What mastering measured
Both recordings were mastered by WPAudio Engine, each to a different brief. Before and after, per recording — integrated loudness, true peak, loudness range.
| Recording | Integrated | Δ | True peak | LRA | Δ LRA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wings & Prayers · original → reference master | -16.0 → -11.9 | +4.1 LU | -4.3 → -1.2 | 9.6 → 9.6 | 0.0 LU |
| Wings & Prayers: Second Flight · mix → released master | -15.4 → -14.0 | +1.4 LU | -0.5 → -1.1 | 9.1 → 9.1 | 0.0 LU |
LUFS, dBTP and LU respectively. The first record's true peak moved +3.1 dB; the Second Flight version was true-peak limited and arrived with 0 samples at full scale. The reasoning behind each brief is in the case studies: mastering Wings & Prayers and mastering Second Flight.
