    Key takeaways

    What weakened the set

    • Long static loops (6×) — Sections sitting on the same loop without layering, EQ moves or tension shifts (0:00, 10:00, 30:00, 36:00, 40:00, 48:00). 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.

    • 4:12Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 4:12

      Flawless transition that maintains the percussive energy perfectly.

    • 8:30Measured (DSP)85/100Listen at 8:30

      Smooth transition, though a slight mid-range overlap was audible for 2 bars.

    • 17:25Measured (DSP)82/100Listen at 17:25

      Intentional reset

    • 24:08Measured (DSP)72/100Listen at 24:08

      Minor low-end clash during the handover, but the groove remains intact.

    • 28:42Measured (DSP)92/100Listen at 28:42

      Excellent execution; the new track enters exactly on the drop with perfect energy matching.

    How the score breaks down

    SOONOS scores this set across 5 weighted categories. The strongest is IDENTITY at 80/100; the weakest is TECHNIQUE at 55/100.

    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 33 points, moving between 60 and 85 on the SOONOS energy scale — a moderate dynamic range across the set.

    7 transitions were detected and scored individually.

    Beat-grid measurement (DSP) reports 2376.7 grid breaks per hour, with a median beat offset of 202 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 wAFF's NATURECAST 008 - FUNK CARTEL get?
    NATURECAST 008 - FUNK CARTEL scores 66/100 in the SOONOS Mix Database (developing), based on audio measurement plus multi-agent listening.
    How long is NATURECAST 008 - FUNK CARTEL?
    The analysed recording runs 1h 00m.
    Which part of the mix scores best?
    IDENTITY is the strongest category at 80/100, while TECHNIQUE is the lowest at 55/100.
    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.
