Tunedzy Match Loudness
Updated October 2026
Match loudness sets a file to a loudness target and checks the true peak, so the level suits where it is going. Choose a preset that matches the destination, then listen.
The short version
- Presets include podcast, online video, audiobook, broadcast and loud targets.
- The level is set to the target across the whole file.
- The true peak is checked, so the export does not clip after conversion.
- Listen on a phone speaker after you export.
The presets
Each preset sets a loudness target suited to a kind of output: podcast, online video, audiobook, broadcast, or a louder preset for a mix. Choose the one for your destination.
The peak check
After the level is set, the true peak is checked against a ceiling. A file that would clip after conversion is held below it.
Where it is used
On a voice in Perfect it, on clips in Multitrack, and on the final mix on export. The loudness guide explains the targets people use.
