MIXSCOUT
Quick How-To Guide & Use Cases

Built for people who care about how a room feels.

Streaming apps are designed for passive background listening. MixScout is a guided 3-step curation workbench for selectors, DJs, venue hosts, and crate diggers who sequence music by tempo, energy, obscurity, era, and room vibe.

Quick-Start Guide

How to Use the Studio in 3 Guided Steps

Every session starts with your Active Crate Bar at the top, then walks through three numbered stages:

Follow Along in Studio
  1. Step 01 · AuditionInspect & Clean

    Audit BPM, Camelot Key, Crate Hygiene & Live Queue

    Pick a starter crate in the top Active Crate Bar or tap + Import to paste any Spotify, Deezer, or YouTube playlist URL, tracklist text, or .CSV / .M3U8 file.

    • Filter by Deep Cuts (<25%), Mid-Tier, Hits, Classics (<2005), or click any Camelot Key badge (8A/8B) to filter harmonically compatible tracks.
    • Use 🧹 Hygiene + Dedupe to strip duplicate songs, or toggle Live Queue to deal a ⚡ 3-Track Run and 🎯 Match sonic bridges.
    💡 Tip: Tap the 🧭 Dig Similar icon on any track row to jump straight into Step 02 seeded by that song's BPM and subgenres.
  2. Step 02 · DiscoverDig New Cuts

    Dig by Crate DNA or Single-Track Anchor Seed

    Click Next: 02 · Discover → (or tap 🧭 on any track in Step 01) to dig outside your existing playlist.

    • Choose 🎯 Match Crate Genres (112+ global micro-genres & regional hubs) or 🎤 Crate Artists (deeper catalog cuts from your crate's artists).
    • Tap ⚡ Find Matching Tracks, preview 30s clips with ▶, and add favorites directly into your active crate.
    💡 Tip: Open Radar Settings (Edit ▼) to target specific scenes (e.g., Mexico City, Lagos, London) or release windows.
  3. Step 03 · SequenceSlot & Transitions

    Sequence a Slot-Timed 3-Act Set with Smooth Transitions

    Click Next: 03 · Sequence → to arrange your crate into a 3-Act arc (Warm-Up → Peak Hour → Afterhours) with cumulative +00:00 timestamps.

    • Pick a Set Arc and target Slot Length (45m / 60m / 90m / 2h), or enable Freshness Guard inside Fine-Tune to skip previously played tracks.
    • Inspect the 3-Act Energy & BPM Skyline, check Transition Health pills (🟢 8A→9A), tap Smooth Transitions, and Copy Set Sheet.
    💡 Tip: Use Copy Set Sheet to copy a timestamped (+00:00) booth sheet with BPM, Camelot Key, and transition cues.
Selector Workflows

4 Real-World Ways Selectors Use MixScout

01 · Club, Mobile & Open-Format DJs

Pre-Set Prep, Harmonic Keys & Crate Hygiene

Turn raw streaming playlists into clean, harmonic DJ crates in minutes.

The ChallengeDigging across streaming playlists leaves you blind to Camelot keys, BPM cliffs, duplicate radio edits, and overplayed tracks until you load them into DJ software.
How MixScout Solves It
  • Import any public playlist URL, tracklist text, or .CSV / .M3U8 file into a Studio Crate.
  • In 01 · Audition, inspect exact BPM, Camelot Harmonic Key (8A/8B), Energy/Valence (1–10), Release Year, and Studio Mood — or click any Camelot badge to filter harmonically compatible tracks (±1 & relative major/minor).
  • Use 🧹 Hygiene + 1-Click Dedupe to strip duplicate songs and flag tempo/duration outliers, then export .CSV, .M3U8, or a timestamped (+00:00) Booth Set Sheet.

02 · Social Venues, Bars & Lounge Selectors

Live Queue & Room Vibe Control

Read the room and queue the right 3-song run without killing the vibe.

The ChallengeIn a bar, patio, or lounge setting, obscure 8-minute club bootlegs, clashing tempos, and overplayed top-40 burnouts clear the room fast.
How MixScout Solves It
  • In 01 · Audition, toggle Live Queue Mode and pick the current Room Vibe (Patio Warm-Up, Crowd Singalong, Cool Bar Groove, or Peak Room Energy).
  • Activate Sweet Spot (40–88% popularity & under 5:30 duration) to automatically hide obscure cuts and marathon mixes.
  • Deal a ⚡ 3-Track Run (Warm-Up → Groove → Peak) with 3 distinct artists, or tap 🎯 Match on any song to rank harmonic + BPM bridges.

03 · Playlist Curators, Resident DJs & Music Supervisors

Single-Track Digging & Slot-Timed 3-Act Sequencing

Dig from a single anchor track and sequence sets to your exact slot length.

The ChallengeStandard streaming recommendations recycle the same hits, give you no control over a 60-minute vs. 2-hour slot runtime, and repeat tracks you already played last week.
How MixScout Solves It
  • Filter any crate by Deep Cuts (<25% pop), Mid-Tier (25–79%), Hits (80+%), or Classics (<2005) — or tap 🧭 on any track row to dig similar cuts in 02 · Discover.
  • In 03 · Sequence, pick a target slot length (45m / 60m / 90m / 2h) and enable Residency Freshness Guard to exclude tracks from last week’s crate or tonight’s played list.
  • Inspect the 3-Act Energy & BPM Skyline, check row-by-row Transition Health pills (🟢 +2 BPM · 8A→9A, 🟡 ½×), and tap Smooth Transitions to eliminate tempo cliffs.

04 · Cross-Platform Collectors & Crate Archivers

Platform-Agnostic Music Ownership

Keep your curated crates portable across every streaming & DJ ecosystem.

The ChallengePlaylists get trapped inside a single streaming service, making it painful to switch platforms, print booth show notes, or collaborate with friends on different apps.
How MixScout Solves It
  • Open any track directly in Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, TIDAL, Amazon Music, Beatport, Bandcamp, or SoundCloud.
  • Copy a timestamped (+00:00) Booth / Show Notes Set Sheet with Camelot Keys, BPM, and transition cues in one click.
  • Download universal .CSV and .M3U8 backups or share zero-login Crate Links so your curation is never locked into one platform.
