Adding more bass to tin can audio?
I see all the Apple and Final Cut Audio filters in the drop down menu. Messing with some of them. Wondering if anybody has had an issue similar to this and which filters or combination of filters and settings you used in the control panel?
FCP 7.0.2

Replacing lost information is always a challenge. You might have some success with the Apple/FCP filters, but it depends on what you’re starting with. Waves has a bass plugin that uses what they call psycho-acoustic technology. The plugin allows you to select a fundamental freq and it adds in harmonics of that freq thereby creating the impression of more bass. I don’t know if you can use it directly in FCP. I’ve used it in Pro Tools and it works well in the right situation.

The ability to create sub-harmonics is also available in Soundtrack Pro. The effect is called “SubBass”. Send your FCP project to Soundtrack Pro and see if the additional filters and effects there help you out at all.

OK, it sounds thin, but where and how much do you add?
Or, should you really reduce HF, or a little of both!
First, think about what your monitoring setup is. If you have lap top speakers or speakers with woofers smaller than 10″ (diameter), you can easily miscalculate what you need unless the program is played back on a similar system.
What sounds in the production do you think are tinny?
