Is my master ready to release?

No reference needed. Only the faults that are facts and not taste — and then, separately, what each platform will do to it.

What can fail you

Two walls, and neither is ours.

A limit only decides something if it came from outside this product. These two did.

Ceiling

true peak · limit −1.0 dBTP −0.2 dBTP
−3−10 dBTP

Over the ceiling by 0.8 dB. Encoders convert to lossy formats and the peaks move; what clears at 0 dBTP here will not clear there. Re-render with the limiter set to −1.0.

Clipping in the file

samples already flat at full scale 0
no samples sitting flat at full scale

Not a threshold at all — a count of damage already printed into the file. Nothing here to undo.

Consequence, not verdict

What each platform will do to it.

This block never fails a master. It reports what happens on playback.

Your integrated loudness   −8.2 LUFS

−14 LUFS is not a mastering standard. It is a playback normalisation target. A tech house master at −8 is not wrong; it is turned down on playback, and what remains is the transient cost the limiter charged to get there. That cost is worth knowing. The number itself is not a failure, and nothing on this page treats it as one.

Spotify turns you down 5.8 dB
Apple Music turns you down 7.8 dB
YouTube turns you down 5.8 dB
Tidal turns you down 5.8 dB

This page is an example, not a measurement. The normalisation targets are the published ones; the loudness is from a master we ran to build this screen. Yours will be your own.
