    Analyse audio file loudness in LUFS

    This file loudness meter measures integrated LUFS, short-term maximum, loudness range and peak of an audio file. Choose a WAV, MP3, AAC or FLAC file; it is analysed in your browser and never uploaded.

    Integrated loudness

    Gated average across the file, the number streaming services normalise to.

    Loudness range (LRA)

    LRA describes variation between quiet and loud passages: below 5 LU is dense pop, above 10 LU is cinematic or classical.

    Peak and true peak

    Sample peak shows the highest sample; inter-sample peaks can be higher after conversion.

    LRA describes variation between quiet and loud passages: below 5 LU is dense pop, above 10 LU is cinematic or classical.

    Peak and true peak

    Sample peak shows the highest sample; inter-sample peaks can be higher after conversion. Keep peaks below −1 dBFS for streaming.

    Mastering for streaming

    Aim for the platform target or slightly above; a loud master is turned down anyway.
