[Jubal] “is there any way to view a clip in the viewer with just one click, no double click?”
Oh, come ON!

Aren’t these “MyBook” external drives only USB2 and not FW?
If so, USB is not considered a suitable transfer path for FCP video.
FW is only barely approved by Apple.

While background hum and certain continuous-type noises are relatively easy to isolate and reduce with special digital filtering…
Reverb/Echo is one of the most IMPOSSIBLE-to-fix of audio problems, second only to severely CLIPPED (over-driven) levels.
“EQ” won’t do it.
Its reverb (repetition) of the PRIMARY audio… the same frequency that you want to KEEP.The “Noise Gate” is probably the best choice, but it will surely PUMP if its set high enough to have very much effect on the reverb. (So it could end up making many tracks sound worse.)
Whatever you try will adversely affect the overall QUALITY of the audio being “fixed” and be very noticeable to the listener (especially compared to any “good” audio in the same production).
The phrase that applies is: “GOOD audio is the absence of BAD audio.”
Therefore the best cure for BAD audio… is recording GOOD audio.
If it was as simple as adding filters,
major producers of motion pictures and TV shows would NOT spend the big bucks and TIME it takes
to LOOP (replace with ADR) any “bad” location audio with the actors re-recording the same dialogue (lip-syncing) in a quiet studio.I know that re-recording is not always possible, that’s not my point here.
What IS the point is that once you have a poorly-recorded audio track,
under certain conditions, it just can’t be “fixed”.— If the VIDEO is out-of-focus and the person talking is not framed correctly:
A. Re-shoot it.
B. Add filters and suffer the obvious reduced quality.
C. Don’t USE it (Substitute another shot.)
D. Suffer with, it as-is.
AND: MONITOR more carefully the next time.— If the AUDIO is “off-mic” (reverb or echo) or severely over-modulated (clipped):
A. Re-shoot it.
B. Add filters and suffer the obvious reduced quality.
C. Don’t USE it (Substitute another track.)
D. Suffer with, it as-is.
AND: MONITOR more carefully the next time. -
Sounds normal to me.
Video scan lines always create artifacts on high-rez images that “roll” up or down.
Try adding the “Gaussian Blur” filter set to a very low value (try settings between 0.25 and 2.5) to your graphic and see if that helps take the “edge” off of the jaggies.

This is the kind of “continuous” noise that a program like Bias “SoundSoap” can help remove.

Bias has recently released “SoundSoap 2”
https://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundsoap/
SoundSoap 2 is priced at about $100.
If you have Apple’s “Soundtrack,” it has the same kind of sampling noise reduction filter.
To put a single channel of audio onto both channels, just PAN that channel to the CENTER and increase its level by about 3 to 6 dB.

[Trevor Ward] “What do you mean by “bounce around.””
Maybe too much of THIS on the timeline?

That’s sounds like a Render issue.
Are you sure you are rendering at the highest quality?

[Tim Counihan] “Or better yet, while your VTR is in record digitizing simultaneously getting the code from there?”
FCP will capture TC coming from a deck.
“Capture Now” with the “Non-controllable device” preset.

Are you Rendering at highest quality?
Did you try adding a bit of “Edge Feather” under the Crop settings in the Motion Tab?
Have you made sure the Vertical position of these clips is set to a whole EVEN number?
