Lufsonic: End The LUFS Normalization Nightmare
Instant broadcast-ready audio processing - no DAW, no plugins, no endless render cycles
Every audio professional knows the drill: you need to normalize a batch of audio files to broadcast standards. What should be a simple task becomes an hours-long ordeal involving DAW imports, expensive plugins, multiple playback cycles, and constant adjustments between LUFS targets and dBTP limits.
Whether you're a video editor facing TV broadcast specifications, a mastering engineer handling streaming deliveries, or a post-production specialist managing dozens of audio assets, the traditional LUFS normalization workflow is broken. It's time-consuming, error-prone, and utterly inefficient for batch processing.
The current industry approach to LUFS normalization is a multi-step nightmare that wastes countless hours:
Load your DAW, create a new project, import the audio file. For each individual file. One at a time. Already, you're looking at significant time investment before any actual processing begins.
Purchase and configure specialized LUFS measurement plugins - often costing hundreds of dollars. Options like iZotope Insight, Waves WLM Plus, or NuGen VisLM are professional-grade but come with professional-grade price tags.
Play through the entire audio file to get LUFS measurements. For a 3-minute song, that's 3 minutes of waiting. For a 90-minute film mix, that's 90 minutes just for measurement - before any adjustments.
Based on the LUFS reading, adjust the gain and play through again. Too low? Adjust up and play again. Too high? Adjust down and play again. Each full playthrough required for accurate measurement.
Finally hit your LUFS target, only to discover the dBTP (True Peak) level exceeds broadcast limits. Now you need limiting, which affects your LUFS measurement, requiring another full playthrough cycle.
Once everything measures correctly, export the file. Then repeat this entire process for every single audio file in your project.
Picture this scenario: You're a video editor who just finished a corporate video. The client loves it, approves the final cut, and then drops the bombshell: "We need this for TV broadcast, so it needs to meet EBU R128 standards with -23 LUFS and -1 dBTP limiting."
Suddenly, your completed project becomes a technical nightmare. You don't have expensive mastering plugins, you don't know the intricacies of broadcast standards, and you certainly don't want to call back the audio engineer and pay additional fees for something that should be a simple technical adjustment.
Most video editors face this dilemma by:
The traditional DAW-based approach fails catastrophically when dealing with multiple files. Consider these common scenarios:
Spotify requires -14 LUFS, Apple Music targets -16 LUFS, and YouTube uses -14 LUFS. Processing 12 album tracks through traditional workflows means:
Weekly podcasts require consistent -16 LUFS for major platforms. Traditional processing means a weekly multi-hour ordeal for what should be a simple technical specification.
Training video series with 20+ episodes, each requiring broadcast-ready audio. Traditional workflows make this project a weeks-long technical nightmare.
Lufsonic revolutionizes audio normalization by eliminating the entire traditional workflow. It's the world's first standalone application designed specifically for instant, batch-capable LUFS normalization to professional broadcast standards.
Lufsonic Interface: Revolutionary instant LUFS processing that eliminates traditional DAW workflows
Lufsonic processes files to LUFS standards in seconds, not minutes or hours. No more waiting through full playback cycles - analysis and processing happen almost instantaneously.
Automatically handles the complex relationship between LUFS targets and dBTP limits. No more discovering peak limit violations after lengthy processing cycles.
Process hundreds of files simultaneously with a single drag-and-drop operation. Set your standards once, process everything instantly.
Lufsonic Ultra-fast Analysis: Process hundreds of audio files to multiple LUFS standards simultaneously in just minutes
Select multiple output formats simultaneously. Generate -14 LUFS, -16 LUFS, and -23 LUFS versions in a single processing operation.
Lufsonic Professional Interface: Generate multiple LUFS standards (-14, -16, -23 LUFS) simultaneously for all streaming platforms
Completely standalone application. No need for expensive DAWs, complex session management, or technical audio engineering knowledge.
Eliminates the need for expensive LUFS measurement and limiting plugins. Everything required for professional normalization is built-in.
Lufsonic is the only solution of its kind in the world. While DAW plugins handle LUFS measurement and limiting, no standalone application addresses the specific needs of batch audio normalization to broadcast standards.
