Are Your Podcast Episodes Loud Enough?

Are Your Podcast Episodes Loud Enough?

Before publishing, how do you make sure that the loudness level of your podcast episodes are at or near the industry standards? (-19 LUFS for mono episodes, and -16 LUFS for stereo episodes)

  • I use iZotope RX‘s Loudness Module to precisely set the final loudness level.
  • Many people use Auphonic.
  • Others try to look at the meter in their DAW to guesstimate the LUFS level. (not recommended)
  • Some DAWs allow you to set the LUFS level when exporting. (Hindenburg Journalist Pro and others)
  • Adobe Audition allows you to Match Loudness to your desired LUFS level.
  • I’m sure there are many other ways.

How do you accomplish this important task?
