Master a Track
Set loudness and peak targets, audition a level-matched master, and export a measured WAV.
A Latido account with one uploaded song unlocks cloud processing.
How to use Master a Track
- Import the mix you want to deliver and choose an integrated loudness target in LUFS and a true-peak ceiling in dBTP. Use any delivery requirements supplied by your distributor.
- Render the master and compare the original and master at matched playback loudness. Listen to loud passages for changes to the attack of drums and other transients.
- Check the measured loudness and true peak, then download the 24-bit WAV. If the result sounds squeezed, try a quieter target and compare again.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between LUFS and dBTP?
Integrated LUFS describes perceived loudness across the track. True peak estimates the highest level between digital samples and is used to set a ceiling for the output.
Why did the master come out quieter than the target?
The peak ceiling takes priority. A mix with large transients may need too much limiting to reach an aggressive loudness target, so use the measured output to judge the trade-off.
Does level matching change the exported master?
The level adjustment is for listening to the comparison. The downloaded WAV plays at the master’s measured output loudness.
