If you are releasing your music on streaming services only? Then you might want to consider our Streaming Service option as most of the streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music and Youtube Music etc broadcast music at around -14 to -16 LUFS depending on the service so this means if you have a very loud master they are going to drastically reduce the normalization / bit rates and could reduce quality. We will master and provide you with a track that sounds great with their codex recommended normalization and other requirements. Genres also play a big part in loudness so we will take this in to consideration.
