Using reference tracks
I want to start doing this since it seems to be, from what I've read, a good way to get the sound you want. Am I understanding correctly that a reference track would be pulling in a recorded song (MP3 or WAV) and adding it as a track to your song, but muting it and just referring back to it in solo mode when you need to hear "what it's supposed to sound like"? Is that the concept?
I am using Studio One 4. Is there anything special I need to do, or just add it as a track?

Yes, it's useful to use a reference track just be aware the reference track is already mastered so you'll likely need to lower the volume on it to match your own mix.

Nothing special Just drag the file into the timeline/edit window and it should auto create an additional audio track. Doesn't matter if it is WAV or MP3 etc., it will auto convert it to play in your S1 song
