What is Reference Mixing?

Reference mixing means importing a finished, professionally-mixed song into your project and comparing it to your mix as you work.

• Pick a reference track in the same genre and energy as your song.
• Match its loudness using the reference's volume — never your master.
• A/B between your mix and the reference often. Your ears reset constantly.
• Compare the kick, vocal level, low end, top end, and width.
• Toggle the demo to hear how a reference shifts your sense of 'right'.
