Moises Try it →Watch full video →Home Studio Simplified · Apr 2025

Demo summary

The user demonstrates how to set target loudness to -14 LUFS in Advanced mode and attempts to use a reference track to match the sonic profile of a studio recording.

Step-by-step

Select Advanced mode for mastering
Set the target loudness to -14 LUFS (dBs)
Upload a reference track to match its sonic profile
Toggle between Original, Auto, Advanced, and Reference versions to compare results
Reset settings if the output sounds over-compressed

Options

Use Auto mode for a balanced, stereo-widened sound
Use Advanced mode for manual control over loudness levels
Use Reference mode to mimic a specific studio recording

Watch out for

Reference tracks that do not match the genre of the original song may produce poor results
Advanced mode defaults to -10 dBs, which can sound over-compressed compared to -14 dBs

Tips

Set loudness to -14 LUFS if you are producing for standard studio quality
Listen to other masters while a new reference track is loading to save time
Compare the Advanced mode at -14 dBs against Auto mode to find subtle improvements in balance

Highlights

“I would probably choose the advanced mode over auto mode in this case when I switched the DB intake”
