Master Audio for Apple Music
Mastering for Apple Music
Apple Music uses Sound Check normalization, referencing a level around -16 LUFS, and its Apple Digital Masters program favors clean, high-resolution files with preserved dynamics and headroom to avoid clipping. In practice that means a balanced master rather than a maximally loud one translates best.
The AetherWave Streaming preset produces a balanced, streaming-ready master and returns a genuine 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV, the kind of high-resolution file Apple's ecosystem is built around. Your first master is free.
