Click on the tabs _Time span_ and _Channels_ in case you need to access advanced exporting options.
|
Sometimes the rendered audio is either too loud or too quiet to match demands imposed by various popular streaming services like YouTube or Spotify. Ardour
|
||||||
|
provides a tool called _Loudness Assistant_ to help with that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In layman terms, it analyzes everything that goes through the _Master_ bus,
|
||||||
|
estimates how loud the signal is, and then suggests correcting it upwards or
|
||||||
|
downwards so that overall loudness would be just about right for this or that
|
||||||
|
popular streaming service.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
While you can apply loudness (gain) correction directly to the _Master_ bus's
|
||||||
|
output and benefit from having more manual control over the result, the most
|
||||||
|
convenient way is to apply normalization at the exporting stage. You can do
|
||||||
|
that two ways:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Just pick a popular service in the drop-down list under _Formats_. Ardour has presets for Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, YouTube etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. If the service is not listed in the presets, click the **Edit** button to
|
||||||
|
open a dialog with advanced exporting settings, enable _Normalize_, choose
|
||||||
|
_Loudness_ rather than _Peak_, and then set the desired LUFS value.
