Why use Aback Video for this
Boost without clipping
A limiter catches peaks when you boost, so loud moments do not crackle.
Loudness normalisation
Two-stage EBU R128 measurement brings quiet and loud recordings to the same perceived level.
Video or audio
Works on the sound inside a video, keeping the picture untouched, or on audio files.

Frequently asked questions
How many dB should I add?
6 dB sounds roughly one and a half times as loud, 10 dB about twice as loud. Start with 6 and increase if needed.
What is LUFS and which target should I use?
LUFS measures perceived loudness. YouTube and Spotify play at about -14 LUFS, Apple Podcasts suggests -16, and broadcast uses -23. Normalising to the platform's level keeps your video from sounding quieter than others.
Will boosting a very quiet recording make it sound good?
It will be louder, but background noise rises too. Run Reduce Background Noise first if hiss becomes obvious.
Is the picture re-encoded?
No. For videos, only the audio is processed and the video stream is copied.
Is my file uploaded?
No. The volume change is done by FFmpeg inside your browser.
Can I use this on a phone?
Yes. It is quick on phones because only the audio is processed.
