Mastering Tools
Check loudness, true peak, and practical streaming targets before a track leaves the session.
Frequently asked questions
What loudness level should I master to?
Most streaming platforms normalise to around -14 LUFS integrated. Aim for -14 to -12 LUFS for a loud, competitive master. Aim for -16 to -18 LUFS for more dynamic, audiophile-oriented releases.
What is LRA in mastering?
LRA stands for Loudness Range and measures the dynamic variation between the quietest and loudest parts of a track. Lower LRA means a more compressed, consistent sound. Higher LRA means a wider dynamic range.
