How to Read Your Mix Results

Integrated LUFS

Loudness Units Full Scale (Integrated) measures the average loudness of your entire track. Spotify and Apple Music typically normalize audio to -14 LUFS. If your mix is significantly louder (e.g., -8 LUFS), it will be turned down by streaming algorithms.

True Peak (dBTP)

Unlike standard sample peaks, True Peak accounts for inter-sample peaks that occur during digital-to-analog conversion. Keeping your ceiling at -1.0 dBTP ensures your music won't distort when converted to lossy formats like MP3 or AAC.

Crest Factor

This is the difference between your peak and RMS levels, representing your dynamic range. A Crest Factor of 8-14 dB is generally considered healthy. A very low number suggests your mix is over-compressed, while a very high number may lack "glue" and impact.

Stereo Correlation

Measures the phase relationship between left and right channels. A value of +1.0 is mono, while 0.0 is wide stereo. If your meter dips into the negative (red zone), you have phase cancellation issues that will make elements disappear on mono speakers.

Mono Loss

Calculates how much energy is lost when your stereo mix is summed to mono. Keeping this loss below 1.5 dB ensures your mix translates well to club systems, phones, and Bluetooth speakers.

Spectral Balance

The checker analyzes Sub/Bass, Warmth, and Air. These ratios are genre-dependent, but significant deviations usually indicate a need for corrective EQ on your master bus to match commercial spectral profiles.

This tool utilizes the ITU-R BS.1770-4 standard for loudness measurement to provide broadcast-accurate technical data.

Mix check FAQ

A few things worth knowing before you trust the numbers.

What does this free LUFS meter check?

It checks integrated LUFS, momentary loudness, estimated true peak, sample peak, clipping, crest factor, stereo correlation, mono loss, stereo width, and broad spectral balance.

Do I need an account?

No. This mix check is free to use in your browser, and you do not need a Moozix account to analyze a file.

Does this upload my song?

No. The analysis runs in your browser. Your audio file is not uploaded for this free mix check.

What LUFS level should I aim for?

Many streaming services normalize playback around -14 LUFS, but genre and taste still matter. Use the reading as a technical reference, then decide whether the song still feels alive.
