Auphonic’s Dynamic Range Controls

Auphonic offers a very important and handy dynamic range control which will ensure all your audio is heard above the listeners background noise, and will avoid causing people to turn off your podcast because they can’t hear it well enough. Check out the graph here showing the results of a study which basically discovered at what dynamic range listeners will turn up the volume or turn off the audio, etc. (btw, problems start once the audio gets to around 6dB of dynamic range and above)

You could use it on full episodes in your final mastering step, and/or on individual tracks before mixing.

In my experience and research, I believe around 4-5 dB of dynamic range is a good average to aim for.
