Onboarding · Step 2 of 5
Requirements for submissions
What we're looking for
- High dynamic range
- Minimal limiting
- Preserved transients
- Natural contrast between quiet and loud sections
- Masters that still feel alive, open, and punchy
What matters
- Dynamic Fidelity Score (DFS) (see below)
- Transient clarity
- Loudness discipline
- Clean mastering
- Preserved headroom
Tips
- Use a pre-master when possible: post-mix, before heavy limiting
- Use a less-limited master if available
- Use vinyl, film, or broadcast masters if they preserve better dynamics
- Avoid loudness-maximized versions
- Preserve headroom and dynamics
Better dynamics = more visibility
Proluceo prioritizes music with preserved dynamic integrity. Tracks with higher Dynamic Fidelity Score may receive stronger placement in discovery, recommendations, search, editorial surfaces, and listener-facing quality indicators.
DFS measures aspects of dynamic integrity. It does not measure artistic quality, taste, genre value, or commercial potential.
The goal is simple: reward masters that preserve punch, contrast, transients, and emotional impact.
