How to normalize audio loudness (podcast & video standard)

Have you ever watched a video where you keep reaching for the volume? That's uneven loudness — and it's fixable in one click with normalization.

What normalization does

It analyzes your audio and adjusts it to a target loudness (we use -16 LUFS, the standard for podcasts and web video). Quiet parts become audible; loud parts stop blowing out your ears.

How to normalize

• Open Audio Normalizer
• Drop in your audio (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.)
• Hit Normalize — download the even-sounding result

When to use it

• Podcasts recorded on different mics
• Voiceovers mixed with loud music beds
• Videos assembled from clips with different volumes
