Which podcast loudness target should I use?

The default is -16 LUFS with a one-decibel tolerance and a -1 dBTP ceiling, matching Apple Podcasts guidance. You can choose -19 LUFS or a custom target for a different delivery workflow. The selected target applies to the uploaded file without changing its channels.

A matching integrated level does not guarantee even dialogue. Listen to speaker changes, music beds, and adverts. The level history helps locate jumps, while the loudness range shows how much the sustained level varies.
