    Hi guys, i heard K-system is not a great way to meter perceived loudness. Do you agree?

    I like the K-systems. K-12 usually. It's nice to not mix "towards a meter".
    My mixes (and thus, my masters) has become better since I first adopted it.

    I always use LU metering for music straight from the beginning of the project, since conforming with todays’s streaming platforms’ requests is a very big deal.

    Yea i guess its better than using a plain old vu meter. Mixing to the K system can yield pretty good results and enhance your mix and masters. But its just another tool and certainly not the definitive answer for what you seek
