Chris and Jody come with a partner chat about reference tracks for production and writing emulation. What are reference tracks for production and writing and do Chris or Jody use them? What’s the point of emulation inspiration? Are there pitfalls to making use of reference tracks for this purpose? Where should they fit into one’s workflow and what should be avoided if using them? That’s the burning core of this episode.
