Frequently Asked Questions

TrackLab is a platform where music producers improve, get heard, and get discovered through AI-powered analysis, real feedback from experienced producers, and a collaborative music community.

TrackLab is built for: Beginner producers learning the craft Intermediate producers trying to level up their sound Advanced producers seeking professional feedback DJs, beatmakers, mixing engineers, and artists Producers looking to monetize their expertise as “Ears”

Most platforms give you plays, likes, or random comments. TrackLab focuses on improvement. You get: AI-powered track analysis with TrackIQ Real feedback from vetted producers in your genre Structured growth tools Discovery opportunities A community focused on music production, not vanity metrics

TrackIQ is TrackLab’s AI-powered music analysis engine. It analyzes your track and provides feedback on areas like: Mix clarity Loudness Balance Arrangement Energy flow Genre alignment Dynamics Stereo image Low-end issues Overall production quality

No. TrackIQ is designed to complement human feedback, not replace it. AI is great at detecting technical patterns and production issues, while human producers provide creative insight, emotional feedback, and artistic direction.

Currently supported formats: MP3 WAV AIFF

Most TrackIQ scans are completed within a few minutes.

LabMind is Tracklab's AI synth patch coach. It builds step-by-step patch recipes aligned with a Tracklab vertente (subgenre), timbre role, and mood — for real hardware and registered soft synths. Each recipe includes: Panel parameters with suggested values and rationales Modulation routes Optional sequencer steps (acid/sequencer synths) Performance tips and next steps An interactive panel map when the synth layout is supported

LabMind is available to all logged-in Tracklab users (Creators, Ears, and admins). Each patch generation costs **1 LabCredit** (promotional balance is spent first when available). Open it from the sidebar below **The Lab** at `/labmind`. The full in-app guide is at `/labmind/guide` — tap **Learn more about LabMind** on the LabMind home screen.

Open LabMind and walk through the wizard: 1. Vertente — pick the electronic subgenre 2. Timbre role — bass, lead, pad, pluck, arp, fx, or drone 3. Sentiment — preset mood or your own short description 4. Synth & context — choose synth; optional BPM, key, reference notes 5. Generate patch — wait for the progress bar; review the saved recipe

Built-in hardware lineup: Admins can add custom synths (e.g. Massive-X) via Admin → Labmind Ingest after registering a profile and ingesting manual/RAG content. Arturia MicroFreak Korg Monologue Behringer Pro-1 Behringer K-2 MK2 Behringer TD-3

No. LabMind jump-starts sound design with vertente-aware starting points. Always verify control names on your unit, adjust by ear, and use the official manual for deep architecture. TrackIQ diagnoses finished mixes; LabMind programs synth patches — they complement each other.

Practical tips: Match vertente to your track goal; BPM you enter is treated as authoritative Pick a role suited to the synth (TD-3 is poor for pads; monophonic synths adapt pad recipes) Keep sentiment and reference notes short and focused Use the **Learn more about LabMind** button on the LabMind home screen for the full guide If generation fails once, try again — the server auto-retries and repairs the AI response Check patch history at `/labmind/history` for past recipes

On the LabMind home screen (`/labmind`), tap **Learn more about LabMind** below the wizard — or go directly to `/labmind/guide`. The guide explains workflow, recipe structure, supported synths, glossary, and shows an example patch card.

LiveTrack lets Ears host real-time feedback sessions with ticketed spectators: Hosts choose spectator capacity (1–25) and duration (1–5 hours); creating and hosting a session is free — only spectators pay for tickets. Spectators buy spectator or priority tickets (minimum 3 LabCredits) to watch and use chat. Streaming runs in the browser studio with moderated chat; hosts keep 80% of ticket revenue. Open LiveTrack in the app sidebar, or read the full guide at /live/guide.

Ears and Tracklab admins can host. Any signed-in user can browse Discover and buy tickets.

That is usually audio feedback, not the Studio replaying your mic on purpose. As a host Ear: Wear headphones (prefer wired or USB). Speakers let the mic pick up room audio and create echo. Do not open your event page as a spectator on the same computer — that player plays LIVE audio, including your voice, with delay. Host only from Studio. Turn off Windows “Listen to this device” and lower interface Direct Monitor if it adds delay. Close Discord/OBS/DAW mic monitoring. Full tips: open LiveTrack → guide For Ears → Avoid hearing your own voice (/live/guide?for=ear).

Planned features may include: 1-on-1 mentoring Group feedback sessions Producer challenges Sample and preset marketplaces Label/demo submissions AI music coaching via Labmind Advanced analytics and growth tracking

Absolutely. TrackLab is being built with producers, for producers. User feedback helps shape the platform.
