How to get the best results
For DJs and mixtape creators
To get the best results out of LevelMix as a DJ, make sure it has a good starting point. Even though LevelMix is powerful enough to even out the most drastic volume changes, the end result will be far greater if you already try to volume match while mixing. In this situation, LevelMix will take your mix that final 10%, glue it all together and put it at your target loudness level. This will make the listening experience far more enjoyable for your audience.
Additional tips:
- check Avoid heavily compressed or clipped source audio for optimal results
- check Use higher quality source files (WAV or FLAC) when possible for best audio fidelity
- check Choose the appropriate LUFS target for your intended platform or use case

Common questions
How long does processing take?
Processing time varies based on file size and current queue load. A typical 1-hour mix usually processes in 1-3 minutes. Premium and Professional users get priority processing for faster results.
Will normalization affect audio quality?
Our normalization process uses industry-standard algorithms that preserve audio quality. We apply proper limiting and true-peak limiting to prevent clipping while maintaining the dynamic characteristics of your audio.
Can I process the same file multiple times?
Yes! You can experiment with different LUFS targets to find what works best for your content. Each processing session counts toward your monthly allowance.
What happens to my files after processing?
Your processed files remain available for download for 30 days. After that, they're automatically deleted for security and privacy. We recommend downloading your files promptly.
