New: track your mix versions with Mix Timeline - Mix Analyzer blog
Keep the report for each export in view. Use the results to decide what to listen for; the score does not decide which version you should release.

What changed

Shipped in this update

  • New song and New mix version make the upload destination explicit, with a searchable song list.
  • Timeline sits near the result score, with a next-version upload action and an exact return to your analysis.
  • Repeated analyses of a byte-identical file in the same account and mode stay under one export; original scores stay unchanged.
  • Free shows the first two distinct saved versions per song; Supporter shows all saved versions in Timeline.

You make a new export, analyze it and edit the mix again. After a few rounds, you need to find the report for each version and see what changed between them.

Mix Timeline brings a song's saved analysis reports into one history. You can browse mix versions, choose a report as a baseline and open its results. The upload choice connects the next export to the right song. From Timeline, you can return to the exact analysis you came from.

Connect the next export to the right song

At upload, choose New song or New mix version. New song is the default for a song you are starting to analyze.

Choose New mix version for a new export of a song you have already analyzed. You can search your own songs and select one before starting. The list includes only songs that fit the selected analysis mode, so you do not need a filename that happens to match an older export.

If the selected song is no longer available when the analysis finishes, Mix Analyzer saves your report as a new song and shows a warning. You keep the delivered report.

From a saved result, choose Upload next version to prepare that song and its analysis mode for your next file.

Browse your mix history

The NEW · Timeline View link near the result score opens that song's history in your dashboard.

Timeline shows one selected report at a time. Use Older and Newer, jump to a date or select a version in the chronological list. Reading an earlier report does not start another analysis.

You can also add or detach an export in Timeline if it belongs in a different group. Keep separate songs apart and collect the versions that belong together.

Choose a baseline for comparison

Pin a report as your baseline to follow later versions against the same starting point. The baseline stays selected while you browse the page.

Timeline shows a score-change delta only for reports with the same known scoring version, analysis mode and genre setting, and different files. If these details are missing or different, or both reports describe the same file, it shows no comparable delta. You may still see the report scores.

A scoring-system change should not look like a change you made to the mix. Our scoring-version article explains that boundary. Use the results to choose what to investigate and listen for; the score does not decide which export you should release.

A repeated analysis is not another mix version

Analyze a byte-identical file again in the same account and analysis mode, and the report stays under the original export. It does not use another Timeline version slot, and the original report scores stay unchanged.

This checks the uploaded file, not song recognition or whether two exports sound alike. A new export can count as a new version if its file bytes change, even if it sounds the same. Browsing Timeline does not rewrite your saved reports.

Return to the exact analysis you came from

At the top of Timeline, Back to your analysis appears when you opened history from one of your saved results.

The button opens that source report, even after you browse other versions or switch song groups. You do not need to find it again in the list.

Free and Supporter

Free shows the first two distinct saved mix versions per song in Timeline. The third version brings a Supporter offer. Supporter opens all saved versions in the timeline.

You can still open later individual reports separately in your account. The Timeline limit does not delete them. An analysis of the same unchanged file in the same analysis mode does not count as another mix version, but it follows the normal rules for starting an analysis.

Keep your exports and project files

Timeline stores report history. Mix Analyzer deletes the source audio after analysis, so keep your exports and project files yourself. Timeline does not restore audio files, play them back or undo changes in your DAW. Read how we handle audio and saved results.

Thank you for the feedback on unclear navigation and repeated analyses. Those questions helped us make the connection between an export, its report and its history easier to follow.

Next step: make a change you want to evaluate, export the mix and choose New mix version at the next upload. Then open Mix Timeline from your result and compare it with the report before the change.
