Reference anythinganything

Put Stream AB on your master and hit B: your mix mutes and the reference plays. Hit A and your mix is back.

Control the reference from inside the plugin. With B selected, Space plays and pauses it too, and switching between A and B starts and stops it for you.

A gain trim on your mix, so the two sit at the same level and you judge the sound rather than the volume.

A/B is a real plugin parameter, so map it to a MIDI controller or a key and switch without touching the mouse.

Momentary, short-term and integrated LUFS for your mix and the reference, measured the same way, with peaks and range alongside.

Your mix and the reference on one plot, as a fine curve or four broad bands, so you can see exactly where your frequency balance differs.

Hear your mix through a streaming-quality codec, chosen from a dropdown, and catch what compression does to it before you release.

Find a song and it starts playing, without leaving your DAW. Click the service logo to switch services. Spotify needs no Premium.

One button listens to both sides for a few seconds and sets your gain to match the reference.

Loop the part you are working on - drag across the scrub bar or type exact times - or loop the whole song so the reference keeps playing.

Heart a search result, or press Save while a track plays, and your go-to references are one click away.

Jump to any point in the reference from the scrub bar, and skip between tracks.

Title, artist and artwork for whatever is playing.
