![]() The entire program is measured to find the integrated loudness. ![]() To make sure everybody is clear on how these values were measured, we use LU (loudness units) or It works pretty much like dB RMS just with a filter and a gate applied. Quite a while ago, the EBU has given out a recommendation on how to measure loudness of program material. (Please note that it was written about 3 years ago, so best check current levels for these platforms). If audio is set to -17 LUFS, there is no way that it should be slamming into the extremes of the if it is, best double check everything again.īelow, a comparison of audio at -23, -17 and -10 LUFS, note the “headroom” in each case.Ī user on Reddit, Chaos_Klaus, put the whole LUFS thing into perspective: If your LUFS value has to be a certain number and the show volume is still off, that’s a problem. It should be possible to compare your works to commercial productions directly and if your volume is significantly off try changing the LUFS value. ![]() Note there are no compressors and processors in there, so if you like to get theatrical and expressive, you’re going to create problems.Īlso if you have high background noise (traffic, refrigerators, your computer), that’s going to be processed right along with your voice. The audiobook people have a slightly quieter standard. In this exact instance, It’s set to catch your voice just before overload. The soft limiter is handy because it keeps your voice out of overload and clipping damage and you can’t hear it working. But if your goal is consistent voice volume, you don’t want them in there because they can throw off the volume correction tools.Įffect > Filter curve… > Manage > Factory Presets > : Low roll-off for speech > OK.Įffect > Loudness Normalization…: Normalize Perceived Loudness to -17LUFS > OK.Įffect > Limiter: Soft Limit, 0.00, 0.00, -1.0dB, 10.00, No > OK. Normally, nobody can hear them and nobody cares (and they’re expensive for the manufacturer to fix). Home microphones like to produce rumble and low pitch tones and trash in addition to the voice. ![]() And it’s not the worst idea to use all three of the Audiobook Tools, not leave any out.
