# Loudness and audio cleanup pass

When to use it: Your mix is uneven between voices, music and effects and you need it ready for YouTube or a client spec.

File or timeline: [NAME]. Target: [YouTube about -14 LUFS integrated, true peak -1 dBTP] or [client spec].

1. Measure integrated loudness, loudness range and true peak, and report them.
2. Measure dialogue and music separately if they are on separate tracks.
3. Propose changes before applying them: dialogue level, music ducking under dialogue (how many dB), limiter settings.
4. After I confirm, apply them non destructively (track or clip gain, or a new export, never overwrite the source).
5. Measure again and show before and after numbers side by side.
6. List any spots where dialogue is still hard to hear, with timecodes.
