LUFS Loudness Calculator vs Stereo Width Calculator
Two calculators for the same neighbourhood of questions. Here is what each measures, what you feed in, and where you'd reach for one over the other.
LUFS Loudness Calculator
Calculate how many LUFS of gain adjustment your audio needs to meet broadcast or streaming standards, and flag true-peak or dynamic-range compliance issues. Use it before mastering or submitting audio for delivery.
- Answers
- Gain Adjustment Needed (dB)
- Inputs
- Current LUFS Level, Target Standard, True Peak Level, Current Dynamic Range
Stereo Width Calculator
Calculate the stereo width ratio from mid-side (M/S) processing using mid and side channel gain values in dB. Use this when mixing or mastering to quantify how wide your stereo image is.
- Answers
- Width Factor
- Inputs
- Mid Gain, Side Gain
