REFERENCE 2
REFERENCE 2 helps you compare your music to professional releases without being fooled by loudness differences, and it shows you exactly what to adjust to achieve a polished, professional sound.
Level matched A and B
Import reference tracks, then use Level Match to compare at the same perceived loudness, so decisions are based on tone, punch, and width, not volume.
Actionable guidance, not just metering
REFERENCE 2 shows you what to adjust in EQ balance, stereo width, and compression, so you can make targeted moves instead of guessing.
REFSEND workflow for real mix comparisons
REFSEND is an additional plugin installed alongside REFERENCE 2, that allows you to send audio to REFERENCE 2 from within your DAW. This can be useful for when you want to hear the before and after effect of a plugin, an FX chain, or even your entire mastering chain.
