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 🤙🏼
This literally just made me confident enough to start putting out vids. I've hated my voice audio for years but I now have a drag and drop effect that makes every voiceover perfect every time. Love all your vids but this is invaluable! Thank you!
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.
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.
Hell ya brother 🤘🏼 Save them by hitting save effects preset and you should be set. Usually I'll add my custom preset to a new audio clip of mine and then make sure the compressor needle is pumping up about 3 to 5 dB.
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!
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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!
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).
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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 🙏🏻💚
Hey Dylan - I've gotten some great results for my clients now with this video with some fiddling - I tried the trial for crumplepop and it sounds great but their pricing model is kind of insane now - they don't allow individual purchases of plugins anymore. do you have any alternatives since this video?
Hey hey! Interesting...ya I've heard they've parted ways with FX Factory. FX Factory sent me a plugin called, DeRoom I think and that' works very similarly to Crumplepop. Give that a shot.
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?
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.
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!
Thanks so much! Question: If I'm editing a long video and have lots of cuts which result in several individual clips in the storyline, do you suggest combining into a single clip before doing the audio edits you pointed out? Or would it be better to apply all the effects BEFORE cutting into clips and editing the track?
Absolutely do it before cutting the clips. What I do is add everything and then throw the clip or clips into their own compound clip. That way I can enter the compound clip to make any adjustments to the original clip at any point in the edit.
@@ThePianoSenseiWay Because what happens when you cut up that clip a bunch and then realize that you actually need to change an audio setting or video effect? You'd have to change all of those cut clips. Whereas with the compound clip, you can just double click one of the cut clips and see the original clip in there.
@@dylanjohndickerson Wait, so you're saying add the audio effects, then cut into clips, then make a compound clip? If so, what do you mean "click one of the cut clips and see the original clip" if it's just one long compound clip?
@@oliverw.1187 That's a tough one. If you're doing a lot of client work, hands down Artlist. Once you download that song you can use it whenever you'd like and as far as I know, you're free to use it for client work. With MusicBed, you can only use the song when you have a subscription. So if you download a song and months go by after your subscription is done and you try and use it, you'll get a copyright on your video. You can't use MusicBed for client work as well (I think you'd have to pay quite a bit of money to get a subscription to use songs for client work). Both have great music though.
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.
