What DB should my master be?
How loud should your master be? Shoot for about -23 LUFS for a mix, or -6db on an analog meter. For mastering, -14 LUFS is the best level for streaming, as it will fit the loudness targets for the majority of streaming sources. With these targets, you’re good to go!
How do I get better at mastering?
- Consider your destination and appropriate loudness standards.
- Secure genre-appropriate references.
- Get yourself a meter.
- Limit yourself (at first) to three tools.
- Try to work in reverse.
- When monitoring, level match your master to your mix.
- Level match your reference track to your master.
- Translation is key.
