    Probably it's like any other popular platform such a spotify or soundcloud. We can measure by master it like cd level -0.2 true peak and -9 LUFS then observe is there any level change.

    Contacting the service center is probably easier. Out of curiosity I've just done that.

    I would focus more on the mix and tonal aspect of mastering to boost loudness than squshing LUFS. You can make stuff sound louder without crushing everything and it leaves ample headroom for artists that buy your beats who will end up squashing everything later.

    True!
    I think commercial loudness is ok. He can deliver un-mastered version too for artists anyway. I am digging mastering at the moment from all sources that i can find. Loudness with crushed waveforms is awful truth on all platforms. People like listening loud even with their low level devices. I assume it's all about, turning volume down is a valid option in every system but turning up is not.

    Since we couldn't find any hint about it, the most likely answer was also the right one, no LUFS or TP targets, no adjustments.

    So, @FrankWhite23, adjust the LUFS to taste at -1TP and you're good.

    Strange that we should have different values, Metric Halo Loopback vs RME DIGIcheck. I checked with the loopback path with a -1dB generated square wave and got -1dB back.

    Oh well I am not going to waste any more brain power on this, these small sales streaming services can change anything at the whim of the web designer which is why they don't publish stream standards.

    @FrankWhite23

    You should also consider the balance of your mixes. I haven't listened to all of the but thew at top could use a tilt up and a solid bump from the high lows to the middle.

    Good Luck.

    Because of that my volume never is more than one or two ticks into its range when online :(

    So the
    Yeah i know when I'm just checking out other peoples stuff and i go from a louder beat to a quite one even if the quit one is better as far as the beat goes . It just sounds off to me and alot of people find my stuff by listening on shuffle and my beat gets thrown in there. I just have to match what cashmoneyap and those top producers are doing.. obviously I wanna be better but I just gotta keep pushin

    Nothing wrong with that.

    Check the slider at the bottom where the built in player has a volume control. Try as hard as I can I've never gotten you tracks to TP peak below -1 when all the built in slider was all the way up. See if it changes from track to track as well. You tracks are more low end tilted than those you go against so apparent loudness is going to be lower that's not a peak or LU issue that's more of an EQ + Harmonics issue.

    If you want we can take a track of yours and work on it for a bit and point out issue. I don't use FLS so I can't return a project to you with the changes and I don't type very fast (depends on the time of day and how well I am handling things that day.)

    Outside of that, GLB. You have the right attitude, hustle, hustle, hustle and hope you find your way in. Don't forget Local colabs and local shows if you have the connections and the means helps you get a following you can leverage.
