What is SoundID Reference and how it works?

SoundID Reference (formerly known as Sonarworks Reference 4) software calibrates your speakers and studio headphones, so you mix with full confidence in sound. Used and loved by over 140,000 studios worldwide.

Working with calibrated speakers and headphones significantly speeds up your workflow - you’ll hear exactly what’s happening in your mix, will make faster mixing decisions, and will ensure your music sounds great on phones, laptops, earbuds, or wherever else it's played. Moreover, it enables you to work more efficiently over distance and across different projects - working on the same reference sound with artists, bands and other studios will ensure you all hear the same thing - meaning you will get only relevant mix notes and with that will get to the final result faster.

Is it normal to feel that you didn't and/or cut enough in certain areas after you listen to your mix without SoundID? Let's say that you're only using SoundID as an insert plugin (not in your whole system) and you're using a HD 650 and because you're using SoundID the HD 650 frequency response is now flat. After you export your mix and listen to it without the frequency correction done by SoundID, is it normal to feel that you didn't cut and/or boost enough in any giving frequency range? Or is that sensation attributed to the fact that you're being fooled by the HD 650 natural frequency response since SoundID is not in use after exporting your mix?
