Remove audio effects in Final Cut Pro
You can remove all effects from a clip selection, or you can use the Remove Attributes
command to remove selected attributes and effects. The second method provides more
control over individual effects and settings and is similar to copying selected effects to a
clip selection using the Paste Attributes command.
If you’re not sure you want to remove an audio effect, you can turn it off but retain its
settings.
Remove selected attributes and effects from one or more clips
1. Select one or more clips in the Final Cut Pro timeline.
2. Choose Edit > Remove Attributes (or press Shift-Command-X).
The Remove Attributes window opens, with the clip’s current effects and attributes
selected.
3. Deselect the checkboxes for the effects or attributes you want to retain, and select the
checkboxes for the effects or attributes you want to remove.
4. Click Remove.
Selected clip effects are removed from the clips entirely. Selected built-in effects (such
as Volume and Pan) are reset to their default values.
Note: You can also remove an individual effect from a clip in the timeline using the Audio
inspector or the Audio Animation editor. Simply select the effect and press Delete.
