Good feelings

I like both plugins very much!
At current there's nothing more to say ;-)

Invaluable

Reference is a straight to the point, genius plugin for getting a sense of how working mixes match up to proven pieces of music. Love how dynamic the looping feature is and being able to save loop points in a preset and switch between references with instant sonic [and visual] feedback is something I wish I had when I started making music. An A+, well though out resource that can be used during the mix or master.

Great plugin

I have been using ADPTR AUDIO Metric AB for a while, but it's a bit overwhelming and give me too much information. Reference 2 is more perfect for my needs and much easier to use.

Very helpful plugin

I like being able to isolate ranges within the audio spectrum. The only thing missing is the ability to do it M/S. I think that would be a worthwhile addition to this plugin.
