The "Reference Intensity," control is a bit of the engine's secret sauce!

In a nutshell the reference intensity dictates how bright your song will be, based both on your original track and the brightness of the reference track.

Certain genres / styles sound better with lower reference intensities, while others will sound better using higher values. We encourage you to experiment with these settings to find the ideal solution for your track!
