I really don’t understand the confusion in this thread; it was immediately apparent to me what the purpose of this tool was after reading the headline, the UI elements are sensible and intuitive, it’s use case is unique and sound (no pun intended). Great job OP, a pretty cool project to have under one’s own belt.

I've read the website and all the comments and I'm still totally lost. Guess that means I'm not the target audience? To me a "music drop" is when someone releases a highly anticipated new song.

  that's "Dropping a new track"; a "drop" in a song is the part where the music stops and then comes back with more energy/whatever. example (tongue in cheek) https://youtu.be/CJzfTZlEl40?t=38 https://youtu.be/CJzfTZlEl40?t=38 drop is at 0:41-0:43

    Lifelong musician - I thought from the title that it meant dropping a track on spotify at a specific release time. (I imagined, like, putting out one song from a new album at midnight every night). Most people I know would call this a "break", as in the build-up to where the beat breaks. Probably a generational thing.

      Also lifelong musician and knew immediately what it meant. "The drop" is fundamentally different but not unrelated to a break - indeed typically it's after a break. ("break" and "breakbeat" are also overloaded terms, particularly in electronic music)

  The drop within a song is what happens after a build up.

  The (beat) "drop" is genre term for a buildup of tension, sharp pause, and then suddenly resuming at greater intensity/tempo. Usually associated with EDM/dubstep. E.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db5f-A-vSyw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db5f-A-vSyw (drop at 0:45 seconds in the video, thought the countdown to New years that takes up most of the stage should make that obvious anyway).... Thought it's certainly not a new thing - plenty of classical music has similar moments, e.g. the 3rd movement to Beethoven's 5th symphony: https://youtu.be/xAQFJ1YpFaI?t=279 https://youtu.be/xAQFJ1YpFaI?t=279 ("drop" at 5:05 when the horns blast their way in...)
