    Hi All! Putting a video together with a rockin’ music bed that cuts to real life explosion. The music is at -12 dB and when I mix my multiple explosions (multiple audio tracks for ONE realistic sound) the explosion sounds bland, wimpy, and not impressive. Any FCP audio filter suggestions?! (re-posting in Soundtrack Pro forum, too)

    Thanks!

    Good brickwall limiters are needed to get the punch into an explosion. By far the easiest way is to use an explosion sound effect from a library that has been pre processed and has grunt.

    Libraries like Hollywood Edge & Sound Ideas have some good ones.
