LUFS

LUFS (Loudness Units Full Scale) is a loudness measurement standard used to maintain consistent audio levels across podcast episodes. Unlike traditional volume measurements, LUFS accounts for human perception of loudness, providing a more accurate representation of how audio is experienced by listeners. This standard helps podcasters ensure that their episodes maintain a consistent volume, which is crucial for listener comfort and engagement.

Maintaining consistent loudness levels is important for providing a professional listening experience. Inconsistent audio levels can cause listener fatigue, making it necessary for listeners to constantly adjust their volume settings. By adhering to LUFS standards, podcasters can create a more enjoyable and seamless listening experience, reducing the risk of alienating their audience.
