That will prevent it from being modified by any plugins that you may have on the master channel. Have this reference track(s) bypass the master channel, i.e. Place one (or more) of your favourite tracks on one (or more) of your DAW’s channels as a reference. You can pick some ideas in the reference track(s) to make yours more interesting. You can try to reproduce the reference track as closely as possible, for your education (this can help you develop some tricks and techniques by ‘borrowing’ them from other producers). You can by comparison assess what is missing or redundant in your own track. This can help you decide where your own sections will be. You can use its structure (place markers at each section: start, drop, buildup, main section, outro.). That’s probably the main use of referencing. You can try to make your track sound sonically similar to the reference one (same kind of EQ). Nothing forbids you to use several tracks as references.ĭoes my track look (sound) like that3 famous hit? This existing track therefore becomes your reference. One way to avoid this disappointment, as you go creating and building your track, is to be able to check on the spot how it sounds compared to an existing track, preferably a released track that you like. Suddenly yours sounds dull, narrow, weak, boring, and you start to switch from excitement to depression mode. Uh? Reference? You have undoubtedly in the past created a track that sounded awesome… until you played another track in a similar genre.
