Staring at a blank DAW is exhausting; staring at a mapped-out arrangement from a reference track is energising. Marc walks through a clear, repeatable reference track arrangement blueprint workflow that turns a single reference track into a full song structure, so you can stop looping and start finishing. From matching tempo and key to placing eight-bar markers, Marc shows how to label intros, verses, breakdowns, builds, and drops, then use that structure to guide creative choices without feeling boxed in.Marc digs into why intelligent imitation is a craft skill, not a shortcut. By reverse-engineering the reference track structural DNA, you can learn pacing, contrast, and energy flow faster than via trial and error. He goes beyond markers to analyse macro dynamics, tonal balance, and how loudness shapes a listener's journey. You'll discover where spectrum shifts create space for vocals or bass, and how micro-changes sustain attention across long sections. With stem splitting from the reference, you learn drums, bass, and instruments in isolation and translate their function into your own sound.The practical steps are simple: import your reference track, set BPM/key, add a one-bar buffer for alignment, then mark changes every eight bars. Use those signposts to automate builds, design drops, and maintain forward momentum. As your track evolves, reduce reliance on the reference and treat it as a launch pad, not a cage.Marc closes with a challenge: pick a song that grabbed your ear, map its structure today, build your arrangement, and send him a work-in-progress. If this approach helps you move faster and think clearly, subscribe, share with someone stuck in loop-land, and leave a quick review to help more producers find the show.Links mentioned in this episode:Listen to DarklightHow to Make Progressive House from Start to Finish | SpliceSend me a message Support the showWays to connect with Marc: Listener Feedback Survey - tell me what YOU want in 2026 Radio-ready mixes start here - get the FREE weekly tips Book your FREE Music Breakthrough Strategy Call Follow Marc's Socials: Instagram | YouTube | Synth Music Mastering Thanks for listening!!

Ever wondered how singers record vocals remotely and make them sound professional? In this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews is joined by New Zealand synthwave vocalist INDIGO to explore the art of remote vocal collaboration and the songwriting process behind her unique sound.From her unexpected start in the synthwave scene to collaborations with artists like Wolf Club and Turbo Knight, INDIGO shares how she records vocals from home while working with producers across the world. We dive into her vocal recording techniques—including why she double-tracks every vocal and prefers recording in the evenings for her best takes.You'll also learn how Indigo adapts her lyrics to fit electronic music, moving between dreamy love songs and darker themes, and how she overcomes songwriter's block with practical strategies like listening to instrumentals on long drives or stepping away from projects overnight.For the tech-minded, Indigo reveals her setup, using the Aston Origin microphone, basic vocal processing, and clear communication with producers to make remote collaborations successful. She also opens up about the challenges of online music partnerships and why trust and reliability matter as much as technical skill.Whether you're a producer looking to collaborate with vocalists or a singer wanting to deliver better takes from home, this episode is packed with actionable tips for remote recording, lyric writing, and collaboration in the digital age.Links mentioned in this episode:Follow INDIGOListen to Darklight (feat.

Yes, by any normal standard, he could proudly hang up thebanjo and retire.But John McCutcheon is just getting started.“I feel as though I'm finally getting the hang of doing my job well.”During the pandemic, when a lot of the music world shut down,McCutcheon wrote and released three recordings of new material. Heproved that Zoom could be used for good as well as for evil by forgingonline songwriting partnerships with a half dozen fellow writers, not theleast of whom was the iconic Tom Paxton. They even released a jointalbum, Together, which not only won critical raves but was dubbed “thebest album I've ever done, period.” by Grammy Lifetime Award winnerPaxton.And, just when you think he can't surprise you anymore, he drops album#45: Field of Stars (release date: Janary 10, 2025), a stunning collectionof original and cowritten songs people are calling “the best of his career.”Field of Stars was supposed to be recorded and released in 2020.Musicians were hired, studio dates booked. And then came COVID. So,the songs where shelved until it was safe to go into a small windowlessspace with some of your best mates. But then came the explosion ofwriting that John produced during the lockdown. Three albums in threeyears, each seemingly better than the last. After tackling theMcCutcheon/Paxton project, he was ready to take the long-delayed 2020album down from the shelf and get back to work on it.
