Batch audio loudness normalization to EBU R128 is automated using a 2-pass ffmpeg-normalize workflow. It measures and applies target loudness across multiple files, ensuring consistent playback volume while preserving non-audio streams.

2-pass EBU R128 loudness normalization first measures integrated loudness, then applies the target gain to audio files. It is needed when preparing podcasts or broadcasts for platform-ready outputs requiring consistent playback loudness across episodes.

Yes, ffmpeg and ffmpeg-normalize are required dependencies to run this batch audio normalization. The skill wraps ffmpeg-normalize to execute 2-pass EBU R128 loudness correction and requires both tools present in your environment.

Yes, you can set custom true peak (-tp) and LRA (-lrt) targets for EBU R128 broadcast normalization. The skill supports flexible options alongside target loudness (-t) and includes sensible codec handling for platform-ready outputs.

The best way to normalize multiple audio files while preserving non-audio streams is using batch directory workflows via ffmpeg-normalize. It applies EBU R128 loudness targets across folders and retains all original streams in the platform-ready outputs.

Yes, platform presets for broadcast, podcast, and streaming loudness normalization are available. These presets supply sensible defaults for target loudness, true peak, and LRA, while still allowing custom tailoring for specific audio collection requirements.
