Frequently Asked Questions
What LUFS should I use for YouTube?
For most YouTube content, aim for -14 LUFS. This provides competitive loudness while maintaining good dynamic range. Test your content on mobile devices and different playback systems.
Does YouTube normalize audio levels?
YouTube does apply some normalization, but it's not consistent across all content. It's better to optimize your audio levels before uploading to ensure consistent quality and avoid YouTube's processing.
What's the best audio format for YouTube?
YouTube accepts most audio formats, but AAC at 192 kbps or higher is recommended for best quality. WAV files are also excellent but result in larger file sizes. Avoid heavily compressed formats.
How can I improve my YouTube audio quality?
Start with good recording equipment and environment, use proper gain staging, apply gentle processing, normalize levels, and test on multiple devices. Consider professional help for complex projects.
