Reference tracks should never be paid for!
You can use music you hear on the radio etc.
The goal is to compare your music’s balance to the song’s balance.
Reference tracks are not audio stems.
Audio stems are the individual parts of the song exported into .WAV to collaborate, or get into stem mixing.
A reference track is a single audio file which you can compare your master to, and see how it compares in terms of loudness, and frequency balance!
