What a loudness report looks like

A complete report for a 24-bit stereo master (4:44, 44.1 kHz), captured from a real run. Everything below is what you get a few seconds after dropping a track. Check your own track.

Findings and recommendations

Inter-sample peaks at 0.53 dBTP (4074 overs) warning

Lossy encodes (AAC/Ogg) can overshoot on decode. If the loudness is intentional this is a trade-off, not a defect.

Set the final limiter true-peak ceiling between -0.3 and -1 dBTP, or accept the overs for a louder master.

Bass (60-150 Hz) is 2.2 dB heavier than the benchmark info

-3.4 dB vs -5.6 dB relative to total energy (level-independent, so a heavy band means the others are lighter).

Bass 60-150 Hz is heavier than the benchmark. Cut the kick/bass overlap region or use a dynamic EQ on the bass bus.

Loud sections are in the benchmark range good

-6.6 LUFS vs benchmark -6.4 ± 1.4.

Loudness per ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU R128 (K-weighting, gated), true peak by 4x oversampling. "Loudest 20%" = 3 s windows at or above the 80th percentile of short-term loudness. Spectrum bands are relative to total energy so they compare shape, not level. Hover a term for its definition. How to read this report.
