SoundCloud Loudness Checker
Measure your track the way SoundCloud streams it — no loudness normalization — and sanity-check peaks for the Opus/MP3 transcode.
Because SoundCloud doesn't normalize, integrated loudness is a creative choice, not a compliance gate — this tool reports it for reference and only grades the true peak, which is what actually causes audible transcode clipping on the platform.
🔒 Everything runs in your browser via the Web Audio API — your audio is never uploaded.
