Question about LUFS
Hi, ALL:
I will be posting my music on a website called https://audiomack.com/ and so I contacted them to find out about the LUFS levels they allow and this is the answer I got:
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out again Steven, our max support is 320kbps for files though for the average person who doesn't have a subscription they'll be listening at 160kbps. 320 only plays when they have a premium subscription and are on wi-fi so as not to use up all their data.
-Kevin
So, based on this information, what LUFS level should I mix my music at?
Thanks in advance for your help .....

Bit rate (kpbs) and loudness (LUFS) are not related.

All said!
Kbps is the bitrate , its about the encoding of the non-lossless format
LUFs on the other side is related to loudness units
SO
one is not related to the other
BUT
If you deliver your final mix in MP3 320 Kbps with a value in between -9 to -11 LUFS you are ok
DPmeter is a free tool you can use to check that OR you can use the SWS loudness tool in reaper

If I were you, I'd be posting my songs elsewhere...

192kps is plenty good. I do lufs at -13. I checked 20 of my favorite albums to come up with this.

I got almost the exact same response from another place, a guy working for a company that will help us put our stuff out on streaming media. I asked what LUFS and TP I should aim for, and got the reply "16/44.1"
It is scary how many people in this business have not the slightest clue about the technology.
