Something I've never really considered in all my years recording is wrapped around these new 'requirements' for the streaming platforms - LUFS.

Hi
I've used a couple of mastering engineers over the years but have been using one more recently over the last year, he is someone I know too.

Today Ive just sat down to put a compilation of mastered songs together (level matching them myself).

Are there proof that spotify normalize audio at -14LUFS?
I did some empirical A/B comparison between mp3s donwloaded on my pc and audio streamed on spotify.

I choosed this quite loud songs on pourpose:

Hi gang,

I've been reading a lot about mastering for different distribution method and I'm just not finding a clear answer. What LUFS target should we use for different media ?

Here's 2 I read :
-13 LUFS for youtube
-8 LUFS for CD
? Vevo
? Websites
? Radio
...

Have you guys evaluated the reverb plugins for TDM systems?
Seems Altiverb and Lexicon really rules. However, Lexiverd is not available for PT HD systems, right?
If anyone has already used Altiverb, is it really power hungry?

Thanks
