A tool that tracks a DJ's hands to decode how a set was mixed

Learning to DJ, the author asked Opus 5.5 to break down a favourite set. It built hand tracking to see which controls were touched, then cross-checked them against the audio spectrogram to identify effects, loops and transitions.

I’m learning to DJ. I gave Opus 5.5 a set I loved and asked it to break it down.

It made a tool to track the DJ’s hands to see which controls he was touching, then cross-checked it against the audio spectrogram to identify fx, loops, transitions.

Everyone should be using AI to constantly learn new things.
