Questions
Good to know
What is LUFS?
The loudness measure used by streaming services, broadcasters and podcast apps. It measures how loud something sounds to the ear, not just how high the peaks go. -14 LUFS is louder than -23 LUFS.
Why does Spoel sometimes not quite reach the target?
Spoel never pushes the sound above -1 dB, because then it would distort. If a recording has a few loud peaks, it stays a little below the target. That is more honest than distortion.
Is my recording sent anywhere?
No. Measuring and normalizing happen in your browser, on your own device. Nothing goes to a server.
