Master Audio for YouTube
Mastering for YouTube playback
Like the music streaming services, YouTube applies loudness normalization, bringing tracks toward a reference around -14 LUFS. Mastering to that level means your music sits at a consistent, competitive volume next to other videos, and you keep your dynamics instead of losing them to an overly loud master that gets turned down anyway.
The AetherWave Streaming preset targets this loudness and returns a clean 24-bit / 48 kHz WAV, ideal for music videos, lyric videos, and background tracks. Your first master is free, with nothing to install.
