YoungProdigy Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I've read a lot of articles on mixing and most of them recommend the use of reference tracks. I believe using reference tracks will also improve my mixing. But I can't seem to find any sites with free high quality music; that I can use to reference my mixes.

Flexstyle Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 dude, you're posting on OCReMix. There's a bunch of super high-quality music here, why are you still looking? In all seriousness, you can use Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, Pandora, whatever. Just find music that's done well and then listen to that, then mentally compare your music to it. That's basically it. If you want some recommendations as to well-done music, I'm sure a bunch of us can chime in--what genre are you looking at right now?

True there are a lot of good tracks on this site. But there are a lot of songs so it takes me a while to find the perfect reference. But I'll probably check Amazon Music and Google play too. I do pretty much all genres by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
