[Oliver Peters] “That’s correct. The volume control for the clip occurs after the application of the audio effect in the hierarchy of effects in FCPX. Therefore, adding a filter has no affect on the volume levels that you set.”
Just wanted to follow up. This little nugget is huge for me and explains so much about my frustrations with limiters up to this point. I’ve thus far been doing my mixing in the timeline, then throwing a limiter on the clip and wondering why no Limiting is taking place. I now know to add any gain that I need from within the Limiter filter *first*, and then make further adjustments in the timeline.
Awesome tip!

Yea, this is how any audio mixer would work. The FX inserts on the channel are always pre-fader. The volume on the clip is the equivalent of your channel fader on a mixer.
What FCP X is missing are audio buses. I really miss those coming from Sony Vegas Pro. There needs to be some way to sum the audio and control it without having to make compound clips. Even if there was a master audio bus output that you could place the brick wall limiter on would help the overall mix stay broadcast legal.

Yeah, I’ve always wanted a ‘compress’ option on any export to accomplish this exact thing.
