    Hallo!
    i´have just finished to edit a job and i´ve to prepare my soundtrack.
    I´ve 4 grup of audio tracks:
    Interview voice
    Voce over
    Soundtrack (music…)
    Audio FX (Applause, Crowd, etc…)
    I´ve just done a Noise reduction for audio track´s interview but i´ve
    to normalize all considering that the product will be a DVD SD Stereo (the volume value is 6dB?).
    CAn i make this operation all togheter or I must import in Sountrack Pro every audio tracks… and make so the normalization process ?
    (I hope noooooooo!)
    Have you also other suggestions to make better my soundtrack?

    THX!!!! A LOT

    Normalising just makes each clip as loud as it can be. This is not mixing and is not necessary. I mix audio properly on an external DAW and bring the mix back to FCP becasue FCP is a poor sound edit and mix tool.

    If you have nothing better and cannot afford a proper sound mix, then export to Soundtrack Pro and learn to mix without normalise.
