When it comes to the listening experience of your podcast, it's important to understand LUFS and why you need to use the correct one. So what is LUFS? Well, LUFS stands for Loudness Units Full Scale. And basically, it's a standardized way of measuring loudness. Now, I won't get too technical on this, but basically there are two types of LUFS, short-term and integrated.

And basically, it's a standardized way of measuring loudness. Now, I won't get too technical on this, but basically there are two types of LUFS, short-term and integrated.

Short-term gives us a peak reading of the last three seconds of audio, while integrated is an average of the whole audio mix. And it's how we measure loudness for film, music streaming, radio, and podcasting. To get an idea of important how LUFS is, ask yourself if you've ever listened to an episode and the ads have been much louder than the episode audio itself or vice versa.

Generally, there are two settings to work by. Mine is 16 LUFS for stereo and mine is 19 LUFS for mono. Now, a lot of editing software has LUFS settings built in.

I use Hindenburg Pro, for example, and when I export the audio, I can set it to minus 16. And I do this for all my ads, sponsor messages, intro, outro, music, and more. This ensures that every part of my audio is exactly the same level.
