 +===== Loudness =====
  
 +When Mastering, it's important to know what loudness your aiming for. This will depend on the content you are producing. Songs will not be mastered the same way as podcasts, or video.
 +
 +LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) are used as a standardized way of expressing loudness. It’s a measurement of how loud the peaks are compared to the average level. So the more dynamic the track, the higher the number. The less dynamic the track, the lower the number.
 +
 +  * **Integrated LUFS** are a measurement taken usually over the entire sample.
 +
 +  * **Short-term LUFS** are a measurement over the last 3 seconds. 
 +
 +  * **Momentary LUFS** are a measurement over the last 400ms.
 +
 +The **[[https://www.loudnesspenalty.com|Loudness Penalty Analyzer]]** can be used to help guide the mastering process for loudness normalization.
 +
 +Podcasting generally targets -14 LUFS. Every online streaming platform operates with its own Distribution Loudness reference level, generally around -14 LUFS but there is no standard. If your audio is above that level, they will all tune it down. If it is under, some platforms will tune it up (Spotify for example does) and some won't (YouTube for example doesn't).
