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.
