    Recurring patterns

    • Recurring mid-frequency clash

      Mid-range buildup muddies the soundstage and washes out vocals/synths during transitions. Detected 2× (7:45, 17:40).

    • Long static loops (3×)

      Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (19:30, 41:30, 49:15). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.
