Star Spangled Banner — Marvin Gaye

Real movement and dynamics. Most listeners are fine; very sensitive listeners may want to preview first.

“Smooth, soulful vocals with stretched phrasing and rhythmic groove create an engaging, swaying flow without harsh edges. Subtle beat box accompaniment adds gentle layers, building to a climactic, breathy release that captivates without overwhelming.”

⚠ Volume trap. The quiet and loud parts sit far apart. If you set a comfortable level during a soft passage, the peak may spike hard — set your volume for the loud parts.

How to read the result

Safe means gentle and steady — low dynamic swing, no lurches, soft texture. Moderate means there's real movement; most people are fine, but very sensitive listeners may want to preview. Intense means loud dynamics, sharp textures, or sudden changes — approach with care.

The single most useful number is dynamic range. A high value means the quiet parts and loud parts are far apart — the classic trap where you set a comfortable volume during a soft intro and get blasted at the climax. We flag those.
