PurposePresets - SoundCloud Stereo Reference - Meter - Summary

SoundCloud Target Reference

Basis: Official playback guidance.

SoundCloud recommends -14 LUFS Integrated and below -1 dBTP; this is playback guidance, not an upload acceptance band. These checks validate the APU product recipes on deterministic stereo material; they do not certify platform or broadcaster acceptance.

Sources: SoundCloud loudness normalization

Meter scope: The selected Integrated LUFS view is compared directly with an offline file measurement.

Meter program validation candidate passed. The checked rows are inside the SoundCloud playback Integrated LUFS window and peak ceilings.

Isolated Leveler validation renders: all diagnostic rows are inside the SoundCloud playback Integrated LUFS window and peak ceilings.
