What it measures
- LUFS — integrated, short-term (3 s) and momentary (400 ms), to ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU R128.
- True Peak (dBTP) — oversampled inter-sample peaks, with clipping highlighted above −1 dBTP.
- Dynamics — loudness range and crest, so you can see how squashed or open a master is.
- Key & tempo — musical key on a Camelot wheel (with mix-compatible keys), chroma profile, and a draggable tempo grid / BPM.
- Genre & similar tracks — an optional neural pass (runs in-browser) that names the style and finds close-sounding tracks.
- Spectrum & spectrogram — average magnitude spectrum and a full spectrogram, plus a live real-time spectrum and VU on playback.
- A/B compare — line two masters up side by side and export the report to PNG or PDF.
Streaming loudness targets
Most platforms normalize to an integrated-loudness target. The analyzer checks your master against the common ones:
- Spotify, YouTube, Amazon — around −14 LUFS.
- Apple Music — around −16 LUFS.
- Podcast platforms — around −16 LUFS.
- Broadcast (EBU R128) — −23 LUFS.
Aim a touch under the target and keep True Peak below −1 dBTP so lossy codecs don't clip on playback.
FAQ
Does my file get uploaded to a server?
No. The whole analysis runs locally in your browser with the Web Audio API and WebAssembly. Your audio never leaves your device.
How is LUFS different from dBFS?
dBFS is the peak level of the loudest sample. LUFS is perceived loudness — it factors in time and the ear's frequency response. Two tracks with the same dBFS peak can sound very different in LUFS.
Which formats are supported?
WAV, FLAC, MP3, AAC/M4A, OGG, OPUS and AIFF — anything your browser can decode.
How accurate is it?
Loudness follows ITU-R BS.1770-4 / EBU R128 and True Peak uses oversampling, so results track professional meters closely. Tiny differences can come from the decoder and resampling.
