The honest read

Needs polish

Fix this first

Your sub is +4.2 dB hotter than the kick. That's the muddiness you keep hearing on small speakers — and exactly what nobody told you.

Inside one report

Four reads. Plain english.

No spectrogram homework. Every measurement is translated into the language you actually think in — loud, heavy, wide, punchy — and held against what real releases in your genre do.

Power / Impact

Loudness

Loud enough to sit next to label releases without clipping. We measure against genre, not a generic −14.

−7.8 LUFS

AVG: −8.0

Heavy / Bass

Sub Balance

Sub-to-mid-bass energy. Heavy hits hard on a system but turns to mud on earbuds. This one's hot.

+4.2 dB

Heavy ratio

Dynamics

DR Range

Peak-to-loudness ratio. Below 8 means the limiter is eating your punch. Most dance tracks live at 8–12.

6 PLR

Compressed

Emotional Vibe

Vibe Check

Punchy & physical — the mix and the feel agree. Clean the low end and it breathes.

PUNCHY

Sub-Heavy

Spectral balance

Where it's off, exactly.

Every frequency band measured against the genre curve. The red bars are where your mix drifts furthest — here, a hot sub and a dull top end. No guessing which EQ move comes next.

The priority fix

The one thing to fix next.

We don't bury you in forty problems. BeatRecap finds the single change that moves your score the most and tells you exactly how to make it — “Your sub is +4.2 dB hotter than the kick. Carve 3 dB around 40–60 Hz and the whole mix tightens.” That's the note your friends were never going to give you.

How it works

From hunch to fix in three steps.

01

Drop a track

WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3. We auto-detect your subgenre, or pick it yourself.

02

Get the honest read

A 0–100 score and a full 8-dimension breakdown in about 60 seconds.

03

Fix the one thing

We spotlight the single change that moves the score most. Re-upload, watch it climb.

Eight dimensions

Every question you can't answer by ear.

Each one scored, compared to your genre, and ranked so you know what to touch first.

Loudness

As loud as real releases?

Low-End Balance

Does the sub fight the kick?

Frequency Balance

Where the spectrum drifts off-genre.

Stereo Width

Mono-safe, or collapsing on a club PA?

Transients

Punch, or smeared by the limiter?

Dynamic Range

Breathing room, or crushed flat?

Groove Density

Busy or sparse against the genre.

Arrangement

Intro, breakdown and drop timing.

Calibrated, not generic

Judged against your genre — not a loudness meter.

A minimal house roller and a peak-time melodic record are not supposed to measure the same. BeatRecap scores each track against the real targets of its subgenre — or auto-detects which one you're in.

Minimal House

Kolter · Toman · Sidney Charles

Deep House

Chris Stussy · M-High · Shur-i-kan

Tech House

PAWSA · Dennis Cruz · Cloonee

Afro House

Black Coffee · Themba · Da Capo

Melodic House

Anyma · Massano · Ben Böhmer

Energy & arrangement

β

Your hardest hit lands at 0:40. That's the problem.

We map intensity across the whole track so you can see its shape — every build, breakdown and drop. The peak should be a place you arrive at, not the first thing that happens. Here the energy crests early and spends the rest of the track chasing it.

Track intensity over time

What the shape says

Your first drop is the loudest moment of the whole track. The second one lands quieter, so the back half feels like a comedown — that's where the floor thins out. Hold something back early so the 2:30 drop can top it.

Stop guessing.
