Your audio, mastered for the feed
Social platforms utilize specific loudness targets. Lappaa Pro measures your media and normalizes it to the precise level required for modern distribution.
−23 to −14 LUFS configurable. On-device. No upload.
Reaching the right loudness target
While the broadcast loudness standard (EBU R128, −23 LUFS) is excellent for television formatting, social platforms utilize vastly different targets. Instagram normalizes around −14 LUFS, while TikTok and YouTube Shorts range between −13 and −14 LUFS.
Mastering to the platform's specific target ensures your content sounds full and commands attention in the feed. Lappaa Pro resolves the volume disparity by letting you assign the correct LUFS target per export. The app measures the integrated loudness and normalizes it seamlessly on your device.
- Adjustable target: −23 to −14 LUFS
- Integrated loudness measurement applied prior to normalization
- Safety limiter at −2 dBTP ensures zero distortion
- Executes during export — no separate mastering stage required
Platform loudness targets
Optimal output for music and voice
Music tracks and dynamic voice recordings require precise leveling before social upload. A track mastered for high impact (−6 LUFS) might be compressed awkwardly by a platform's built-in limiter. Lappaa Pro allows you to conform those tracks to −14 LUFS with a True Peak ceiling, ensuring the energy translates perfectly without introducing compression artifacts.
Why normalization outperforms a manual volume boost
Increasing gain blindly can push peaks past 0 dBFS, inducing digital clipping and distortion. Lappaa's mastering engine measures the file's integrated loudness, applies calculated gain, and enforces a −2 dBTP limiter. This guarantees increased loudness without structural degradation.
Frequently asked questions
What is LUFS and why does it matter for social media?
LUFS measures perceived audio loudness. Formatting your video to meet a platform's target means your content sounds consistent and clear amidst the broader feed.
Does it require an internet connection?
No. The entire mastering suite operates locally on your device during export.
Will mastering distort or clip my audio?
No. Lappaa utilizes a strict −2 dBTP safety limiter alongside normalization to preclude digital clipping entirely.
Is this a Lappaa Pro feature?
Yes. The adjustable LUFS feature (−23 to −14) unlocks with Lappaa Pro.
