Hello everyone, I’m wondering if streaming platforms have rules regarding the allowed level in -dB and duration for tails.
For example, assuming a song ends with a sustained piano chord held by the pedal, how many seconds can the final decay last before reaching silence? Is it possible to have a tail that stays below -40 dB for more than 10 seconds?
Thank you.

Hello @AngeloN93
An article from Spotify about db
It is in French but sure you can translate it or found the English version.
Another one about loudness
For me a long silent tail could influence the algorithm.

Thank you @A2D for your reply.
Unfortunately, the articles don’t mention tails… I’ll keep on searching.
What do you mean exactly with your last sentence?

Hello @AngeloN93
I mean as explained in the 2 articles Spotify made modifications on the db. For me, If you have a long tail, it could have a consequence to the modifications done by the algo on EP, album.
