Audio Filters: Apple vs Final Cut Pro

[Ben Insler]

I believe – though I’m not 100% sure – that the FCP audio filters consist of the set that are only bundled with FCP. The Apple filters are either bundled with the OS or QT Pro. I honestly can’t remember if there is any performance benefit (native RT vs Rendering) with the FCP filter set, but you can figure that out with a bit of playing around.

They both suck!
Use protoold or soundtrack.
Lets hope fcpx has proper AudioUnit support.

Hi
The Apple filters are Audio Units OS plug-ins , available to any Mac program, like Soundtrack Pro or Logic Studio. Other programs often have a much better easier graphical user interface to apply the filters than FCP allows.
