Beatport Launches New Software Designed to Identify Music Played in Clubs
The tool is called Track ID, and it can identify tracks even if the audio has been manipulated
Beatport, the DJ and dance music platform, has launched Track ID. Similar to Shazam, this function can identify tracks being played externally, but unlike Shazam, it can find proper tracks even if they’ve been altered with effects or layered with other tracks.
How it works:
The function is available in the Beatport mobile app.
To use it, tap the Track ID icon.
Once the track is identified, it will be added to a history with every other track identified on the user's account.
Those tracks can then be streamed, added to Beatport playlists, or purchased in the Beatport store.
The details:
The app was designed to capture tracks in clubs even when DJs manipulate the audio.
Using AI-powered audio cleaning, Track ID will pick up the correct song even if the following alterations are applied:
Pitch-shifting through increasing or decreasing the tempo.
Tracks that are layered.
Recognizing remixes.
Working in very loud environments.
