PLN relayed the gig's main criticism: 'destructure. les gens etaient un peu
perdu' — individually good tracks, overall confusing. And his own read of it:
'I DIDNT KEEP THE KICK LONG ENOUGH.'

Measured against the stems, the floor and the data say the same thing. Kick (d1)
audible 59% of the set; 13 of 15 tracks under 70%; a 164-second kickless stretch
inside 'Am i Doing it Right' and 116s inside 'Piment Bresilien'. The set runs
89-166 BPM, so anything built on this must count BARS, not seconds.

Also logged, from the REVOLUTION listen: his first guess was wrong and his
second was right. Re-ranking the orbits in the band a laptop actually
reproduces (400Hz-8k) puts the_revolution (d5) on top by 13.7 dB, while
like_sugar:21 (d10) — the one he wanted cut — sits 14.5 dB BELOW it and is
quieter on a laptop than it is full-range. On a small speaker the loudest thing
is the one that SURVIVES the band, not the one with the highest fader.

And a defect nobody was looking for: d9 SUGAR CHOIR is digital silence for the
whole of REVOLUTION though the score declares it, confirmed by two independent
measurements. That one is why he now wants the HUD to shout about declared-but-
never-played orbits until they sound.
