The CSV contains these aggregate rows only. It contains no account IDs, filenames, audio, file hashes, or row-level reports.
Method
- Include saved scoring-version 3 reports with success or partial overall status in the UTC study window.
- Keep the latest saved report for each non-empty audio hash and analysis mode.
- Use only successful module measurements; warning stereo rows remain eligible for non-correlation fields.
- Give each metric its own valid denominator and suppress any reported, complementary, or excluded cell below the minimum-cell rule.
Mixanalytic suppresses a result unless its reported group, complement and denominator exclusions are either zero or contain at least 50 reports. The report does not publish slices by account, date, genre, country, language, plan, or vocal setting.
Limitations
- The sample covers saved Mixanalytic reports, not every mix or music producer.
- Account deletion, report deletion, and repeat uploads can affect which reports remain in the sample.
- Mixanalytic thresholds are product diagnostics, not universal mastering standards.
- Scoring version 3 is provisional and must not be compared directly with earlier score versions.
These checks describe Mixanalytic's saved-report sample and product thresholds. They do not define one correct sound for every genre or release.
