Energy and structure

The energy curve was sampled at 37 points, moving between 20 and 98 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.

7 transitions were detected and scored individually.

Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 1101.1 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 26 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.
