unless the bug is clearly reproducible on any computer, our developers will need to read the software log files generated on your computer. To speed up the resolution time, please collect and attach the log files when submitting a support request.

Log files are generated automatically, and are grouped by each software session separately - a new log subfolder is generated whenever you launch the SoundID Reference app, plugin, or speaker measurement software).

You can also navigate to this directory in Finder manually. N.B. Users/Library is a hidden location on Mac by default - to access it manually, you will need to allow Finder to show hidden files:
