Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Raising volume by more than 12dB

  • Raising volume by more than 12dB

    Posted by Jay Wolf on May 1, 2007 at 7:35 pm

    I’ve applied a bandpass filter and consequently my volume has gone down to barely audible. So I’ve raised my audio levels with 12 dB and that still isn’t enough.
    I am not at all familiar with Soundtrack Pro and have not had the time (and still haven’t) to delve into it but have tried to send my audio file to Soundtrack Pro to further raise the volume level/apply gain- but without succes.
    I select my file in ST Pro and go to Process-Effects-Miscellaneous but Gain remains greyed out… Close but no cigar.

    Anyone help me light this one?

    Thanks,

    Wolf

    Apply the AU Dynamics Processor filter in Audio Filters—Apple Folder in FCP and adjust the master gain as appropriate.

    As discussed in previous post, you may also ‘bodge’ this by nesting the audio and adjusting the levels on the nested sequence. Gives you another 12db to play with!

    Use the Compressor-Limiter filter in the Final Cut Pro Audio filters.

    Set it to -20, 2, 20, 200 and check “Preserve Volume” That should give you plenty of extra volume.

    Or if it’s one or just a few clips, you can simply duplicate the clip and put it on another track for more volume. BTW, all the suggestions above, and this one, have been
    given a bunch of times. If you do a search of the posts first you won’t have to ask.

    Or open the clip in quicktime, boost the volume there in properties, save the clip.

    OR… apply the AUPeakLimiter filter and adjust the pregain.
