HOW PRODUCERS USE STREAMING LOUDNESS

Loud Enough.
Still Clean.

Streaming platforms normalize playback, so the loudest master is not always the best master. Check loudness, peaks, dynamics, and translation together.

01

LUFS

LUFS estimates perceived loudness better than peak level alone.

02

True Peak

Keep peak levels safe so codec conversion does not cause clipping.

03

Dynamics

Use crest factor to avoid crushing punch just to chase loudness.

04

References

Compare your record against reference tracks at the same perceived loudness.
