Each platform normalises loudness to its own target. Master to these integrated LUFS and true-peak levels so your audio is not turned down — or left quiet — after upload.
Around -14 LUFS integrated with a true peak of -1 dBTP. YouTube turns down anything louder, so mastering much hotter just loses dynamics with no loudness gain.
The platform normalised it toward its target (often -14 LUFS). Master to the target rather than as loud as possible and the perceived level stays consistent.
True peak measures inter-sample peaks that can clip after lossy encoding. Leaving 1 dB of headroom (-1 dBTP) prevents distortion once the platform re-encodes your audio.
