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
