I have been spending more time studying reference tracks lately and I keep running into the same problem.
I can hear whats going on, like where the drop hits, how the energy builds, what kind of instruments are used but turning that into something structured or reusable is way harder than it sounds.
What i am looking for is something that can:
- break a song into sections
- identify the general production style or vibe
- maybe even highlight key elements like drums, bass, leads
Not just BPM/key type stuff but something a bit deeper that helps you actually learn from a track instead of just listening to it
