Loudness is measured to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard, the one streaming platforms use.
Integrated LUFS
Your loudness against the level platforms play back, about -14 LUFS on Spotify
True peak and clipping
Inter-sample peaks that distort once the file is encoded for streaming
Dynamic range
How much punch is left after limiting, compared with your genre
Tonal balance
Lows, mids and highs of the finished master against your genre
Stereo and mono
Width and mono compatibility on phones and small speakers
Streaming verdict

WAV, MP3 or FLAC up to 150 MB. Upload the file you plan to deliver, ideally the WAV.
Signal measurements and AI listening run in parallel. The report is ready in about three minutes.
See whether the master is ready and, if not, what to change: level, limiting, peaks or balance.
A master analyzer measures the finished stereo file you are about to deliver. The main figures are integrated loudness in LUFS, true peak in dBTP, clipping and dynamic range. MusicPulse measures loudness to the ITU-R BS.1770 standard, then reads the result against your genre.
A club track and a folk song do not aim for the same loudness. The report tells you whether your level makes sense for the genre, not only whether it matches a single number.
Streaming services normalize loudness. Spotify plays tracks back at about -14 LUFS, Apple Music at about -16 LUFS when Sound Check is on. A master pushed far above that level is simply turned down, and what remains is the distortion and the flattened dynamics of heavy limiting.
True peak matters for another reason. Platforms encode your file to a lossy format, and peaks that sit at 0 dBFS can clip after encoding. Leaving about 1 dB of true peak margin, the value used by the MusicPulse mastering presets, avoids it.
If the master is ready, you can deliver it and move on to playlists. If the report flags loudness or peaks, the correction belongs in mastering: MusicPulse online mastering sets the level for Spotify, Apple Music or Tidal and verifies the result.
If the report flags mud or balance, the correction belongs in the mix. Go back to the session, fix the mix, then master again: a master cannot remove what the mix put in.
Spotify normalizes playback to about -14 LUFS integrated. Most professional masters land between -14 and -8 LUFS depending on genre. The analyzer measures your integrated loudness and tells you whether it makes sense for your genre.
A true peak around -1 dBTP is a common target for streaming, and it is the one the MusicPulse mastering presets use. It leaves margin for the encoding that platforms apply to your file.
Every new account gets 10 free credits and one analysis costs 10 credits, so your first analysis is free. After that, the 7-day Artist trial ($4) covers one track, a Release Pass ($19 once) covers one track for 60 days, and Artist covers all your tracks from $20 per month.
The master analyzer measures a master you already have and tells you whether it is ready. Online mastering produces the master: it processes your mix and sets loudness for the platform you choose. Many artists analyze first, then decide.
