#Use izotope insight to measure itunes and spotify how to
This mastering engineer will tell you everything you need to know about EDM (or not) Mastering and how to make things right when exporting/uploading to streaming sites.Ībout sending masters to big labels like Spinnin', I'd say you should stick to the basic EBU128 and Red Book (understand CD standard) rules, they'd take it from here if they provide you any online release. This is a start of answer to your topic.Īlso, I very, very highly recommend you to watch tons of videos from Ian Shepherd : For example YouTube normalize everything (not only music videos) at 8PLR, while the LuFS value can be really different. You need to watch some data on PLR value and what it does, LuFS isn't enough to properly monitor, measure and compare loudness especially for online streaming. I really tried to ask you with less words, less confusion I hope I could do it! Thanks.
So how the fuck it sounds same the mp3 file with in spotify and youtube in terms of loudness and dynamic range!? -4 LUFS means it will brought down to -14 LUFS when its transferred to Spotify, it means the track should be destroyed ( I means over compressed, distorted etc).but how the fuck it doesnt happens? Because he has multiple mastered versions for each platform maybe? I analyzed songs from R3hab (mp3 files) with Izotope İnsight, and I see his songs are generally between -4 and -6 LUFS in the chorus/drop parts. I understood from my searchings that my dynamics will be kiled yes? If yes, why the fuck these platforms do this instead of just bringing the tracks to the same level by like for example a simple gain adding or reduction settings? I know, because to get all the tracks to same loudness level but, because of they do it mastered track will sound different from itunes radio to spotify to etc in terms of dynamics and loudness. So it means these platforms do the second mastering for my song? Thats why, I should bring my LUFS to the right level with these platforms? If I dont do it, for example if I make it too loud (-5 LUFS maybe),it will be brought down to the standard LUFS level by the platform (spotify for example). I didn't understand it perfectly but I think these platforms uses some technologies (Ebu 128 one of them maybe?) and these tech let these platforms to bring all the tracks to same volume level (normalizing?). So it means it is impossible to make a one mastered track file which is perfect for all of these platforms (Same dynamic range, peaks, rms etc) ? If yes, I should take the average of the LUFS values of the platforms I would like to publish in for the right LUF value? If not, is it possible to create multiple mastered track versions for each platform? Will the label company let me do it, or the company will want it from me or the company will do it for me without asking ( For example Spinning records)? itunes brings the tracks to about -18 LUFS, (everybody says different value Idk who to trust?) I searched on google and forums and youtube channels and found out that: I need help from mastering engineers or wise people around you.Here are the questions:
