Producing With Reference

This new course by WA Production explores the process of producing a track by working with different types of references, from broad genre-based influences to detailed track-specific elements. It covers the three key patterns that define a track’s signature sound and shows how to apply them to your chosen reference. Through practical examples, the lessons break down Latin music by tempo, harmony, and instrumentation, highlighting the pitfalls of copying a reference too closely, demonstrating reggae production using a single-track reference, and explaining how to interpret and create with unique reference tracks.
