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?
