how much dbTP is too much dbTP?

hello everyone :)

i’ve been locked in on this subreddit and i’ve learned a lot, so here’s another question

i’m aware that TP overs can squeeze a bit of loudness on your master, at the cost of having it sound not great on loss formats or on different DAC’s

i’ve tried turning true peak limiting off on one of my masters, and i got +1.6dbTP

is this too much? what’s a good threshold for true peak? am i doing something wrong?

bass lowers the perceived loudness on streaming services?

hello, i’ve noticed that songs with a LOT of bass sound wayyyy quieter h than those that don’t in streaming services when normalized

my favorite example of this is a man touched the sky by scrim - this song specifically sounds way too quiet compared to other songs in the same album

is this true? or am i tripping too hard?

hey guys
i’ve been making music for a few years now but got into engineering veeeery recently

im struggling with true peak, i usually master my songs at -0.1dbTP, but im worried it might clip on lossier formats like AAC

does it matter? should i do -1.0dbTP? help :(
