Using high quality reference audio for mixing?

Hey everyone, quick reference question: What track do you use as a general reference audio file? ChatGPT is saying something like Audiomachine's 'Guardians at the Gate' is a good overall reference for various reasons. I was just looking for something that works for MOST mixes to include in my template to occassionally make sure im not WAY off on my mixes. Also was told I should NOT rip audio off youtube as it has issues and is not a good reflection of the original sound. Thoughts on what to use, and where to get a good quality file (wav?)?
