Add audio eects
In addition to the built-in audio enhancement features of Final Cut Pro, you can take advantage
of 64-bit OS X built-in and third-party Audio Units (AU) eects for your audio processing tasks.
Final Cut Pro also comes with an extensive range of custom audio eects and professional Logic
Eects, which are digital signal processing (DSP) eects and processors that are used to color or
tonally shape existing audio recordings and audio sources—in real time.
Some of the most common processing options include noise reduction, pitch correction,
EQs, dynamic processors, and reverbs. Further advanced features include delays, modulations,
distortions, bass enhancement, and time-altering processors and utilities. Some custom eects
included with Final Cut Pro combine multiple eects to create a particular sound environment,
such as a cathedral.
You can add eects to individual clips or to a compound clip. Once you add an eect, you can
adjust its settings using the Audio inspector.
