how to master a song for spotify (for bedroom musicians & producers)

In this video, I show you how you can simply master your song (make it louder) for streaming services such as Spotify. This requires a simple two-plugin chain using a limiter and a LUFS analyser. This video is for bedroom musicians and producers who are ready to release their own music and need a quick and easy method to make their songs loud enough for streaming services.

Full disclaimer, I am not a mastering engineer, and there is a lot more that goes into professional mastering than what I cover here. However, I am a musician and composer, and I use this method to send music to clients as well as upload my own music for streaming.
