Release checklist

Updated August 2026 · The same gates as Analyze

Before you call a mix done, measure it. CoProducer’s analyze table uses these targets. They are engineering floors, not a taste test.

CheckPass whenIf it fails
Integrated LUFSwithin 1.5 LU of −14.0Loudnorm / gain staging, not more limiting for its own sake
True peak≤ −1.0 dBTP (0.15 dB epsilon)True-peak limiter after loudness, then re-measure
Clipped samples0Go back to the unclipped mix. Limiting cannot restore flats
Sample rate≥ 44.1 kHzUse the session rate, not a bounced 32 kHz MP3
Phase correlation≥ 0.2Fix in the mix. Auto-repair will not flip polarity for you
Score≥ 90Read the findings, apply the plan, listen

On the homepage A/B, Crazy Stacy moves 70 → 90 by clearing 831 clips. BeatGoHard moves 77 → 95 by parking true peak at −1.0 dBTP. Drippin moves 66 → 93 after 231k clipped samples drop to zero. Those are the same columns this checklist describes.
