    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Recurring mid-frequency clash (2×) — Mid-range buildup muddies the soundstage and washes out vocals/synths during transitions. Detected 2× (4:58, 8:12).
    • Long static loops (4×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (36:00, 41:00, 48:00, 56:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    Energy and structure

    The energy curve was sampled at 11 points, moving between 82 and 98 on the SOONOS energy scale — a narrow dynamic range across the set.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 974.1 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 12 ms.

    How this score is built

    Measured layer (DSP): the audio file is analysed directly — beat grid, tempo stability, loudness and energy. These values are measurements, not opinions.

    Listening layer: a multi-agent pass reads musical intent — programming, storytelling, coherence and crowd effect. This layer interprets, it does not measure.

    Fusion and ceilings: the two layers are merged, and the measured layer always wins on execution. When the DSP hears an execution problem, it caps the final score even if the listening layer is positive.

    Measured coverage for this file is 100% of the set.

    This report is produced automatically from the published recording. It measures what is present in the audio file: a bad source encoding, a partial upload or a heavily processed broadcast version can change the measured values. Nothing here reflects the room, the crowd or the night itself.
