Universal Streaming Mastering Online (−14 LUFS)

If your track doesn't fit a specific genre preset, or you just want a universal streaming-ready master, Stream Standard is the choice. Magic Master 2.0 targets the track at −14 LUFS — a level that has become the de facto standard for Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and most modern loudness-normalization platforms.

The engine applies balanced multiband dynamics without genre extremes, careful target EQ for a natural tonal balance, and a final limiter with a guaranteed True Peak no higher than −1 dBTP — this prevents distortion when streaming services transcode to lossy formats (AAC, MP3).

• −14 LUFS isn't a "rule" but a guideline: most platforms normalize loudness anyway, so sound quality matters more than the loudness race.
• Check your final track with the LUFS analyzer to confirm it matches the target.
• The difference between platforms and their LUFS targets is covered in detail in our blog post about LUFS.
