![]() ![]() ![]() In that case, the client won’t need the -8 lufs master (besides, a quiet acoustic track squashed to -8 lufs would usually sound terrible!). If it’s sparsely arranged music with loud vocals, the -14 lufs master will compete with a busy/dense/buried-vocal -8 lufs master. Then they’d do another release, uploading the -8 lufs “loud” masters, and choose all the other distribution partners.ĭepends on the genre too. So, they’d upload the -14 lufs “dynamic” masters then choose only spotify, youtube, amazon, pandora, tidal, and deezer as their distribution partners. Using the 2 sets of masters means the artist has to pay their aggregator (cdbaby, tunecore etc) for 2 releases. To get around this problem, I offer masters at 2 levels for my clients: a “dynamic” master at roughly -14 lufs and a “loud” master at roughly -8 lufs (I say “roughly” because on an album, some songs will need to be quieter/louder than others - some of the normalising vendors measure the whole album to keep the relative volumes intact). ![]() Pretty much all the other online vendors aren’t, so on those platforms, your -14 lufs master will potentially be 6 to 8db quiter than other artist’s masters. The problem is that only spotify, youtube, amazon, pandora, tidal, and deezer are normalising.
