Compare your mix to a reference track, level-matched, section by section

RefBooth compares your master with a reference at matched loudness and pairs your sections with its sections, so you hear and read the mix rather than the level. Compare is part of Studio, with a 3-day trial.

Your report opens with a 3-day trial. Stored on our own servers in the EU, never used to train anything. Without an account it is deleted after 7 days. See a sample report

What it answers

  • Compare up to 8 sources at once, level-matched
  • Level-matched A/B player with band solo
  • Suggested EQ moves against the reference
  • Reference library, 16 saved slots

How it works

  1. Drop your master above; its report opens in the app.
  2. With Studio, add a reference, or drop two or more files at once and they open side by side.
  3. Read the pairs: your intro against its intro, your drop against its drop, each at matched loudness, with the differences in loudness, dynamics, width and balance.

How to read the result

A difference that remains once the levels are matched is real: in the balance, the dynamics or the width, and something you can act on. Compare section with section, never your drop with its intro. The guide to reference tracks covers choosing one and what to look at.

Questions

Is comparing to a reference free?

No. Compare is part of Studio, which starts with a 3-day trial. Pricing has the price for your country.

Why match the levels?

A version only a little louder tends to sound better, whatever it is. Matched, the comparison measures the mix, not the volume.

How many references can I compare?

Compare up to 8 sources at once, level-matched
