    In short

    Resonation Radio 293 by Ferry Corsten scores 70/100 in the SOONOS analysis (solid). The strongest dimension is IDENTITY (89/100) and the weakest is SURPRISE (77/100).

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Long static loops (2×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (48:00, 54:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

    Timestamped insights

    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.

    • 1:15Measured (DSP)95/100Listen at 1:15

      Perfectly executed handover from the intro atmosphere into the first groove.

    • 5:45Measured (DSP)90/100Listen at 5:45

      Smooth integration of the second track's percussion over the first track's breakdown.

    • 10:12Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 10:12

      Energetic switch that maintains momentum while introducing a more aggressive lead.

    • 12:48Measured (DSP)94/100Listen at 12:48

      Perfectly executed handover. The incoming bassline takes over without any phase cancellation.

    • 17:15Measured (DSP)89/100Listen at 17:15

      Smooth transition using high-pass filtering to clear space for the new track's kick.

    • 21:30Measured (DSP)91/100Listen at 21:30

      High-impact transition that maintains peak energy. The tracks complement each other's frequency space.

    • 25:12Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 25:12

      Seamless transition, perfectly phrase-aligned with no audible drift.

    • 28:45Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 28:45

      Smooth handover between vocal sections, maintaining emotional momentum.

    About this trance set

    Resonation Radio 293 is a trance DJ set by Ferry Corsten, running 1h 00m. It was measured by the SOONOS multi-agent engine and scores 70/100 overall — solid.

    The engine files this performance as “Promising”.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 89/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 77/100.

    The final score is capped by measured beatmatching: the DSP layer overrides the listening layer whenever it measures an execution issue directly in the audio.

    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 20 and 92 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.

    8 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 1311.0 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 29 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.

    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.

    Questions about this analysis

    What score does Ferry Corsten's Resonation Radio 293 get?
    Resonation Radio 293 scores 70/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (solid), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
    How long is Resonation Radio 293?
    The analysed recording runs 1h 00m.
    Which part of the mix scores best?
    IDENTITY is the strongest category at 89/100, 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.
