Loudness
LUFS, true peak, and real target-loudness numbers for streaming, club, and mastering contexts.
How Loud Should a Master Be?
Real target LUFS ranges for streaming vs. club/DJ contexts, why louder isn't actually louder on normalized platforms, and how this site's own mastering profiles set their targets.
True Peak Explained
True peak vs. sample peak: why a track can measure fine in your DAW and still clip after conversion, how true peak is actually estimated, and what dBTP means.
What Is LUFS?
LUFS explained precisely: the actual measurement standard behind it, why it tracks perceived loudness better than peak or RMS, and what the number in your analyzer means.
