Frequently Asked Questions
What is LUFS?
Loudness Units relative to Full Scale — the standard for measuring perceived loudness. Streaming platforms normalize to specific targets (Spotify: -14 LUFS, Apple Music: -16 LUFS).
What is the difference between LUFS-I, LUFS-M, and LUFS-S?
Integrated (I) measures the entire track. Momentary (M) uses a 400ms window. Short-term (S) uses a 3-second window. Streaming platforms use Integrated for normalization.
What LUFS target should I aim for?
Spotify normalizes to -14 LUFS, Apple Music to -16 LUFS, YouTube to -14 LUFS. Master to -14 LUFS for the best cross-platform result without excessive loudness penalty.
