The Problem

Audio creators face unpredictable loudness changes when streaming platforms normalize their tracks. Dynamic mixes often sound inconsistent, quieter, or degraded after processing, with each platform applying different LUFS targets. This results in poor playback quality, wasted mastering revisions, and frustrated listeners.

Potential Solution

A DAW plugin and cloud-based tool that simulates real-time platform-specific loudness normalization, enabling A/B testing against references. Features intelligent optimization suggestions, batch processing for large libraries, and one-click export presets calibrated for each streaming service's unique processing pipeline.

Why Now?

With 100K+ daily track uploads and platforms like Spotify recently adding lossless audio, loudness standards are more fragmented than ever. Creators need precision tools to ensure consistent playback as platforms continuously evolve their audio processing algorithms.

LANDR - For Music Makers

The Best Master! I’ve been using LANDR AI Mastering for all of my keyboard cover recordings, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The mastering process is incredibly fast, easy to use, and consistently delivers a polished, professional sound. As an independent musician, I don’t have access to an expensive mastering studio, so LANDR has become an essential part of my workflow. It adds clarity, balance, warmth, and punch to my mixes while preserving the

Youtube (and streaming service) normalization for albums is kinda bad

Streaming pllatforms apply normalization to all tracks based on integrated LUFS value. For instance, Youtube's target loudness is set at -14 LUFS-I. The implications of this when uploading an album is that each track will be normalized at -14 LUFS-I. The problem with integrated LUFS readings is that it can't tell the difference between tracks that are dynamic (i.e. have quiet and loud parts) vs. tracks that are at a consistent volume throughout its entirety. I notice this effect when listening to [Stairway to Heaven](youtube.com/.../watch). The climax section at around the 6 minute mark is considerably louder than the loudest parts of the other songs on the album. I listened to [Rock and Roll](youtube.com/.../watch) and I noticed it sounded much quieter than the Stairway to Heaven climax. I double-checked on Reaper and measured LUFS values from the Youtube rips and found that the maximum short-term LUFS differs significantly on both tracks while having the same integrated LUFS value at -14. I want to ask the mastering engineers out there if this is something that you take into consideration when exporting your masters for distribution. Do you create a separate "streaming platform master" that takes the phenomenon I mentioned into account? Or do you just aim for a good master and don't care about loudness normalization for streaming platforms?
