Description
Reference Track Mix Analysis
Find out how close your mix is to your target sound
You have mixed your song yourself and have a reference song in mind whose sound you want to reach. I listen to both specifically against each other: frequency balance, loudness, stereo width and dynamics. Afterwards you know exactly where your mix is already close and where the biggest difference to your target sound lies.
A good fit if: You mix yourself, have a specific reference song in mind and want to know which sonic adjustments bring you closer to that sound.
What you get
Not a blanket assessment, but a direct sonic comparison between your mix and your reference song.
- Comparison of the frequency balance: where your mix deviates from the reference song in the bass, mids or highs
- Assessment of loudness compared to the reference song
- Comparison of stereo width and spatial impression
- Comparison of dynamics, for example how much punch and compression the reference song has compared to your mix
- Concrete, actionable pointers on which steps bring you closer to your target sound
How it works
- Link your mix and reference song: You enter two links, your current mix and the reference song whose sound you are using as a guide.
- Sonic comparison: I listen to both specifically against each other and analyse frequency balance, loudness, stereo width and dynamics.
- Written evaluation: You get an easy-to-understand evaluation with concrete, actionable recommendations.
- Delivery: Your result arrives within 3 to 5 business days as a PDF by email.
Important note: This service is pure sonic analysis compared to your reference song, entirely in writing and without an appointment, I do not edit or mix your file myself. If you would rather have me actively mix or master your track, the Online Mixing and Mastering is the right service for that. If it is more about song structure and overall impression than pure sound, the Professional Song Analysis weiter.
Frequently asked questions about the Reference Track Mix Analysis
Do you also edit or mix my file?
No. This service is pure sonic analysis with written pointers, I do not touch your audio file itself. If you want me to actively edit your mix, Online Mixing and Mastering is the right service.
What makes a good reference song?
Any finished, released song whose sound, meaning frequency balance, loudness, stereo width or dynamics, you want to use as a model. It does not have to be from the same genre, what matters is only the sound you want to achieve.
How do I send my mix and the reference song?
As a link, for example from WeTransfer, Google Drive, Dropbox or pCloud. For the reference song, a streaming link, for example to Spotify or YouTube, is also fine.
How is this different from the song analysis or the lyrics feedback?
The Professional Song Analysis checks song structure, arrangement and overall impression. The Lyrics Feedback checks only your text. The Reference Track Mix Analysis, by contrast, is purely sonic and always a direct comparison to a reference song of your choice.
