deckard1 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I like to use The Who's 'Eminence Front' off of their It's Hard album as a reference track. I think it's an A+ recording, even though the vocals seem slightly muddy. Great song too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I use many different reference tracks depending on what I'm mixing.
