ReplayGain Track Gain Calculator

Compute the ReplayGain 2.0 track gain tag from a measured loudness against the −18 LUFS reference used by foobar2000, MusicBrainz and others.

ReplayGain track gain tag (dB)

ReplayGain 2.0 standardized on a −18 LUFS reference and BS.1770 measurement (replacing the old psychoacoustic model). Players read the tag and apply this gain so every track plays at −18 LUFS. A loud −9.5 master gets a −8.5 dB tag; a quiet folk track gets a positive boost.

Rule / Formula

REPLAYGAIN_TRACK_GAIN = −18 LUFS − measured LUFS (ReplayGain 2.0 reference)
References: ReplayGain 2.0 specification (Hydrogenaudio); ITU-R BS.1770
