Music Test Basics Series: Test One Song Twice

Here's a helpful tip.

At least one song should appear two times in your AMT. Place it in the first half of the test and again in the second.

Why?

First, you'll see how different the two results are. Hopefully, they are similar (be sure and use the same hook).

But the second reason may be even more important.

Doing this can allow us to verify that the data was handled properly. Virtually without fail, a song that is tested twice will cluster most closely with its second test.

I always check. If it doesn't, we know to backtrack and triple check that we didn't make a processing error.

It is a simple and effective internal check.
