Sound plugin
Posted by Jack Fox on January 21, 2008 at 8:37 pmIs there a plugin that works like the broadcast safe filter to assure that the sound is within preferred limits (-18)?

FCP is not an audio mastering tool as you can’t bus mix to create stem elements or peak limit mixes, only clips. The compressor limiter in FCP is functional but not a patch on units found in DAWs and mixers.
