Final Cut Pro Audio
I know that in Adobe Premier it is possible to take the highest pitch in the audio timeline and bring down all of the ambience while leaving that pitch the same level. In other words, filtering out loud ambient noise while leaving the dialogue relatively unharmed. I want to know if this is possible to do in Final Cut Pro.
On a side note about the DVX 100b, does anyone know what the “squeeze” option does? Does it cause loss of resolution? Is it true 1:85?

Yes, you do lose resolution because the camera is cutting off the top an bottom of your picture and then expanding what’s left to the 16:9 aspect ratio. The result is still a 720×480 picture but it’s anamorphic, so when you bring it into FCP or any other NLE you have to tell your program that it’s widescreen, then it will pop out to approx. 853×480.
If you don’t want to lose resolution but still need a widescreen picture use an anamorphic lens attachment. You leave the camera in 4:3 mode and the adapter will take a widescreen image and squeeze it into a fullscreen space. I use one on my PD170 all the time.

I thought that’s what the DVX-100b does. It is an anamorphic or electronic squeeze. It doesn’t lop off the top and bottom.
The DVX-100 didn’t do this and you had to rent a or buy an anamorphic lens attachment.

The 100A introduced the squeeze mode and it is an electronic process. The camera does a pretty good job (better than doing it in post) but it is upresing a image that is cropped top and bottom, same image as the letterbox setting with the black bars cropped out and pixels made to look correct at 16:9 (which is still 720×480) so the pixel aspect ratio is 1.2 vs. .9

sounds like you nedd to use a Noise Gate filter
see “Issue 5” within this great little intro to Audio Filters in FCP
https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/basic_audio_filter_tutoria.htmlalso, in the Final Cut Studio bundle you would probably want to use Soundtrack Pro for more advanced controls, with all manner of goodies such as using the Noise Print feature to remove an unwanted background noise, or the advanced frequency controls
