Today's in depth Final Cut Pro audio tutorial is focused on showing you how to create better sounding audio for you or your talent's voice. Whether it be creating better sounding audio for commercial/personal voiceovers, interviews, or YouTube videos, the steps we'll take in today's tutorial should set you on the right path towards creating great sounding voice audio. Today's process will include using a few Channel EQs, the built-in Compressor in Final Cut, a Limiter, and CrumplePop Echo Remover (not always necessary). There are definitely different ways to have your subjects voice sound great, however this method I've found to be the most effective for me. ๐ง I'D HIGHLY SUGGEST WEARING HEADPHONES FOR THIS VIDEO BY THE WAY ๐ง It's really hard to tell the difference on cell phones and stock computer speakers ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น Here's the timestamps for different 'sections' and topics so you can easily access them if you need to revisit the video! 00:00 Intro 00:32 Changing pan mode for stereo track 00:38 Introduction to Channel EQs 00:57 EQ Sweeping to remove bad frequencies 02:37 'Audio Shaping' Channel EQ 03:40 CrumplePop EchoRemover to remove echo 04:07 Compressor for audio 05:59 Limiter for audio 06:55 Save effects presets for later use! ๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น๐น โช๏ธCompressor Settings --Zero the compressor-- -Threshold 0 -Ratio 1:1 -Attack 10ms -Release 30ms **Monitor input gain.
