  • How to fix Audio – MONO – Final Cut X

    Posted by Stephan Scrofani on September 20, 2016 at 8:57 pm

    I have a filmed Skype interview, split screen style. The problem is the audio from one person is too low and audio of the other person is overblown.

    Unfortunately, I don’t have one person on each channel.

    Is there any way, other than manually key framing one person to an appropriate volume, that I can fix the discrepancy between the audio for each person?

    Thank you in advance for your help,

    Steph

    Try the Adaptive Leveler in Auphonic. (Desktop app. or the Web Service). You’ll need to process the audio outside of FCPX. Then re-import.

    Try using a compressor. It should fix the problem like this in most cases.

    Here is a MacBreak Studio on using the compressor that’s built into FCPX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXxD0L9d7OU

    Everyone probably knows this but you can also drag the range select (R key = range select mode) horizontally over the clip then drag that audio range up and down and it will adjust that region, putting a head/tail transition on the adjusted range.
