Release notes

2026.07.31-review-prompt

The review prompt now takes no for an answer

The in-app review card had no close button, no keyboard exit, and no way to opt out. It now asks less, it closes, and it can be switched off permanently.

  • The card has a close button and closes on Escape, without discarding a review you already submitted mid-analysis.
  • "Don't ask again" is saved to your account, so the opt-out survives a cache clear and follows you to another browser.
  • The card opens as a single star rating and only unfolds the rest once you pick one.
  • Returning reviewers are asked again after five more analyses instead of on every upload.
  • Star targets meet the 44px minimum and empty stars now pass non-text contrast.

Analyzer reliability and result consistency improved

A customer challenged analyzer results on polished commercial mixes. We audited the relevant paths and corrected misleading warnings and confident-looking fallback values.

  • Frequency and reference comparisons now use the same scale, removing warnings caused by incompatible normalization.
  • Dynamic-range scoring now uses loudness context, so normal commercial mastering levels are not automatically penalized.
  • File format, bit depth, and channel labels now come from source metadata, while missing evidence is shown as N/A.
  • Thank you to the customer who challenged the results and shared a concrete example for our audit.

Major and minor key detection tightened

Harmonic analysis now checks major and minor key profiles instead of treating the loudest pitch class as the whole key decision.

  • The active analyzer can now return minor keys such as Am instead of only root names.
  • Top key candidates include mode, score, and confidence so close calls are easier to inspect.
  • A benchmark helper can compare known-key audio files before future tuning changes ship.
  • An optional Essentia backend path is wired for controlled testing without changing the default dependency set.

Free scan reminders with account control

Mix Analyzer can now remind eligible accounts when monthly free scans are available again, while account settings include a dedicated switch to turn that reminder off.

  • Account settings now include a Free scan reminders toggle under Preferences.
  • Reminder candidates must be verified, active, inactive for the configured window, and have at least one free full scan ready.
  • Each monthly send writes an audit marker so reruns do not mail the same account twice.
  • The cron wrapper sends a post-run report to the internal hello inbox with sent and failed counts.
