What is the LUFS standard for radio?
-24
The Public Radio Satellite System has set a broadcast LUFS standard of -24. But let’s take a look at what the bigger digital platforms have to say.
What LUFS should my podcast be?
Generally, a peak level of -1.0 dB is good for podcasts, as this level will ensure your audio sounds good when it’s converted to a lossy format like MP3 or AAC.
What should I normalize podcast audio to?
Most of the time, normalization is used to increase the gain to its highest possible level without going over 0dB which can cause clipping. Many audio pros suggest setting this at . 1 dB.
What are broadcast loudness mix standards?
In this PBS spec, the optimal average loudness is -24dB LKFS, but there is an acceptable loudness range (LRA) above and below +/-2 LU (“Loudness Units”). Basically that means your average loudness measurement can fall on or between -26dB LKFS and -22dB LKFS, but ideally you want to mix to hit at -24dB LKFS.
How many LUFS should my master be for radio?
TL; DR. Radio and podcasts need two different loudness targets: -24 LUFS for radio and approximately -18 LUFS for podcasts. It’s best to do all of your production at the lower “radio” level, even if your final product is to be at the higher “podcast” level.
How many LUFS is dB?
one dB
Both terms describe the same phenomenon and just like LKFS, one unit of LUFS is equal to one dB.
How big should my podcast file be?
We recommend uploading 128 – 160kbps MP3 files. These typically have the right balance of good audio quality and small size, which your listeners will appreciate. Acast does not change the quality of the files you upload. If you have recorded in a different file format (like .
Should I normalize my podcast audio?
Having your podcast at a normalized loudness level is important because it keeps all the podcasts out there roughly at the same loudness levels. That way when listeners are switching between different podcasts on Apple Podcasts or Spotify they all sound roughly the same.
What is the Netflix loudness specs?

What is the difference between dB and LUFS?
0 dB FS is the maximum level. The scale refers to the amplitude of a signal compared with the maximum which a device can handle before clipping occurs. LUFS – Loudness units relative to Full Scale. This is a loudness standard designed to enable normalization of audio levels.
