LUFS stands for ‘ Loudness Units Relative To Full Scale‘ and is often used during the mastering process of music production. LUFS and RMS are two different ways to meter volume in audio production.
Here are a few ways to adjust the LUFS output level of your track in REAPER: This is because each streaming service normalizes/limits the music people upload to the platform to a different LUFS level.įor example, Spotify normalizes to -14 LUFS, Apple Music normalizes to -16 LUFS, Amazon Music normalizes to between -9 and -13 LUFS, and so on.Īlthough it’s a pain making different masters for different streaming services, it can improve the listening experience of your music on each platform. Metering your track’s master output level in LUFS is helpful when mastering different streaming services. To do this, right-click the master meter to open the ‘ Master VU Settings.’įrom here, select either ‘ LUFS-M‘ or ‘ LUFS-S‘ from the ‘Meter’ dropdown menu under ‘Loudness Metering Settings.’ LUFS In The REAPER Master Meter Yes, you can view your track’s volume in terms of LUFS using the REAPER Master Meter. Remember, however, that there is much more to the process of mastering than just slapping a few plugins on your master track and calling it a day. Applying FX To The Master Trackīecause REAPER routes all of the individual tracks within a project through the master track, applying FX or plugins to the master track will process every single element within your track.īecause of this, you should be light-handed with any mixing you put on the master track, or it will mess up your mix.Īny processing you apply to the master track in a DAW is technically mastering since you affect the entire mix.
As you can see, the REAPER Master Meter settings control how we view our track’s output levels.
