[Martin Baker]

Apply the Effects > Audio Filters > Apple > AUPeakLimiter to the clip

then you can get up to 40dB of gain by adjusting the Pre-Gain slider.

You can also use the AUDynamics filter which has the same Master Gain, plus the option of adding some compression.

Hi Dave,
The easier way, I think, is just to duplicate the same audio in another channel.

Yea if your in a hurry you can just copy the clip onto another layer.
If you have soundtrack you can bring the clip into the editer and use that…duplicating the clip works there too and you have noise reduction options.

Brilliant! Thanks guys!

I’ll try the filter before I double up layers (so as not to cause issues in soundtrack later).

I hit that wall often, so I created a favorites filter effect for dynamics processing with about an 8 pt boost. I rarely have to do any additional adjustment, but if so it’s fairly straightforward.

Here’s howto set it up. Once you have your master gain of the dyn proc effect to the point you like, drag the effect from the viewer into your favorites folder. If you find you’re using this for more than one or two effects, you may want to select all and then drop ALL of your audio by about 4 or 5 ticks (opt-cmd-L, I think). It’s always better to go without an effect if possible.

Jhon,
you use the Apple AUDinamic Procesor?

Yep, that’s the one.
