I just bought the Yerevan Sample Pack. It's fantastic ! I highly recommend it. And I will probably buy Diva too, because your presets sound really good. Dude you make me spend a lot of money today 😄 Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge here. Cheers
I always wondered about the effectiveness of using a mastered reference track against a non-mastered track. You've just answered that question by explaining about making sure the integrated LUFS is the same on each track before starting. Thank you!!!
Wow.. that keymap shortcut is so handy. Again.. superb content as always. i always learn so much from your vids. cant wait for your new pack. Thank you
Just what I was praying for. Stars just aligned. Voxengo span most def is game changer. Can’t wait to try this out & get a song out of already. But progress is part of the process 😅. Thanks so much brother. Your tips are going in my toolbox. Much blessings to you ❤
Very Great tutorial man!! I always use voxengo curve, with a pre made curve to compare and now I will use reference tracks with Span, certainly that my results will be better. Thanks for this!!
I didn't know Span could do that! I've been putting TDR Nova on both and trying to compare them with the windows one above the other! This is a great tip, thanks heaps!
Dude thank you so much mixing is my downfall it’s so difficult but this is doing a great job of explaining how to mix and balance. Do you have any videos on mixing bass and other instruments?
Hi ! Thanks a lot for your video !! I can't find the VST version on my ableton browser, i did researches and ableton says it only manages VST2 and VST3 on windows (and manages AU only on mac), I uninstalled and re installed, moved into the good folders, but everytime only the VST3 version without the sidechain option is appearing, would you know how i could fix this ? Thanks for your time !
Great video. Couple of questios: 1. Would you say the final limiting/compression changes the frequecy curve a lot? In that case wouldn't it make more sense to use your method during master rather than mixing. Would be a great video testing how much the frequency curve changes from mix to master 2. Do you chose reference tracks in the same key? 3, Any tips on how to match compression levels in certain frequencies? Insted of boosting certain elements could also compress and then push them. Thanks!!
Cheers! 1. Limiting and Compression is something you shouldn't save until the Mastering stage. I'm all for limiting and compressing (especially group tracks) during Mixing. That's why in the video I mentioned that an ideal master should basically just be an act of increasing loudness, not adding any color / compression / saturation. Nonetheless: Yes, Compression and Limiting does change the frequency curve, but not by a lot if your limiter and compressor aren't working hard (reducing volume intensely). 2. I choose reference tracks by mood and similarity, rarely by key. 3. Apply compression to layers that have a high peak value: Toms, Hats, Claps for example. Then do the gain matching ;) All the best.
Hi. Great video again, sir! This is a great way to reference. A couple of questions: 1. Do you use such tools as Metric AB from Plugin Alliance and such plugins? I have Metric AB and find it invaluable. More often than not is is on some sort of sale…worth the investment. 2. When using span, do you ever engage the mid/side for referencing those? Cheers! Again, your tutorial is a great way to do the basics of referencing for free.
Cheers mate. 1. Used to use it but don't have it currently installed. Honestly never really liked the Spectrum Analyzer on Metric AB. All the other feature like importing multiple references I do like though. 2. Makes sense to use it, true! But I only use it for setting my levels right. All the best to you!
Hey Slippyg, yess. I highly recommend a lossless format such as WAV. That's because MP3 cuts high end and low-end to compress file size which isn't ideal for referencing.
when you put a reference track that is remastered with your mix that is not mastered. When your mix goes to mastering it will have problems... since the limiter raises the bass

This was such a helpful video showing the capability of SPAN and actual reference mixing. Love your stuff man!

Wow.. that keymap shortcut is so handy. Again.. superb content as always. i always learn so much from your vids. cant wait for your new pack. Thank you
Thanks a lot for this valuable video. I'm happy to learn how to view both tracks in Span. It would be great to see more mixing tutorial from you
Always providing great info - and you are stepping up your presentation, with the nice, pause to check it out, visuals - works really well.
I'm new to the mixing side of things and this vid was great. Excellent way to reference the reference track. Thanks

Thanks for your comment. Have fun!
Thank You this gave me a greater understanding of using a reference track and my Spam meter
Very Great tutorial man!!

Glad it was helpful!
very helpful, thank you

Glad I could help!
Thnks for data 🙌
Dude thank you so much mixing is my downfall it’s so difficult but this is doing a great job of explaining how to mix and balance. Do you have any videos on mixing bass and other instruments?
Happy this helped! I do have one video called 10 mixing tips that changed my life. You can check that out ;)

Thank you🙏🏻🙏🏻 please do more tips on kick processing
You're welcome! Yes, good idea. Will do so.
How do you do this on fl studio?
Really great vid. Thx

Merci pour le tuto c'est top :)👍
Could you post up the setting that you used for Span pls
🙏🙏🙏
🔥🔥🔥

What’s your artist’s name ? Can we hear you in Spotify ? 😊
Zahand open.spotify.com/artist/7jIsc2oWolwlC7mbf9wvOB?si=9QyHo0BaSb-KeK_d2Zkj0Q
🙏
Does this work only if you are copying some other genre that should sound same?
king! thx
how do i get the vst version of span?? do i have to have the paid version??
It comes with all the other versions. Make sure you have VST plugins enabled in ableton.
Kevin: does the reference track need to be WAV or FLAC?
Hey Slippyg, yess. I highly recommend a lossless format such as WAV. That's because MP3 cuts high end and low-end to compress file size which isn't ideal for referencing.
Doesnt a match eq like smart eq give u the same results?
Very nice, again!
Man this vid is SUPER helpful! I seen other ways to do referencing with SPAN but this simplified the process. Thank you!
Great to hear!
when you put a reference track that is remastered with your mix that is not mastered. When your mix goes to mastering it will have problems... since the limiter raises the bass
Mal wieder starkes Video !!!
Great vid 👍🏼
Great content, thanks for sharing! 🙏
amazing😎
Wow. ( I am speechless ). That sounds like a total wrong approach. Not?
Dang, what makes you think that?
Что то ты перешел на более медленные треки 110-115 bpm
Really great tutorial. Saved. Thank you!
Great Work Mate
05:42 - This detail is the big secret that I couldn't find in any video on TH-cam!!!! Congratulations on the tip!!!
