I haven't dug into LUFS normalization myself, but that sounds like exactly the kind of thing that'd save a ton of headaches—is that something you've already dialed in on your own stuff?

I use FabFilter Limiter with LUFS metering when working in Fruityloops but that's for working on level matching songs on post. I've never used LUFS metering for streaming because I don't stream. That said, I am familiar with OBS and am sure you could add an opensource LUFS meter at the end of your audio chain and tweak the gain and compression upstream of the meter to ensure you're leveled correct before ripping.

More Gemini (out with family sorry):
For a direct, open-source solution within OBS Studio, you can use the following plugins:

Loudness Dock: This is a dedicated open-source plugin that adds a dockable window to your OBS interface. It provides real-time EBU R 128 metering, including:
Integrated LUFS (average loudness).
Short-term and Momentary LUFS.
Loudness Range (LRA) and True Peak.

Master Level Meter: A lightweight open-source plugin that adds a floating window to monitor any of your Master tracks (Track 1–6). It displays:
Short LUFS levels.
Peak and RMS levels.
Visual indicators for which tracks are currently selected for your stream output.

Oh nice, that Loudness Dock plugin sounds exactly like what I'd need—real-time metering right in OBS would actually make this way less painful than I was imagining.

weird, i cant reproduce this, i significantly improved my audio process 10 episodes ago, have you listened to a recent rip?

I can't complain about audio but are you verifying LUFS between rips?

"To make audio volume consistent using LUFS, measure the Integrated LUFS of your tracks and normalize them to a consistent target (e.g., -14 LUFS for streaming) using gain, compression, or limiters. This ensures consistent perceived loudness across a project, preventing, for example, a quiet song from being immediately followed by a much louder one." - Quick Gemini Summary
