What weakened the set

Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (16:00, 20:00, 26:00, 31:00, 37:00, 43:00). Long loops kill dancefloor momentum.

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.
