How to Use This Calculator
- Measure your episode's integrated loudness using your DAW or a free tool like Loudness Penalty.
- Enter your Current Loudness in LUFS and your Target Loudness (-16 LUFS for most podcast platforms).
- Enter your Current True Peak level and set the True Peak Limit (-1 dBTP is the podcast standard).
- Review the Gain Adjustment — apply this value as gain in your DAW or export settings.
- If Needs Limiter shows 1, add a true peak limiter at the Limiter Threshold value before export.
