Description: 

The refrencer plugin allows you to load your preferred reference files and compare them with your mix.

It provides almost all the sound engineer needs to analyze the mix while performing mixing and mastering operations:

Source section:

Monitoring section:

Sample-loop Matrix section - the section that allows to select current audio file (sample) and loop to play. Each row is associated with a file, and each button in a row is associated with the loop.

Analysis section is responsible for tuning spectrum analysis and time analysis

Filter section

All analysis tools are split into several tabs:

The Overview tab contains sections with elements from other tabs which are the following:

The Overivew tab is useful for understanding the whole image about mix without significant details. Clicking on the corresponding section allows to quickly switch to the desired tab.

The Samples tab contains graphs from other tabs which are the following:

The Loudness tab allows to show time graph and meters for following values:

The Loudness tabs contains following controls:

The Waveform tab contains graphs with waveform analysis of the signal:

The zoom also can be adjusted by clicking the grap with the right mouse button and moving mouse pointer up and down.

Alternative way to adjust mix and reference shifts can be achieved by clicking the graph with the left mouse button and moving mouse pointer left and right. By default both Mix and Reference are moved. Holding the 'Shift' key allows to adjust the shift of the mix only. Holding the 'Ctrl' key allows to adjust the shift of the reference only.

The size of the frame can be adjusted by applying mouse scroll on the graph. Holding the `Ctrl` key will accelerate the setup while holding the 'Shift' key will decelerate the setup.

The Spectrum tab show the spectrum analysis of the selected signal:

Moving the mouse over the graph shows the frequency, the note and the level on the graph the mouse pointer is pointing at current moment.

Clicking the graph will set the vertical measurement line to the corresponding position of the click.

The Dynamics tab allows to analyze the micro-dynamics of the signal.

The advantage of the PSR value is that it does not depend on the loudness of the analyzed signal and allows to analyze the overall compression applied to the Mix and Reference signals. The lower PRS value is, the less microdynamics has the track.

The following controls are available:

The Correlation tab allows to analyze the overall correlation and frequency-domain correlation between left and right channels of the stereo track:

The Stereo tab allows to perform some stereo analysis of the signal
