    Hi, I'm looking for some really good reference tracks so I can do A/B comparisons while mixing and mastering with ADPTR.
    Mainly in the genres of hip hop, trap, and reggaeton.
    Do you have any tracks that you think fit these genres and have been mixed and mastered really well—maybe even by big names like Jaycen Joshua, Dave Pensado, or Serban?
    I’ve used “Still Dre” a lot, or “50 Cent in da Club”... those are the classics, and for reggaeton, I’ve often used “Mi Gente.”

    There are a lot of references on this site, but only a few for my genre.

    What are your top reference songs?

    Best regards
