Gain & Loudness Meter
Drop any audio file — get peak dBFS, RMS and integrated loudness (LUFS-I). Know exactly how hot your sample is before dropping it in your DAW.
Measures peak, RMS and integrated loudness (LUFS-I / BS.1770).
01 · peak dBFS
The loudest sample across all channels. Above −1 dBFS risks clipping in your chain. Below −6 dBFS is comfortable headroom.
02 · RMS
Root mean square — the perceived average loudness. Useful for matching levels between samples before mixing.
03 · LUFS-I (BS.1770)
K-weighted integrated loudness per ITU-R BS.1770. Spotify and YouTube normalize to −14 LUFS, Apple Music to −16 LUFS.
