Audio tools and techniques

Enhance audio

Final Cut Pro includes several powerful tools for both analyzing and enhancing the audio portion
of clips, including:

Loudness: Improves the main audio signal and makes it more uniform.

Background Noise Removal: Reduces background noise.

Hum Removal: Reduces common electrical hum noise at either 50 or 60 Hz.

You can analyze audio and adjust loudness, background noise, and hum using the Audio
Enhancements inspector. You can also analyze and fix audio problems when you import a clip.

The Audio Enhancements section of the Audio inspector also includes:

Equalization: Enhances the high-end (treble), midrange, or low-end (bass) frequencies.

All enhancements are designed to correct most common audio problems automatically or with
minor adjustments.

Note: When you import a clip, the analyze and fix audio function only corrects severe audio
problems. If the clip contains moderate problems, these appear in yellow next to Audio Analysis
in the Audio Enhancements section of the Audio inspector after the clip is imported. To correct
these, you need to automatically enhance audio in the Audio Enhancements inspector.
