In addition to the built-in audio enhancement features of Final Cut Pro, you can take
advantage of 64-bit Mac 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.
