:) I'm still learning about LUFS and perceived loudness! I love your cue, though, and since it didn't distort for me when I played it, I don't imagine you'll have any problems from the compression!

Cheers,
Merry

Hi Marion

Thank you for your feedback, it's appreciated😊.
It's true that the music is a little more squashed in the last chorus. It's the price you pay when you want your level to compare with the rest of the industry.
I try to aim for -9 -10 LUFS as my peak level and that's middle off the road, compared to others.

All the Best

Wow, -9/-10 is loud! I usually do -13 and nobody has ever complained. Also, all streaming services limit their LUFS at between -12 and -14, nowadays
A library I'm working with is demanding that my master is around -9 -10 LUFS.
It's true that all streaming services limit their LUFS to around -14, but even that can sound different from song to song because of perceived loudness, but that's a bigger subject that deserves its own threadπŸ˜‚.

All the best

Is that library called "Ear Destroyers"?? :lol: To be fair, me and my mate got both asked by the same library we work with to make our stuff as loud as possible. Now, it could work for my Urban Dramedy stuff, but my mate's Ambient Piano?? :P

For tracks that are not beat-driven, I always go for a lower LUFS, like -12 -13.

I'm also learning all the time, but try not to overthink it too muchπŸ˜‚.
I'm glad that you like my cue, thanksπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘.
