  • I will cover how to improve your voice in Final Cut Pro X by using compressor, EQ and the Limiter. If you have any secrets to improving audio let me know in the comments below.
    This video is geared towards the beginner learning to improve audio.
    I am using a Shure SM57, and Native Instruments integrated amp, into OBS on a MAC.
    You should really use a good set of headphones to edit audio.

    Do you have any tips on how to soften wind using EQ?

    • @Jcwphoto
      @Jcwphoto  3 года назад

      Thanks, the best way to soften wind is to not get wind noise. Good audio is key. However, I understand sometimes there is nothing you can do. You can try a low pass removal. You will need to adjust the frequency to find out what works best. If you have other low frequencies in your audio than this might not work.

    Hi John. I really enjoyed your video. I am a complete novice when it comes to audio editing and your video is by far the best I have watched. It was clearly explained with excellent delivery. Well done and thank you. I have a question if I may. If I understand correctly, the compressor reduces the dynamic range of the audio file to make the sound more even. The limiter, on the other hand, limits the maximum level. Based on this understanding, I was a little surprised when you used the limiter to raised the minimum as well. Isn’t that what the compressor does? I am a little confused on that point. Thanks again and be well.

    • @Jcwphoto
      @Jcwphoto  3 года назад

      You are correct. I think after I used the equalizer the entire volume was still slightly low. I use a gain of 1.5 today in the limiter to slightly raise the volume. This could be done in the compressor as well.

  • @AndySomething
    @AndySomething 3 года назад

    Great video!! I've just finished my first ever youtube/final cut pro project. It's a 1.5 hour vlog. From watching this video I can only see myself really using the compressor and limiter. But the limiter seems to be able to do what the compressor does mostly, in terms of boosting the quiet parts so would that alone be sufficient? I've also got external music tracks in the video. I assume I should apply a limiter etc to those too? Sorry for the noobie questions! Any advice would be appreciated!! :D

    • @Jcwphoto
      @Jcwphoto  3 года назад

      You are correct. The limiter will keep audio from clipping. However, it is hard to be specific because it depends on how loud you want the music. I think you get it though

  • @kulwinderdhanoasinger

      You can do it but I don’t know if there is a difference. I don’t use logic and don’t mix music.

  • @Nomadboatbuilding
    @Nomadboatbuilding 2 года назад +1

    That was an excellent rundown of those effects. I'm just curious though, why you use the separate limiter effect rather than let the compressor do it for you? Seems like they are applying the exact same controls.

    • @Jcwphoto
      @Jcwphoto  2 года назад

      Correct you could use the other tool to use the limiter. I like the separate controls if I need to change something. I think that that limiter works better. Not a great answer. Either way you will have nice results.

    Hi John would you please do a video on the final mix down of voice over, sync sound, effects and music? There are some but all the ones I have come across just skip over areas such as balancing the levels and what levels tracks should be as a start.

    • @Jcwphoto
      @Jcwphoto  4 года назад +1

      for sync sound do you mean a syncing a video with audio and then a separate audio recording to use the better audio sound. Do you mean adding music to a video or editing music audio? Specifics are helpful.

    • @DaveKnowlesFilmmaker
      @DaveKnowlesFilmmaker 4 года назад

      @@Jcwphoto Hi John thanks for replying. What I meant was having say three or four separate track with a video. For example a music, sync fx's and voice over then doing a mix down of those tracks into a final mixed master. The problem I think many people have and you come across it many, many times on RUclips (and often from people who should know better) is the music maybe too high or you cannot hear the effects due to the levels of each track competing against each other. The video that are on RUclips tend to explain the theory and not the practical job of doing the mix and hear how it sounds if wrong and right.

    Thank you for taking time to explain this. Question, my timeline audio clip levels are in the red after adjusting with the audio effects, but my FCPX audio meter is nowhere close to clipping. It sounds good to my ear, no real auditory distortion that I can make out and the dialogue is now hitting -4, -3 on the FCPX audio meter. If I go back in the effects and adjust to get out of the red within the clips, the output goes down to -12 on the FCPX audio meter... super quiet. Which meter do I trust? Does anybody have any thoughts? Cheers!

      @h80k 8 месяцев назад

      @@Jcwphoto Yes using headphones. I did more research and found out FCPX does some sort of an automatic 6db difference in the sound level? I didn't really get it but it was concluded that when making an audio clip Dual Mono, to select Dialogue under the Pan Mode menu in the same inspector window with an Amount of 50.0 to mitigate this issue and disparity in level meters within timeline audio clips and the main audio meter. I also discovered that after selecting a compressor effect, if I select a limiter effect, it stacks the limiter UNDER the compressor in the inspector. By moving the limiter ON TOP of the compressor in the inspector everything worked a lot better. Thanks again for your video. Helped me to really understand these concepts and now with the Dual Mono pan mode trick on timeline audio clips, audio editing is a breeze! Happy Thanksgiving!

      Kind of hard to answer that question. If you are dealing with just audio, it would depend on the type of mic you used and what you are trying to achieve. Really, I would use logic, audition or another audio program for that rather than FCPX.
