True peak below −1 dBTP
Prevents distortion when your song is converted to MP3/AAC/Ogg for streaming.
Mastering for Spotify
and every streaming service.
Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube adjust volume automatically. For your song to still sound great afterwards, it needs the right loudness and enough headroom against distortion.

Listen: original vs. master
- Original
- -16.0 LUFS
- Master
- -9.0 LUFS
Both versions play in sync. You just switch – no jump, no gap.
Right loudness
Depending on style −9 to −13 LUFS – or exactly −14 LUFS with the "Streaming" preset for maximum dynamics.
Report with streaming table
The mastering report shows how much Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music and co. turn your song up or down.
What does −14 LUFS on Spotify mean?
By default Spotify normalises songs to about −14 LUFS, YouTube too, and Apple Music to about −16 LUFS. A louder master is simply played back quieter – it does not get worse as long as it is mastered cleanly. A master that is too quiet, however, can sound thin.
That is why TrackDropPro does not blindly master to −14 LUFS but to a loudness that suits the style, with a safe true peak. If you want maximum dynamics, choose the "Streaming" preset at −14 LUFS.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to master to exactly −14 LUFS?
No. Spotify only turns louder songs down. What matters is a clean true peak below −1 dBTP so nothing distorts during conversion. For maximum dynamics there is the "Streaming" preset at −14 LUFS.
Where can I see the measurements?
In the master card (measurement report) and in the PDF mastering certificate – with before/after values and a table for all major streaming services.
