HOW PRODUCERS USE TRUE PEAK

Loud Masters.
Cleaner Exports.

True peak helps catch peaks that can appear between digital samples after conversion, encoding, limiting, or streaming compression.

01

Limiter Ceiling

Set your limiter ceiling low enough to avoid codec clipping and inter-sample distortion.

02

Streaming

Use safer true peak margins for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and social uploads.

03

Codec Safety

MP3, AAC, and streaming encoders can create extra peaks after export.

04

Master Checks

Compare true peak with LUFS, RMS, crest factor, and what you hear.
