What loudness should you target for Club / DJ?
Club and festival systems are the loudest, most physical playback your music will face, and there is no normalisation: the file plays as delivered. A louder master (around -7 to -9 LUFS) is a common creative choice for energy, but it is a choice, not a spec. The priorities are a kick that hits, sub-bass that is felt and mono-tight, and true-peak held at -1 dBTP so big systems do not distort.
When you export from Quantara targeting Club / DJ, the engine measures your master's integrated loudness (ITU-R BS.1770 / EBU R128), normalises it toward the -8.0 LUFS reference, and holds inter-sample (true) peaks under -1 dBTP. It will not slam a quiet, dynamic track up to a loud number just to hit a target — and since the major streaming platforms normalise playback anyway, sitting near the reference is what actually matters. You stay in control: tweak the chain, A/B against the original, and export when it sounds right.

Why master Club / DJ with Quantara?
