    There's a plugin called "REFERENCE" that is stellar for this. It matches the volume of your track to the reference track automatically, so it instantly becomes apparent what elements are too loud/soft in your mix. There's also a feature to solo the lows/mids/highs of each track to make it even more apparent

    Extra tip: press cmd (ctrl) + K and map the number 1 of your keyboard to the ref track solo button so you can toggle back and forward easily

    My biggest issue with reference tracks is knowing which track to reference! I don’t know of any artists that have great mixes that make music all that similar to mine

    If you have a reference track in mind, how do you go about finding the audio file for it? A lot of times I try to reference and it’s a mastered track that’s just way louder than mine

    What is the benefit of matching the gain? I usually drop the reference 1dB so it has headroom but not too much b/c I want to bring up the loudness of mine

    Where is everyone finding the file references and where are they downloading it from? No one seems to say that they just say they just open Ableton and then pull a reference track from I don’t know where and how it got into Ableton can you please help

    I probably missed something, but why should we decrease the volume in the reference track rather than increasing on our track?

    • @ronanbax6102
      @ronanbax6102 2 года назад

      Yes. Generally commercial tracks will be better produced, mixed and mastered than any newbies tracks (don't be discouraged the more you practice the closer you can get) so you wont be able to get near the levels they have without clipping the master (this is due to use of clippers, limiters and the like). All you have to do is decrease the volume of the reference and increase your speaker volume to compensate if you so desire.
      I myself have abandoned reference tracks in favor of focusing on making music I like the sound of and making it good sounding on as many systems as possible. Rather than stressing about levels and genre continuity.

    What does sending the signal to 5/6 mean exactly ???

    • @interact940
      @interact940 3 года назад +2

      This is just showing which audio output on the audio interface is being used to get the sound to your ears via speakers or headphones.

    • @interact940
      @interact940 3 года назад +2

      This is a stereo signal so one would use 2 outputs in this case 5 and 6 to output the left and right signal to the respective drivers in your speakers/headphones.

    • @interact940
      @interact940 3 года назад

      prbly Stereo. That's the use case for two outputs anyway.

      ​@@interact940I'm still having trouble understanding, how is this different from just dropping your ref track and disabling it and then just turning solo on and off to compare?

    wait why 5/6 though?

    • @jamessssssssssssss
      @jamessssssssssssss 2 года назад +2

      you can set it to whatever output channel your master is, which will most likely be 1/2. Not sure why his master was set to 5/6, but since it was, the reference track also got sent there. The reason you don't send the reference track to the master (even when they're both going to the same output channels) is to avoid running the reference through any effects you have on your master track

    • @Mr_Pfau
      @Mr_Pfau Год назад

      He probably has some interface with many channels. We beginners mostly have 1/2 because we use just a normal interface or output
