FREE Guide - Learn how to finish at least one great-sounding song per month: pickyourself.com/framework
Analyzing reference tracks is one of the best ways to become a better music producer. So in this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to use some amazing FREE analyzer plugins. Moreover, you will learn some valuable techniques for critical listening so you really understand what's going on in your favorite songs.
Reference tracks are a crucial part of the music production process, and understanding how to analyze them effectively can make all the difference in your own tracks. In this video, we'll cover everything from the frequency spectrum and loudness to dynamic range and stereo width.
We'll be using some of the best analyzer plugins out there, including Voxengo Span, Youlean Loudness Meter, and Flux Stereo Tool. With these tools, you'll be able to analyze your reference tracks like a pro and gain a deeper understanding of how they work.
And, as promised, I'll even reveal my personal favorite (paid) referencing plugin at the end of the video.
Whether you're into Techno, EDM, House, or any other electronic music genre, this tutorial is exactly what you need. So grab your headphones, fire up Ableton Live (or any other DAW), and let's dive into analyzing some reference tracks!

After watching some of your videos I realize that 90% of what people teach on RU-vid is mostly wrong or miss guided. It feels like they want to seem more professional than they are. Or that for a bedroom producer it dossent matter, cuz the songs won't be played in a club, only on their home speaker. =) You are really teaching me a lot, and its easy to understand. Thank you!=)

Aaah, another great tutorial by philip. What a way to start the day having coffe and watching your video! Thank you for using my track 'Inertia', very interesting to see how you analyze the full mix of it. Put things into perspective how another set of ears looks at it :) Learnt some things too :)

Great tutorial! It gave me overall understanding of the spectrum analyzer tool and ways to implement it in my mixing sessions. I'm pretty sure training my ears to pick up and interpret the information will be the more difficult part of the learning process, but I set my foot on the right path 😅 Greetings from Poland, thank you for sharing your knowledge :)

Yeah, less theory, more action ;-) Don't worry, you're going to see massive benefits soon and you will get a deep understanding of how everything is connected frequency-wise in a mix.

Very informative, thank you. I have a lot to practice and learn. Critical listening is a fundamental skill I am trying to learn that really needs good direction and explanation with actual sounds to compare so thanks again for some insight there. Any more info with this would be much appreciated. Please release your track asap its great!! (where can I find more of your tracks please)? Thanks

Another excellent tutorial.. You show how to use and apply what you are explaining. Many others just go down a list of what they can do without showing you how to apply it.
@pickyourselfofficial
@pickyourselfofficial Год назад
"Show don't tell" is something that I've learned from one of my mentors. I try to apply it as good as I can :) To add to this, I do my best to then also tell the "why" behind it. My hope is that the people who watch the videos adopt the mental modals (if they want) and immediately implement them. Thanks for noticing and for your kind words. I really appreciate it!

@@pickyourselfofficial One more thing--Metric AB has a new version its Beta testing. It's amazing. I was lucky to get to test it because I had some issues and they sent it to me. You might try to contact them as a YT influencer and get the latest version. I've had two updates and it just keeps getting better and better..

After using side chaining for years, only a few of my tracks sounded as I intended them to. At least when it comes to the kick and the bass. I am curious on how your method will turn out. Currently I am working on a project and without even using compression or mastering, it sounds really fat and dope. So I hope it will as well after I export it. Thank you so much for your video anyways and have a wonderful day as well

Awesome vid. For some reason the free SPAN analyzer plug-in it's in Demo mode so it mutes audio from time to time. Do I need to make on account on their website ? It asks me to "buy" the software / add a license , but if it's free, how so ?

so they lower everything based on the peak LU, I suppose? Or integrated?
@pickyourselfofficial
@pickyourselfofficial 7 месяцев назад
With “they” you mean streaming services? If so, it’s integrated. This isn’t ideal, of course, but over a long, diverse playlist it obviously is the most consistent outcome. That’s why I recommend to master for the right “feeling of density” that a track needs (looking especially at the short term values in the loudest parts, then double checking the rest).
