This is how you make a plugin tutorial. Very comprehensible. Thank you!

[@samsmyers]

Thanks!

[@natesamadhi33]

exactly. its amazing how most other channels completely skim over this way too fast

[@addisonansley9005]

I bought this plugin a long time ago and did not understand how powerful it was. Your tutorial and dive into it helped me so much! Thank you :)

[@phenominalblak9797]

Is the reference track also affected by the plugins already in the channel?

[@tukkyws13]

Nice plugin, nice video, easy and simple to understand...i really like your channel Sam!!!

[@samsmyers]

Thank you!

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

Great video! Thanks so much.

[@GTSongwriter]

That is so much more information than White Sea Studio.

[@joseferro1432]

Hi Sam, thanks for the great informative video. I'm not as intimidated by this plug-in anymore! 😎👍

[@gokrazyhbeats]

So after my track is good with the reference do i leave the plugin on my master or take it off after? Awsome video by the way!

[@marksinger5954]

Really good demonstration. However, would have been nice to actually know why you think it is “best”. I really like Metric AB and haven’t seen anything here that as far as I can tell isn’t available on that in one way or another. Would love to know how they compare in your view. Thanks!

[@bc_beats]

Great breakdown!

[@DWINC]

But how do you get the reference tracks? Pirate Bay is down and we all use Spotify? ;)

[@stefdazzle3075]

Solid tutorial! Thanks!

[@ezoupeter4630]

Thank you for this helpful tutorial 🥂💯🔥

[@samsmyers]

No problem!!

[@tomframpton3879]

Great video Sam!! Thanks so much.

[@samsmyers]

this is one of my favorite plugins!

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Hey Tom, Can you point us to any in depth videos where they actually show how they work on getting that Line level in check and what tools they would choose? Would be really helpful to see a few examples. Seems like it can be tricky as you adjust one area... and it affects the others. Thanks! Love Reference 2.

woah, anyone know if that same keymap option is available with logic x? that was dope! I could see that being super useful.

[@khz5324]

Q: It's like you're chasing the reference track's frequencies?? How can you adjust your eq settings when its bouncing all over the place?

[@samsmyers]

It's kinda just like using a frequency analyzer but taking a slower average of the frequencies. It's not perfect, but I still find it incredibly useful.

[@bryanjones5182]

Awesome video mate. I have a question....where do you get the reference tracks from? Do I record them directly into my DAW from my phone, computer etc, from say Apple Music, Spotify?

[@samsmyers]

if you have Spotify, you can pull the audio using a program like TunePat, or you can google search for a youtube to mp3 converter and find the song on youtube and then use that program to download an mp3. Sometimes you can find a free wav download on like Soundcloud but idk who really uses soundcloud any more.

@@samsmyers Great, Thanks for the reply!

Are you saying you don't own any music at all in digital form?

DOPE Revue. Thanx!

[@samsmyers]

hope it helped!

[@musicproductionvideos5019]

Do you know why does my Line Level seem to change (as if to another song) when I flip from my Original to the Reference (not changing the ref)? Shouldn't it always be the same difference/match curve of the two files? I understand the Width changes to show each file but not the Level line.

[@rinasoonawala6750]

why match eq not explained? i was waiting for it whole video LOL

[@samsmyers]

I don't think Reference 2 does match EQ?

[@Motekk67]

For Match Eq you need the Mixroom and Bass room Plugins
