Today's in depth Final Cut Pro audio tutorial is focused on showing you how to create better sounding audio for you or your talent's voice. Whether it be creating better sounding audio for commercial/personal voiceovers, interviews, or UA-cam videos, the steps we'll take in today's tutorial should set you on the right path towards creating great sounding voice audio.
Today's process will include using a few Channel EQs, the built-in Compressor in Final Cut, a Limiter, and CrumplePop Echo Remover (not always necessary). There are definitely different ways to have your subjects voice sound great, however this method I've found to be the most effective for me.
🎧 I'D HIGHLY SUGGEST WEARING HEADPHONES FOR THIS VIDEO BY THE WAY 🎧
It's fairly hard to tell the difference on cell phones and stock computer speakers

It is CRAZY the amount of value you're bringing! CRAZY! 💀💀💀
Haha I got you brotha! 👊🏼
Excellent video. Thank you
Glad you liked it, Kevin! Thanks for watching man 👊
This is the better Final Cut's tutorial channel that I ever found
Wow brotha, thanks so much! 🙏🏼
Bro where did you come from. UA-cam algorithm did me a HUGE favour by introducing you to me. I am in LOVEE with your content. So simple, straight to the point, no non-sense videos. Keep doing this brother. You got yourself a fan!!!
I’ve been here for 3 and a half years 😂 I think UA-cam just started pushing my stuff in 2022, which is a little nuts, but I’m glad it did! Thanks so much for the kind words brotha! 👊🏼 I really do appreciate it. Glad to have you a part of the channel 🤙🏼
excellent video! easy guide and it makes a significant difference
So glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching 😊
This is practically my first time looking into audio correction! Thanks for sharing Dylan you're awesome!!! 🙌🏻
Well awesome! Glad you enjoyed the video, Richard 😊
Another great tutorial Dylan!
Thanks for watching, my friend!
This video is GOLD! Followed your steps and saved them as a preset and man, I dont hate recording voice overs anymore! Thank you so so so much!!!
Stoked to hear that 😊 Thanks for watching!
Thanks Dylan. Your detailed instructions helped me understand a lot of the sound editing process. Especially the EQ sweeping. Having the target settings was very helpful in all the different tools.
I’m so glad Marlene! Thanks for letting me know ☺️🙏🏼
I'm binge watching your tutorials now. I've been using Final Cut since Final Cut Express and I'm still learning things from your videos. You're concise and clear, and you don't just say "Do this and it'll sound good," rather you explain what it's doing and why it helps. I've watched tutorials on paid sites like Lynda and your quality beats their comprehensive courses. Excellent, excellent job. Please never stop!
Wow hahaha that's such an awesome thing to read. Thanks so much man! Seriously 🙏🏼 It just feels unnatural if I don't explain why I'm doing something. I'm glad to hear that that's something you appreciate. I'll keep em' flowin dude! Thanks for the kind words.
Stellar work, Dylan
Thank you Sean 👊🏼
So good as usual Dylan! Ive used your techniques for a while and they help so much. Thank you
Thank you Korrie! That's awesome to hear they're helping. I appreciate you letting me know!
Brilliant! Can’t wait to try this! Thanks bro!🙏🏽👊🏾
My pleasure! ☺️👊🏼
I have watched several voice audio editing in FCP videos today and yours was the best! I was amazed at other videos that only provided numeric values verbally (no titles) and were produced using audio of the speaker that had some bad frequencies and room reverberation. Your advice is great, on-point, well-conveyed and your audio mix sounds terrific.
Wow, thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I really appreciate it 😄
Additionally, you are concise!🙂@@dylanjohndickerson
You are the first person that gave me some numeric advice on the audio settings. Although I was familiar with the concepts, I needed your examples and advice on what to set the actual parameters. Many thanks.
Well awesome 😊 Happy to hear that I helped out. Thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know!
This is amazing!! Definitely sharing w my friends
Cool! Glad you liked it 👍
Wow. This was so incredibly helpful, Dylan! You explain things in such a clear way. Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much, Daniel! I really appreciate that 🙏
Thank you, Dylan! Love you brother.
Thanks for watching, brotha!
Love your channel! Please keep the tutorials coming!
Thank you! Will do!
You have just given us the tools to vastly improve the audio on our channel. Thanks so much, you deserve WAY more views for this video!
Haha thanks so much! I appreciate you letting me know the video helped. It makes the time I put into them worth it. Happy Editing ✌️
@@dylanjohndickerson Just finished our first video with new and improved audio. I wonder if the audience will notice the difference tonight! I suspect you need to hear the two version next to each other to really get it.
I’ve learned more great tips from you in two days than I have from many others over the course of a year. Thank you! I wish I had known this particular tip about 6 months ago.
😀 Wow! What awesome feedback to receive! Thanks so much!
Adding compressor really helped my audio quality. Thank you.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
I just used this on my latest video and what a huge difference it made. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad it helped 😊
Excellent!
Thanks Randy!
awesome video man, thank you so much!

Thanks my friend! I appreciate your support! 🙏🏼
Whoaaaa yet another awesome tool I learned about, Compressor, THANK YOUUUU 🙏🏽
You bet! Thanks for watching 😊
I just published my new short video based on your voice audio tutorial. I have learned so much and my sound editing is miles better. Thanks!
So awesome to hear, Omid! Glad I could help out 👊
Changing the audio to 'dialogue' was a simple and super helpful tip! I am not sure what the difference is between that and changing it to 'dual mono' but I seem to get clearer dialogue with that change. Thanks so much!
My pleasure, Jeff! Glad it helped 👊
Great one as always! Thanks man!
Thanks so much, Fatih!
Help a lot. Thanks!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

@@dylanjohndickerson No Doubt!!!
Bro! Wish I would have found this when I started my channel. I've been struggling with audio for over a year! The difference is night and day. I'll definitely be using this in my next video!
Awesome Jake! Well at least you know now. Glad I could help out 😊
I watched sooo many audio tutorials, and this is definitely one of the best I've seen. Thanks so much!
😄 Awesome! So happy to hear that.
This is literally the best 👍

Thanks!
Very well done and useful!! Thank you brotha!!
Thanks so much duder! 👊🏼
Really helpful info...thanks so much!
Oh wow! Kat thank you so so much! How unbelievably kind of you. 🙏🏼
@@dylanjohndickerson This saved me so much time… I’m using a new Shure microphone with a Scarlett Solo and a Cloudlifter and was still getting terrible sound. I’m not a sound person, so it was frustrating, and I’ve looked at so many UA-cam videos and even purchased a tutorial. Yours is by far the easiest to understand. I don’t know if you have a full-blown course on better sound, but you have a gift! As someone who creates videos, I know what goes into making these, and I appreciate your time and willingness to share. Thank you! (I’m talking myself into a bigger donation…)
@@KatAdair I've heard great things about that microphone but ya it's so true. Cleaning it up in post is so essential. I really appreciate that 🙏🏼 I don't have an audio course at the moment but you've inspired me to start creating more tutorials on sound. I'm no sound expert, by any means, but I'll share what I know and what I learn. Thank YOU so much for the donation Kat.
Very helpful, thanks a lot!
You’re welcome Mario! Thanks for letting me know 👊🏼
That was a great one, very helpful as well ! Thanks
Thanks so much! :) And you're welcome!
thankyou so much dylan
It's my pleasure! 😊 Thank you for watching my friend.
You're the first to help me actually understand all of this! lol! Thank you so much!
That's awesome to hear, Pat 😊 Thank you so much for watching.
dang that's intense. great tips and suggestions though, thanks for sharing
Thanks a ton, Ben! I just realized I watched your Spikeball video a year or so ago. Such a fun game. Just subbed to check out your other content 🤘
I play this video every time I edit a video. :) I can't thank you enough for it.
It's my pleasure 😊 You do know you can save all of those adjusted effects as 1 preset right? That way you don't have to adjust things every time.
@@dylanjohndickerson yes, but I rarely shoot in the same environment. I’m sure I’ll have it memorized soon lol
@@bakerke1 Ahhh makes sense then. Then yes, I'm glad you're coming coming back to the video 😊 haha
This is f**king amazing bro!
😂 You’re f@&king amazing Patrick! Thanks for letting me know you liked it man 🤙🏼
I got real good advice from this video. Thanks for that.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and letting me know it helped 😊
The best!
Thanks so much!
This was pretty useful, ty:)
My pleasure :) thanks for watching!
Thank you great video
Thanks so much for watching!
I have been following you for awhile. This tutorial has blown my mind!! Thank for the explanation about the compressor & other audio features. I’m getting back into working with Color Finale. I mad the mistake when FCPX came out with the voice isolation feature. I mistakenly uploaded my FCPX to use voice isolation. Only to find out Color Finale hadn’t updated yet in short I’m back to using it again. You have made some great tutorials! Thank you. Yet this tutorial was so giving & informational. It’s going to make me follow & study your tutorials even more. I’m going study your Luts tutorial farther. I use the X-Rite video target. I want to be a bad ass using FCPX & Color finale for my color grading.
Happy to help, brotha! Thanks for all the support 👊🏼
GOAT THANKYOU
My pleasure 👊🏼 thanks for watching!
Thank you! this Channel will be my teacher from now :D
My pleasure! Sweet! Welcome to class 😜
Dude, you just saved my audio. Thank you so so much!
It's my pleasure! Glad you found it helpful 😊 thanks so much for watching.
Amazing video as always. Informational and professional. I wonder why there’re so few views.
Thanks so much Phirumkento 👊🏼 I posted it this morning, so hopefully it’ll pick up. Thanks for your support my friend
Thanks a lot :)
You're welcome Joey!
Quick additional tip: in addition to pressing forward slash to start a clip from the beginning, if you do this first View > Playback > Loop Playback (or press Command-L) then when you press forward slash it'll actually loop the clip indefinintely or audio selection indefinitely so that you can just concentrate on the audio editing.
Great point! I forgot to bring that up!
Thank you so much ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you dylan
Thanks for watching!
This. Was. AWESOME! I've been meaning to brush up on my audio game and just happened to come across this thinking, "Meh, whatever, quick review I guess..." Nope! Totally taught me some new tricks (namely EQ Sweeping)!
ONLY suggestion for future vids would be to have a brief explanation of attack/release on the various filters. Fortunately I'm familiar with them, but I think it's important enough to mention to people coming in fresh to the topic.
Thanks for the vid!
Thank you Scott! That’s awesome to hear! Also thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼 I was going to go more in depth, but people have a hard enough time sticking around for 8 minutes as it is. I figured I’d just lay out the steps, and if I get enough feedback for more, then I’ll do a more in depth video on the compressor/limiter.
Thanks a ton for the feedback!
Thank you.
You're welcome!
this could massively improve our quality of audio!
Awesome! I know it will, Sherwin 🤘

Best 7 min of my life spent in a video
Well holy hell haha that's quite the compliment. Thanks Jeison! 🙏 Have you checked out my video on sound design? You may enjoy that as well 😊ua-cam.com/video/CgMaU5QmpNc/v-deo.html
@@dylanjohndickerson I just noticed this morning Im on my way to watch it, Greetings from South America, Colombia. How is the future? ahahhaha. Im enjoying a lot learning with your channel and also the way how you explain everything.
@@JeisonMercado oh no way! Colombia is one of my favorite countries that I’ve ever visited. It’s absolutely gorgeous 🙌🏼 thank you for the kind words my friend! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos I’ve been creating.

Really great video. Any reason why you don't use the limiter built into the conpressor?
Thanks so much guys! That means a lot coming from you. I suppose that would probably be most efficient. I just got the sense after reading the Apple website about the limiter, that its features are a little more fine tuned, for lack of a better term, than the compressor's limiter (however I could be wrong). I did a little research on the appropriate way to set the FCP's limiter, and now it's just become a part of my workflow (especially because I've saved presets for different scenarios, so I seldom pull it up anyways).
This is a great tutoria! How do you know what values to give all the different settings in the compressor and limiter? Just trial and error? I'm super curious as to how you figured this all out!
Thanks Alec! I have a buddy who's a sound engineer and one time I asked him about the settings. And that's what he told me haha. I tested it out and sure enough, it sounded solid.
Quick question about audio output mix. It seems when I get my mix to the point I like, after it goes to Vimeo or UA-cam and is played back through a smaller speaker, (Iphone) the mix is nothing like I set. Is there a good workflow, other than going through the entire download process to set my audio mix across different platforms?
I know the problem. I'm not positive, but I'm not sure there's a good workflow to combat this.
The dislike on this video is someone who is mute. Been needing this for a while! Thanks my dude!
If you mean deaf, then I agree haha. Thanks brotha! Much appreciated as always 🙏
@@dylanjohndickerson nah man, definitely mute. They’re mad cause they can’t use these amazing tips to enhance their non-existent voice! 😂
Ahhhhh damn, I’m an idiot haha. So so true brotha.
👍👍👍
Good tutorial 🥹
Thanks so much!
Wow. Just found your channel,accidentally. This is perfect for a video I’m working on. Would love your thoughts on automotive sounds. Drop me a DM. PS, you just gained another subscriber! Thanks.
Thanks my friend! Much appreciated! 👊🏼
Great video, nicely done! With the adaptive limiter, are you usually looking to keep audio around -6 db in most cases? Curious how sounds are when played back across mobile phones, given we want the volume to be at decent levels with all the ambient noise that is likely around. I've heard some people say they may even aim for closer to 0 db when rendering the final video, whereas when recording -12 db is a good place to be. Thanks!
Thanks Jonathan! So I've actually changed that to -3 for me. I've found that that's a perfect volume across different devices. It's not too loud that people get annoyed and have to turn down their volume and it's not too quiet that you can't hear the minor details.
As for recording, you're right. It's best to have the majority of your audio fluttering around -12 and -10 and then peaking at -6.
Hi Dylan, Thank you for this tutorial! How about background noise? Do you have a tutorial for this one? I am using Final Cut Pro as well
You're welcome! Hmm I don't, but if it's echo, then I'd recommend picking up the plug in 'CrumplePop Echo Remover'. If not, you can try using 'noise removal' built into FCP. There's probably a plug in that could help, but unfortunately I don't know of one.
Great video, thank you. I have a problem that I cant get around, when doing a multi cam and adding the effects to each audio track, whenever the camera switches there is a noticeable pop in the audio. No idea why, tried to even reinstall FCPX, nothing. Anyone know a fix for this?
thanks for ur nice video, in My final cut pro dost not show crumplepop, I am using Macbook Pro 14, M1. how could i set it? thanks
That's because it's a paid plugin. I'm not sure who owns it now so I'd just google it. I think it may be Boris FX?
Hey there my friend, really appreciate the help on cleaning up the audio! Quick question, I dont have Crumple Pop in final cut pro, is that something i need to download separately? If so, where do I get it? Thanks my man 🙏🏻💚
You're welcome! CrumplePop Echo Remover is from FX Factory. You'll need to purchase and download it.
Hey! Any tips on the compressor for female voices? Thank you!
Hey! Just follow the same steps as in the video. Male or female voice doesn’t matter with the compressor as it’s just adjusting decibel level.
Can you do tutorial of how to use 32 bit float recording in Final Cut Pro?
Hey man, I know this video is old but it was SUPER helpful! I just had one question. What should I do if after zeroing out my computer and setting the threshold and ratio, the compressor still isn't hitting in that 3-8db range? I find myself having to crank the threshold above 30 to get it there.
Hey man! That is correct. Once you zero it out and you find where it's sitting, bump the threshold till you get it within that range. Usually mine's around that area as well.
@@dylanjohndickerson thanks for confirming, thought maybe I was recording wrong or too quiet. I’ve been doing a podcast for five years and never really understood how to set the compressor up until your video. You really knocked it outta the park with this one man
@@greasesgarage Thanks a ton, brotha! Thanks for saying that 🙏
Hey Dylan, good video. I have a quick question. At timestamp 4:11 where exactly did you get those bullet point graphic/plugin from? Where can I those or the pack from? Thanks.
Hey Jerry, I could be wrong, but I think it's ProList from PXFS
I don't have the crumplepop plugin..where do I get it? I think I need it to some footage ogmf mine shot in an event hall.. thank you
Hey Dylan, I used this approach to create an audio effect and it perfectly worked for a few weeks but as soon as I updated my Final Cut Pro today, it wrecked the entire effect. Did you experience the same problem? What do you recommend to fix it?
Yep yep! I experienced the same issue, Sam. I think it's because they updated some of the interfaces of those effects so they're just not linking. Unfortunately, I'd recommend just making the presets again from scratch. I know that sucks, but that's a better option than waiting for them to release an update to fix this bug.
What does the make up gain do?
