Bulk Track Analysis: Analyze a Whole EP at Once

What Is Bulk Track Analysis?

Bulk track analysis lets you queue several tracks and score them in one pass instead of uploading them one at a time. In TrackScore™, Pro and Studio members can drop up to 20 tracks into the dashboard and get a full analysis — Hit Potential score, six category scores, mix metrics, frequency breakdown, and Klaus™ feedback — for every single one.

It's built for the moment most producers dread: you've finished an EP or album and you need to know whether the tracks hang together before they go to mastering or a label. Instead of feeding them in one by one and trying to hold seven scorecards in your head, you queue the whole release and let TrackScore work through it.

Why Analyze a Whole EP at Once

A single track can sound great in isolation and still feel wrong on a release. The most common reason a finished EP gets sent back is inconsistency: track 2 is two dB louder than track 4, the kick on the opener is fatter than everything that follows, one cut is noticeably wider than the rest. Listeners feel it as “something's off” even when they can't name it.

Analyzing the whole release at once turns that gut feeling into numbers you can act on. When every track's integrated LUFS, dynamic range, stereo width, and frequency balance is on the table side by side, the outlier jumps out immediately. You fix the one track that's pulling away from the set instead of guessing — and you do it before the mastering engineer has to paper over it.

How Bulk Upload Works

Bulk upload lives on your dashboard, right alongside the single-track drop zone. The flow is designed to be hands-off once you start it:

  1. Drop your tracks — Select or drag up to 20 files into the bulk panel. WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and MP3 are all supported, up to 200 MB and 20 minutes each. Mix formats freely.
  2. Review the queue — TrackScore checks each file before anything uploads. Valid tracks are queued; anything in the wrong format or over the size limit is flagged so it never burns a credit. You see how many credits the batch will use up front.
  3. Start the batch — TrackScore works through the queue a few tracks at a time, advancing only as each one finishes. There's no manual baby-sitting — you can watch live progress or step away.
  4. Read the results — Each track lands its own complete analysis. Open any one for the full breakdown and written Klaus diagnosis, or scan the batch summary to compare scores across the release.

If you queue more tracks than your credit balance covers, TrackScore analyzes everything your credits cover and clearly marks the rest as waiting on credits — you decide whether to top up and run them. Nothing is charged for a track that doesn't complete.

What You Get for Every Track

Bulk analysis is not a stripped-down preview. Every track in the batch gets the exact same full analysis as a single upload:

  • Hit Potential score — the overall A+ to F grade, plus six category scores: frequency balance, dynamics, stereo width, mix quality, danceability, and structure.
  • Mix metrics — integrated and short-term LUFS, dynamic range, crest factor, stereo width, true peak, and clipping.
  • Frequency breakdown — a seven-band spectrum scored against your genre-specific ideal profile, not a generic curve.
  • Klaus feedback — a written diagnosis with the specific issues to fix, why they matter, and a priority order.

TrackScore scores against nine genre-specific profiles — Deep House, Tech House, Melodic House / Progressive, Peak-Time Techno, Minimal / Deep Techno, Bass Music / Dubstep, Drum & Bass, Trance / Progressive Trance, and a general electronic profile — so an EP of deep house tracks is held to the deep-house target, not a one-size curve.

Using It to Tighten EP Consistency

Once the batch finishes, the real value is the comparison. Here's a practical pass for a release:

  1. Line up the loudness — Scan integrated LUFS across the set. If most tracks sit near -8 LUFS and one lands at -11, that's your outlier. Pre-masters will read quieter than masters, so compare like with like.
  2. Check the low end track to track — Sub-bass and bass energy that swings wildly between tracks is the fastest way to make a release feel disjointed on a club system. Aim for a consistent shape, with room for intentional contrast.
  3. Watch the stereo width spread — One track that's dramatically wider than the rest will feel like it belongs to a different record. Pull the outliers toward the set.
  4. Fix the lowest scorer first — Open the track with the weakest grade, work the Klaus checklist, and re-run it. Bringing the floor up usually does more for a release than polishing the track that's already strongest.

When you want to verify a fix on one track, that's what Bounce Check is for — it's a per-track A/B that compares a new bounce against its previous version. Bulk upload covers the wide view across distinct tracks; Bounce Check covers the deep view on a single one.

Who Can Use Bulk Upload

Bulk upload is a Pro and Studio feature — the tiers built for producers shipping at volume. The credit math lines up cleanly with a release workflow:

PlanMonthly creditsBulk upload
Single / PacksPay as you goOne track at a time
Starter5 / monthOne track at a time
Pro20 / monthUp to 20 / batch
Studio100 / monthUp to 20 / batch

A Pro plan's 20 monthly credits cover a full 20-track batch; Studio gives you 100 credits a month for analyzing across multiple releases. If you're on a pack or Starter today, upgrading to Pro or Studio unlocks the bulk queue automatically — no separate purchase. See the full plan comparison for details.

Your Unreleased EP Stays Private

Uploading a whole unreleased release at once raises an obvious question: where does all that audio go? With TrackScore, nowhere. Every track in a batch runs through the same zero-storage pipeline as a single analysis — the audio is processed in memory, the scores are written to your account, and the raw bytes are discarded. No files on disk, no cloud bucket, no training data. Your unreleased EP leaves your machine only long enough to be measured.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bulk track analysis?

Bulk track analysis lets you queue multiple tracks and score them in a single pass instead of uploading one at a time. In TrackScore, Pro and Studio members can drop up to 20 tracks into the dashboard and get a full analysis — scores, mix metrics, frequency breakdown, and Klaus feedback — for every one.

How many tracks can I analyze at once?

Up to 20 tracks per batch. That covers a single, an EP, or a full album in one queue. TrackScore works through them a few at a time and shows live progress as each finishes.

Do I need a subscription to use bulk upload?

Bulk upload is a Pro and Studio feature. Single-credit, pack, and Starter members analyze one track at a time. If you upgrade to Pro or Studio, the bulk queue unlocks automatically on your dashboard.

How many credits does a bulk batch use?

One credit per track — exactly the same as analyzing each one individually. A 6-track EP uses 6 credits. If you queue more tracks than your balance covers, TrackScore analyzes what your credits cover and flags the rest so you never lose a credit to an unfinished run.

Does bulk upload store my audio?

No. Every track in a batch is processed in memory and the bytes are discarded after scoring — the same zero-storage architecture used for single analyses. Your unreleased EP is never written to disk or used to train any model.

What file formats does bulk upload support?

WAV, AIFF, FLAC, and MP3, up to 200 MB and 20 minutes per file — the same formats and limits as a single analysis. You can mix formats in one batch.
