This is true, although it is too hot for my taste. I don't mind sounding quieter on my personal material, I am not competing with anybody else. I want my music to sound good instead. To each their own. ;) Having that said, if one offers mastering services to other artists/bands/labels, then this advice matters, cos people tend to freak out about relative loudness and sounding quieter might upset clients. Uneducated people, unfortunately.
I think the main concern is for upcoming artists to get their music heard amongst playlists. The loudness war is somewhat at play, the listeners are less likely to notice your song when it seems quieter to everything else in the playlist.
Yeah, I keep it between 7.5 and 8.5. It does depend on the genre i.e. the energy density of the material though. I have a note above one of my albums on Spotify in the edit, saying to take off that normalization, sadly that is a default setting that is turned on, most users don't explore their settings. Though it's meant to keep the shock down between older recordings and today's recordings for example.
I'm curious as the tracks I just referenced seem to be hitting -6 with short term hitting -4! Is that the norm for top end masters or just a particularly loud selection of tracks?
Depend of the track you make.....you dont want acoustic track to be this loud ...if you have some kimd of high energy tech house track u wana make it loud as possible
Did this and my acoustic track blew my eardrums out.
LooooooL 😂
I ignore Spotify in general... Have a good week Professor and fellow artist..

I knew it! Who told us -14? Drake’s songs always sounded louder than mine. I was always scared of death by Spotify‘s compression.
-8 is a sweet spot I found. This video just confirmed it for me. Thanks!
