Mixing Audio-Quick Crash Course?
Hi,
Can some one please give me a quick crash course in mixing audio with FCP?
I see that if I double click the audio track I get some controls in the viewer, I need to be able to ride my music up and down over dialogue. In Premiere when you click the red line on the audio track it gives you a key frame so you can pull the red line up and down to do your mix.
I assume FCP has a similat sys in place?
Thanks

In the viewer, you will see a line through the waveform for levels. Add keyframes with option click. Do the same to an aucio track in the timeline. Open the audio mixer from the tools menu, lots more finesse with adjustments with that. Levels depend on what your final destination is to a great extent. A ballpark total mix of -12 db ain’t a bad starting point.

Ah yes that works great, thanks!

You can also ‘hot mix’ your levels if you have turn on the record audio keyframes option. You hit play, have your mixer open, and FCP will record the levels that you ride on the mixer. Extremely handy when doing final mixing. You can set the amount of keyframes FCP records in your preferences.
