What to send us
The finished episodes, the platforms you publish on, and whether your show is mono or stereo, since targets differ. Tell us if you publish on video platforms too.
What you get back
Episodes normalized to your chosen target, commonly around -16 LUFS for stereo, with true peak controlled, plus a short report of measured values for each file.
What to check before you sign off
Play a new episode immediately after an older one. The volume should be the same, and the loud moments should not sound squashed or distorted.
