LUFS vs. True Peak: The Metrics Every Engineer MUST Know

Are you just turning down your master fader and hoping for the best?

I’m breaking down the physics of digital levels, from the hidden) dangers of intersample peaks to the perceived loudness of LUFS.

Understanding these metrics is the difference between a mix that sounds professional and one that falls apart on streaming platforms.
