GET CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE SOUND OF YOUR FAVORITE MIXES

How Will REFERENCE Transform Your Music Productions?

🌎 Overview: REFERENCE will help you compare the original production you’re working on in your DAW to your chosen reference tracks.

⚠️ Problem Solved: If your mixes don’t sound as professional as commercially successful songs, REFERENCE will give you the tools and guidance to resolve this.

✅ Get Started: Load REFERENCE as the final plugin on your master channel. You can drag and drop your favourite songs into the UI, then jump back and forth between your original and your reference. We recommend that you loop the chorus as a starting point.

🤩 Highlight 1: REFERENCE will level match your songs by default. This crucial feature will allow you to compare songs without bias, as humans perceive louder songs to have more bass and more clarity. So you’ll make better, more informed mixing decisions using REFERENCE.

🤩 Highlight 2: The Trinity Display visual in the lower part of REFERENCE will show you the exact EQ curve you need to use on your track to get it sounding like your reference track.
