Mastering audio is no easy task, for any type of project. Getting your audio to the LUFS you want while preserving dynamic range is a delicate process and can take some time. Throw in youtube normalization and the ever changing youtube loudness standard and chances are you’ll get a headache! In this video I go over some simple steps you can take to help improve audio quality and learn how to get that loud master. Mastering loudness on youtube is a hot debate topic, but just remember that just because you CAN go to -14LUFS, doesn’t always mean you should.

Solid information here, good work and looking forward for more! =)

[@decodr-ring]

You said "up to minus fourteen". For someone who is not immersed in the jargon of audio technology, that statement is confusing because up does not go in the minus direction in normal speaking. I would be interested to see a video explaining "how minus means more" and have that make sense to any normal person.

[@FlyEnri]

I'm not an audio guy at all, and had never heard about LUFs, great content! I checked all my videos now and they are in the -6 range so I guess I was luckily fine, hahahaha

[@Twongo]

You keep saying that youtube compresses videos that are above it's threshold. But in stats for nerds it says the audio is normalized. Is there some reason you think, or know, that youtube is compressing the audio?

[@postaudioformedia]

Hello! Yes, sorry. This video was made a few years ago and in my attempt to keep things informative without going down rabbit holes I accidentally interchanged normalization and compression.
The joys of early TH-cam fumbles. 😅
I'm recording an updated one today, actually, that will have a much better explanation of the difference and what TH-cam is doing. Sorry for the confusion!

[@Twongo]

@@postaudioformedia Nice, looking forward to it.

[@lukailicmusic]

Great advice and a nice breakdown! I wish I've seen the video sooner :) I have a question not necessary regarding youtube, but when mastering music in general, especially for streaming services, what is the recommended rule of thumb for true peak ceiling? I try to go -0.3 to -0.5 db

[@modernmabuse]

What is that red area? Why did a red area appear when you brought it to the required level?

[@postaudioformedia]

The red area would be the peaks of the audio going above the target of (-)20. Mostly peaks, anyways. It's very very difficult, unless you use a normalizing plugin, to exactly get set LUFS. Some festivals or broadcast specs will require normalization but I personally like to have those (+/-) 1-2 dB of variation. So the red area are those variations in audio levels above the target.
I have an updated loudness video coming shortly, probably in the later half of August, which will do a lot better at explaining things then this old one :)

[@23krupeshpansare49]

My master sounds good at 14lufs but after uploading, TH-cam compresses it and some drums sound distorted

[@alienzardsketter.9076]
