Master Your Music to SoundCloud's Loudness Standard

SoundCloud normalizes to -9 LUFS, the loudest of all major streaming platforms. An unmastered track at -18 LUFS will sound 9 LUFS quieter than everything around it. MixMasterAI hits -9 LUFS precisely, without sacrificing dynamics.

The solution

What MixMasterAI does for your SoundCloud release

01

Normalized to -9 LUFS, SoundCloud's loudest target

SoundCloud normalizes playback to -9 LUFS, which is 5 LUFS louder than Spotify. MixMasterAI's SoundCloud target hits this exactly, so your track competes at full volume with everything on the platform.

02

Dynamics preserved at higher loudness

Getting to -9 LUFS without heavy limiting requires careful multiband compression. MixMasterAI uses a multiband approach that raises perceived loudness while keeping transients and dynamics intact.
