LUFS Values

[Keni]

I've just started paying attention to the numerical values related to LUFS and I'm wondering how realistic my current work is.

 

I read that online systems tend to alter volume to attain a -14 LUFS.

 

I have typically done very light amounts of compression etc. compared to most commercial material I hear yet I have a LUFS average near -12....

 

So spotify/youtube must be lowering my material 2db?

 

Am I understanding this correctly?

Hi. This is my understanding as well.

If you drag and drop an audio file into https://www.loudnesspenalty.com/

it will tell you how the different streaming services in/decreases the level of your mix.

All the best.
