Which part of the mix scores best?

STORYTELLING is the strongest category at 87/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 77/100.

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 weakened the set

Recurring mid-frequency clash (2×) — Mid-range buildup muddies the soundstage and washes out vocals/synths during transitions. Detected 2× (4:45, 16:45).
Repeated volume jumps (2×) — Gain-staging mismatches break perceived continuity and force the crowd to readjust. Detected 2× (7:12, 20:30).
Long static loops (3×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (31:00, 33:00, 51:30). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

What to try next

Refine harmonic matching during quick transitions to avoid jarring shifts.
Experiment with more diverse rhythmic structures to enhance the 'surprise' factor.
Continue to leverage vocal layering as a primary storytelling tool.
Use subtle percussion loops during long breakdowns to maintain a sense of forward motion.

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.
