When FREE is activated, you can navigate to any part of your reference track by clicking on the waveform. You can either click ‘Add Reference Tracks’ and select the files from your computer or drag and drop your files onto the Wave Transport.Īfter loading your reference tracks, you will see the MIRROR and FREE buttons in the bottom left corner of the Wave Transport. There are two ways to load reference tracks.

REFERENCE should go after your metering plugin (we recommend our comprehensive metering plugin LEVELS of course) but before any headphone or speaker correction. To get started, load an instance of REFERENCE on the master bus of your project. Keep REFERENCE open during your sessions to help you efficiently create pro-sounding music. ✓ A great investment in yourself! REFERENCE customers often say this is their most-used plugin. ✓ Includes an additional source plugin called REFSEND that allows you to bypass entire FX chains to make loudness-matched A/B comparisons. ✓ Visual and actionable insights to make matching the true peak, loudness, EQ balance, punch, and stereo width of your reference tracks easier than ever. This is crucial for a fair comparison and for making informed decisions on how to shape your sound.

✓ Instantly and accurately match the loudness of your track and your references. ✓ Compare your mix or master to up to 12 reference tracks and create multiple loops so you can quickly compare various sections of your track to your reference. This page will explain the features and show you how to get the most value from this incredibly powerful plugin. It does this by giving you the tools and insights you need to get your productions sounding more like your reference tracks.

REFERENCE helps you get closer than ever to the sound of your favorite music.
