What loudness should you target for Reggaeton?
Reggaeton mastering emphasizes the dembow rhythm — a half-time drum pattern that must hit with authority. Sub-bass between 40-80Hz creates physical impact. Vocal presence and clarity are paramount. Target: -8 to -10 LUFS with strong low-end and clear vocals.
Quantara Music's Reggaeton preset sets tone, dynamics, stereo image and loudness for reggaeton production conventions, with a true-peak-safe ceiling at -1 dBTP. The result is a strong starting point for reggaeton releases that you can fine-tune by ear.

Use -9.0 LUFS integrated as a reference and keep true peak under -1 dBTP; for streaming, Spotify recommends below -2 dBTP for masters louder than -14 LUFS. Master for the song first; most streaming platforms normalise playback, so the reference matters more than chasing a loud number.
