Anyone seen this site?
It's a nice concept, but I'm still not sold on what all these companies are saying about loudness on streaming sites.
For instance, I personally know and own masters of a couple of albums that were mastered to just around the -14 LUFS target that is being touted for streaming. And when I put those songs into this web site, it indeed says that spotify will turn them down only 1.2db. Indicating they are very close and even just a bit loud. So according to this web site and to spotify's own information, these songs should sound as loud as any other songs on spotify.
However, when I listen to these songs in spotify alongside other songs, they clearly aren't as loud.
I think I might still have a target of -12 to -10 LUFS for streaming songs.
