Podcast mastering online: clear, even episodes at -16 LUFS
Listeners skip episodes that are too quiet, too loud or uneven between voices. Podcast mastering evens out the levels of every speaker, controls peaks and brings the whole episode to the loudness podcast apps expect.
The podcast loudness target
Most podcast platforms and producers aim at about -16 LUFS integrated loudness for stereo episodes, with true peaks kept below about -1 dBTP so nothing distorts on phones and earbuds. Spotify and YouTube normalise playback, but an episode mastered to the target sounds right everywhere, including apps that do not.
How to export your episode
- Export the edited episode as WAV (best) or a high-quality MP3 (192 kbps or more).
- Mono or stereo are both fine.
- Leave the loudness to the master: no limiter on the export.
