  • Automatic Audio Leveling

    Posted by Howie Chin on December 24, 2007 at 10:21 am

    I’m lookin for a plug-in or something that could help automatically level (or keyframe) the audio in FCP’s timeline to -12dB or any level specified 😉

    I hope there’s something more to the FCP’s audio peak detection.

    Cheers!

    No, nothing specifically to do that, but the Compressor/Limiter filter should get you where you’re going … check this quick tute over at genius dv

    there is a new feature called apply normalisation gain, this is misleading as it just raises peaks on clips to the same levels, nothing to do with equalising the clips properly

    you could use this but remember if you send to soundtrack pro it wont come across as it is a filter and not a proper levels command

    any proper sound work is best done in soundtrack pro, try sending out your keyframed levels audio from final cut pro and then use a limiter or compressor to match the dynamic range.

    i find final cut pro very very limiting when it comes to sound mixing

    lynda.com has some great tutorials on soundtrack pro and its filters as well by larry jordan
