Decibels

Decibels (dB) are a unit of measurement for the intensity of sound. In podcasting, decibels are used to indicate audio levels, helping podcasters ensure that their recordings are neither too loud nor too quiet. Properly managing decibel levels is essential for maintaining audio quality and listener comfort.

Audio levels that are too high can cause distortion, while levels that are too low may result in inaudible or poor-quality sound. Podcasters use tools like volume meters and limiters to monitor and control decibel levels during recording and editing, ensuring a balanced and professional sound.
