Volume Booster for Spotify
If you're uploading music or podcasts to Spotify, your content is normalized to -14 LUFS. Mastering too quietly means your track sounds weak compared to others in a playlist.
Fix quiet Spotify audio instantly
Why Is Your Spotify Audio Quiet?
- Spotify normalizes all audio to -14 LUFS — quiet masters stay quiet relative to others
- Dynamic masters with lots of quiet sections sound softer overall
- Podcasts mastered below -14 LUFS won't be boosted by Spotify
- Volume normalization settings on the listener's end (Normal, Loud, Quiet modes)
- Bluetooth codec compression can further reduce perceived loudness
How to Boost Spotify Audio with Loudify
Check your master's LUFS level
Use a LUFS meter to check your track. If it's below -14 LUFS, it will sound quieter than other content on Spotify.
Boost to -14 LUFS target
Use Loudify to boost your audio to the right level. For podcasts, -16 LUFS is Apple Podcasts' standard but -14 works for Spotify.
Check true peak levels
Keep true peak below -1 dBTP to prevent clipping on lossy codecs. Loudify's smart amplification helps prevent this.
Export and distribute
Upload your properly leveled audio through your distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, etc.).
- Master to -14 LUFS for Spotify — this is the universal sweet spot
- Spotify turns DOWN loud content but does NOT turn UP quiet content
- For podcasts, -16 LUFS mono works across both Spotify and Apple Podcasts
- Check our LUFS Standards reference for targets across all platforms
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Spotify boost quiet songs?+
Spotify's normalization can boost quiet tracks when set to 'Normal' or 'Loud' mode, but the boost may introduce artifacts. It's better to master to -14 LUFS so Spotify doesn't need to modify your audio.
What LUFS should I target for Spotify?+
-14 LUFS integrated with -1 dBTP true peak. This matches Spotify's normalization target perfectly, meaning your audio plays back exactly as you mastered it.
Can I use Loudify for music mastering?+
Loudify is great for quick volume boosts and noise cleanup. For professional music mastering, you'd want a full DAW, but Loudify works well for podcasts, voice recordings, and video audio.
