Master Audio for Spotify

What Spotify wants

Spotify normalizes playback loudness toward about -14 LUFS. A master that matches that level plays back cleanly and competitively, while an overly loud master simply gets turned down, costing you dynamics with no benefit. Spotify also recommends leaving a little headroom to avoid clipping after their processing.

The AetherWave Streaming preset is tuned for exactly this: it targets streaming loudness and returns a clean, platform-ready 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV. Upload your mix, pick Streaming, and your first master is free.
