Is SoundCloud normalizing or adjusting our uploads/streams to -14 LUFS, as described in this video, or not? -14 LUFSFor my latest project, which I mixed and mastered in Studio One, I aimed for -14 LUFS and was hitting around -13 LUFS, in the Yellow by S1's meters, never in the Red. I set the Ozone 9 Maximizer to -0.5 dB True Peak. Compared to a few other songs I listened to on SoundCloud that were produced by community members, mine 'seemed' lower in volume. I uploaded a 16-bit wav. This thread from a year ago is also relevant. Bud Merritt mentions mastering to -12 LUFS and using MB compression as well, and of course he's very good at this. LUFS Scott

The available info is confusing as some sites state that SC is one of the very few sites that does not alter the gain as do the other platforms.
I can listen to Apple Music, Spotify and other platforms with with little gain variation but I ALWAYS turn down the volume before playing a forum song on SC as some would knock the monitors off the shelf. I mean very, very loud. I do realize some of that is due to a lot of compression … but still.
FWIW I master at -14 LUFS via Logic Pro X’s Loudness Meter and check the result at Loudnesspenalty - a great, quick, free with no sign up required site that will tell you to what degree the platforms will alter your specific song.

Oh, gosh, Bud, sorry? No way. No, sir. You just keep on telling it like it is, repeatedly:)
I'm somewhat embarrassed for not remembering I traveled this path before....
