Apple Music adjusts loudness during playback – typical target around -16 LUFS. LUFS Converter Pro includes a ready-made preset with matching True Peak.
Apple Music (-16 LUFS) preset
- Target LUFS: -16
- True Peak: -1.0 dBTP
That is a conservative choice for upload. The report after each run shows the actual measured values per file.
Difference from Spotify (-14 LUFS)
The Spotify preset targets -14 LUFS – slightly louder. Apple Music targets -16 LUFS – slightly quieter. Releasing to both platforms? Export separate versions or pick the compromise that fits your material.
How to proceed
Add a folder of MP3, FLAC, or WAV files, select the preset, optionally choose a destination folder so originals stay untouched. Two-stage normalization adjusts the level without unnecessarily changing the dynamics of your recordings.
