Many people think of referencing mainly as a mixing tool. But referencing other songs should actually be part of your process right from the start. Even during writing and arranging, proper referencing will make a huge difference.

I say "proper" referencing, because choosing the right reference tracks and using them to your advantage is a skill that needs to be learned and trained.

You want to reference the right songs for specific reasons, without ever trying to perfectly copy something (that will always go wrong, no matter how hard you try).

Listen know and learn when to use reference tracks, what to listen for and how to choose the right songs! We even give you a list of songs we use and explain why we chose these.
