Your judges are 20 parameters like the melody, the rhythm, tempo, pitch, octave, beat, fullness of sound, noise, brilliance, etc.).


The Hit Song Science software compares the sonic characteristics of a new piece of music with a database of the analyzed data of music and determines the similarities. However, there are differents ethics problem with this software which judge your music without be able to analyse the quality of the lyrics or the vogue.
