PurposePresets - Spotify Stereo Master

Spotify Normalization Reference

Spotify currently normalizes Normal playback toward -14 LUFS and recommends masters below -1 dBTP, with -2 dBTP suggested for masters louder than -14 LUFS. These presets prepare or inspect one high-quality stereo master against that playback reference; they do not guarantee unchanged playback on every device, platform acceptance, or a preferred artistic loudness.
