The loud parts/peaks of your performance are the limiting factor. It will help to level-out the sound (with the envelope tool or the leveler effect) and you might try some limiting. Audacity will normalize the actual digital data. The “true peak” is an approximation of the re-constructed analog peak (in-between the digital samples). FYI - The Amplify effect will normalize to 0dB if you leave the default. It doesn’t hurt to normalize (to 0dB) as the last step. If you want to go as loud as possible (linearly) you can normalize to 0dB. I mean it would be easier to use True Peak normalisation and just set that to -1db. Regular normalization and loudness normalization both work that way. I mean normalisation is pretty much amplifying the whole signal with the same amount ( as I understand it ). The peak levels don’t correlate well with loudness, and if you’re not careful with loudness-normalization you can push your peaks into clipping. Loudness normalization targets perceived loudness. Regular normalization is based on the peaks. What is the difference between Loudness Normalisation and Normalisation in Audacity? So the goal is to follow the -14 LUFS recommendationĪre you sure that’s their recommendation, or is that their target for their own loudness normalization? Does that apply to spoken word? I want to get closer to the -14 LUFS level. This whole journey started as I upload clips to Youtube but they are reported as being -25 LUFS by Youtube. In practice I do the tweaking with the compressor to get close to -14 LUFS. It would be easier because I got clipping with Loudness Normalisation in this particular instance. What is the difference between Loudness Normalisation and Normalisation in Audacity? I mean normalisation is pretty much amplifying the whole signal with the same amount ( as I understand it ). I have the compression set to automatic makeup gain to the zero level. I run the Compression tool with Level set to -15 dB and I use a 4:1 compression. In the waveform I can see that I have some peaks above -15 dB. What I can see from the Youlean Loudness Meter is that the integrated LUFS is rather -22 LUFS. I have the Youlean loudness meter installed and I am looking at the integrated LUFS. I set loudness normalisation to -14 LUFS. Naively I used the Loudness Normalisation tool in Audacity ( after I had cleaned up the breathing sounds ) I want my sound to be as loud as possible within that limitation. So the goal is to follow the -14 LUFS recommendation. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am doing a standup routine that I will upload to Youtube. I am on Windows 10 and Audacity version is 2.4.2
