What Is REFERENCE?

Ever felt your mix didn’t sound as good as your reference tracks? It can be frustrating not knowing exactly how to get your music comparable to your favourite mixes. That's why we created REFERENCE. It’s packed with powerful tools and never seen before insights to help you get closer than ever to the sound of your favourite music.

REFERENCE 2 is the ultimate referencing tool and will help music producers get closer than ever to the sound of their favorite tracks.

Using reference tracks is essential if you want to create pro-sounding music that translates well on all playback systems.

REFERENCE 2 makes matching the EQ balance, stereo width, compression, and loudness of your reference tracks simple. It does this by giving you the clear, and actionable insights you need to get your music sounding great and ready for release.

The visuals in the Trinity Display show you how your frequency balance, stereo width and compression compares to your reference track. You can also solo the movable frequency bands allowing you to zone in on the intricate differences between your mix and your references.

Level Match

The powerful Level Match tool allows you to instantly and accurately match the loudness of your track and your references. This is crucial for a fair comparison.
