Use Audio Units and Logic effects presets
Many Audio Units and Logic effects include built-in presets that are tailored for specific
settings or environments, such as reverb presets that simulate the acoustics of a small
room or a large cathedral. Presets make it easy to preview and apply effects quickly.
1. In Final Cut Pro, locate the effect in the Effects section of the Audio inspector.
2. Click the Preset pop-up menu and choose a preset.
You can preview your presets by using the skimmer or playing the clip in the timeline.
To return the effect to its default settings, click the Preset pop-up menu and choose
Default.
Edit and save custom Audio Units and Logic effects presets
You can edit preset parameters by adjusting the effect’s controls. If you want to keep your
changes, you can save them as as a custom preset.
1. In Final Cut Pro, locate the effect in the Effects section of the Audio inspector.
2. Click the Preset pop-up menu and choose a preset.
3. To see an effect’s parameters, do one of the following:
• Click the Controls button (to the right of the effect’s name) to show a larger window
with advanced controls.
• Click the Parameters disclosure triangle to show controls in the Audio inspector.
