About Loudness Normalization
Most modern platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music apply automatic loudness normalization to prevent listeners from having to adjust their volume constantly. If you submit audio that is too quiet, the platform will boost it (potentially introducing clipping distortion). If you submit audio that is too loud, they will turn it down. Our presets are mathematically calibrated to optimize your audio for these platform dynamics, preserving punch and warmth without triggering server compressors.
