In this video I will show you how to set your Audio levels to the correct specification to comply with YouTube's guidelines.
YouTube specify that you set your audio to no louder than 0DB at -14 LUFS.
So really you want to be setting your audio at anywhere from -6db to 0 and you need to be measuring this against a loudness level meter that can measure audio in the LUFS standard.
To do this you are going to need to use some video editing software with a loudness meter.
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to use the Loudness Level Meter in Adobe Premiere Pro CC to measure your audio and then adjust it to the right level.

Note:
Some people have asked about the loudness Meter Vs the Loudness Radar. Especially since the M1 version of Premiere Pro only has the Loudness Meter as an option. You can still use the Loudness Meter to make sure you hit the correct target.

While similar to the Loudness Radar, the Loudness Meter provides a different way for us to look at our audio.
While the Loudness Radar displays aggregate audio levels over time, the new Loudness Meter displays these values on a instant-by-instant basis.
Peak levels show us the instant by instant loudest portions of our audio, while average levels look at audio levels over time.
So if you are using the loudness meter, choose the YouTube Preset for example for -14 LUFS and keep an eye on the Integrated level meter. You need to play it back over the entire project or a good long portion and wait for it to adjust until you get the average reading.
Short-term and Momentary monitor short duration average levels.
Integrated is the level we are concerned with. This displays the on-going average levels for our program, and most closely matches the levels displayed by the Loudness Radar.
