Key takeaways

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.

• 3:45Measured (DSP)90/100Listen at 3:45

  A very smooth transition where the new track's atmosphere replaces the intro's drones almost imperceptibly.

• 8:12Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 8:12

  Solid technical execution. The low-end swap is timed perfectly with the phrase change.

• 13:42Measured (DSP)90/100Listen at 13:42

  Excellent management of the sub-bass handover; the transition is almost imperceptible.

• 18:15Measured (DSP)82/100Listen at 18:15

  Smooth transition focusing on the high-hat and snare patterns.

• 26:42Measured (DSP)88/100Listen at 26:42

  Excellent execution; the tracks are perfectly phase-aligned, creating a seamless transition.

How the score breaks down

SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is TECHNIQUE at 84/100; the weakest is SURPRISE at 71/100.

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 24 points, moving between 20 and 85 on the SOONOS energy scale — a wide dynamic range across the set.

5 transitions were detected and scored individually.

Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 577.2 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 23 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.

Questions about this analysis

What score does Gai Barone's Patterns 689 get?

Patterns 689 scores 74/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (solid), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.

How long is Patterns 689?

The analysed recording runs 1h 24m.

Which part of the mix scores best?

TECHNIQUE is the strongest category at 84/100, while SURPRISE is the lowest at 71/100.

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.
