    In short

    Andy C - Radio 1 Residency Mix | 07.04.2022 by Andy C scores 88/100 in the SOONOS analysis (festival ready). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (95/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (86/100).

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Long static loops (4×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (24:00, 32:00, 49:00, 55:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    What to try next

    • Continue to push the boundaries of high-speed layering.
    • Explore more diverse sub-bass textures to add depth.
    • Incorporate brief atmospheric breaks to enhance the impact of the drops.
    • Experiment with even more radical rhythmic shifts to surprise the audience.

    Each moment below is tagged with how it was produced: “measured” comes from the DSP pass on the audio, “listening” comes from the multi-agent listening pass.

    About this drum and bass set

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 95/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 86/100.

    Analysis coverage for this file is 100% — the share of the set the engine could measure with full confidence.

    Energy and structure

    The energy curve was sampled at 14 points, moving between 85 and 98 on the SOONOS energy scale — a narrow dynamic range across the set.

    8 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 458.8 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 20 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.

    Methodology and limitations

    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.

    IDENTITY is the strongest category at 95/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 86/100.
    How is this score calculated?
