Online streaming services are turning down loud songs.

We all hate sudden changes in loudness - they're the #1 source of user complaints.

To avoid this and save us from being "blasted" unexpectedly, online streaming services measure loudness, and turn down music recorded at higher levels. We call this reduction the "Loudness Penalty" - the higher the level your music is mastered at, the bigger the penalty could be. But all the streaming services achieve this in different ways, and give different values, which makes it really hard to know how big the Loudness Penalty will be for your music...

Until now.

Simply select any WAV, MP3 or AAC file above, and within seconds we'll provide you with an accurate measurement of the Loudness Penalty for your music on many of the most popular music streaming services, and allow you to preview how it will sound for easy comparison with your favorite reference material.
