Think mastering louder means sounding better on Spotify? Think again.

Spotify brought in a system that would beat the loudness war for good.

It uses loudness normalisation to create a consistent listening experience. They adjust playback to -14 LUFS, not changing your master, but how it's played back.

A few things to remember:
✅ Aim for -14dB integrated LUFS
✅ Keep it below -1dB TP ( True Peak) max
✅ One high-quality stereo master is all you need
✅ Lossless and compressed playback both follow the same normalisation principles
