Which part of the mix scores best?

IDENTITY is the strongest category at 89/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 79/100.

How is this score calculated?

SOONOS measures the audio with a DSP pass (beat grid, loudness, tempo, energy) and runs a multi-agent listening pass on top. Measured axes always override the listening layer, so an execution issue heard in the file caps the final score.

Key takeaways

What worked

Technical precision in EQ and phrasing.
Deep emotional narrative.
Excellent tension management.

What weakened the set

Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (22:00, 30:00, 45:00, 49:30, 62:45, 67:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

What to try next

Introduce more dynamic EQ movement during long blends to keep the texture evolving.
Experiment with brief percussive resets to create more dramatic energy shifts.
Layer in subtle atmospheric FX to further enhance the cinematic feel of the melodic sections.
Experiment with more varied emotional textures to add depth to the dark atmosphere.

Energy and structure

The energy curve was sampled at 55 points, moving between 40 and 92 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.

6 transitions were detected and scored individually.

Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 441.6 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 28 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.

On this set, the ceiling applied is measured beatmatching.

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