Compare your mix to a reference
Hear your mix and a released song level matched at the same spot, and see where your lows, mids and highs differ.
Hold your mix up to a released song you want it to sound like. Mix vs reference is free, needs no account, and uploads nothing.
Compare two songs
- Open Mix vs reference.
- Drop your mix, or press Upload your mix.
- Drop a reference song on Add a reference song, or anywhere on the panel. Drop both at once and the second one is the reference.
- Press play. Switch between them with the play buttons, the 1 and 2 keys, or the arrow keys. Both play in step, so you stay at the same spot.
Read the difference
- Match is on: the louder song is turned down to the quieter one, so louder never sounds better by accident.
- Tone shows, for the lows, mids and highs, how much more or less your mix has than the reference, in dB. Amber means 3 dB or more.
- Loudness shows a live LUFS meter on each song.
- Loop repeats a passage, Auto switches between the songs for you, and Blind hides which one is playing so you judge by ear.
