Hello Jaycen,
Most streaming services want a master with -14 LUFS. If I understood correctly, your masters are louder.
Can you please explain your approach?
Thank you for your time and answer
Best regards

I mix for the feeling and usually am not paying attention to the loudness at the end of the day. I’ve done lots of testing with this and streaming services, and have been able to achieve loudness while keeping the apparent transients - usually the results are always good and competitive with everything out there even after DSPs normalize.
Additionally, I always go into the settings on my streaming service of choice and turn off normalization. That way I can hear all the songs as they were delivered.
Thanks Jaycen,
Best regards
Ivan
