How many LUFS should my master be for Spotify?
-14 LUFS
Spotify and Youtube stream audio at around -14 LUFS. If a track has a loudness level of -9.5 LUFS (like AC DC Back In Black) both streaming platforms will decrease the volume of that track to around -14 LUFS. This is GREAT news. It encourages artists to make their music more dynamic and less compressed.
What LUFS does Spotify use?
A process called normalization automatically turns tracks up or down. By default, Spotify plays every track at roughly −14 integrated LUFS. If someone is streaming an album, the full album is normalized to −14 integrated LUFS. That way, intentional dynamic changes between songs are preserved.
What LUFS should I master to?
For broadcast, the recommended standard is -23 LUFS — but that’s different from mastering music for playback. We often make subjective calls about how much dynamic range we want, and we can master to whatever LUFS we want.
Does Spotify increase volume?
Spotify sets the default volume level to Normal. You can set it to Loud. You may notice that besides the loud option it says “might reduce dynamics.” Dynamics refers to the changes between loud and soft in the music. Adjusting the volume to Loud reduces the dynamics.
