    Modify Audio to be at -12 db.

    Posted by Adam Berch on September 15, 2015 at 12:19 am

    Hi,

    If I am adjusting my audio tracks to peak at -12 or 16db, is there a way to Modify Audio and pick the db you want it to be be peaked at (I did this in FCP 7 all the time) or do I just have to keep adjusting the volume until I get it to where I want it?

    Thanks

    How did you do this in FCP 7?

    normalize. and broadcast safe. used to act as limiters. not sure why -12? why not -6? haven’t used 7 in a couple of years so I might be wrong.

    The answer can be found in the Audio Hard Limiter thread. Basically you set up the Compressor as a hard limiter and save the preset and then apply it to all of your audio clips with cut-n-paste, or else as a final step, make a compound clip of all of your audio clips and apply it to the compound clip before rendering.
