Chapter 9 Addandadjustaudio 207
To avoid having clip volume exceed peak levels, adjust the volume. Although the
proper level for a clip depends upon the overall mix you want, it’s important to make
sure that the combined level for all concurrent clips does not exceed 0 dB during the
loudest sections.
Final Cut Pro includes two meters, a small Audio Meter icon in the Dashboard in the
toolbar and a larger Audio Meters pane.
Show or hide the Audio meters
To show the Audio meters, do one of the following:
Choose Window > Show Audio Meters. m
Click the Audio Meter icon in the Dashboard in the toolbar. m
You can drag the edges of the meters to see an expanded view with
additional information.
Level
Surround channels
Peak indicators
To hide the Audio meters, choose Window > Hide Audio Meters, or click the Audio
Meter icon in the Dashboard in the toolbar.
Reset and correct peak levels
Select the clip in the Timeline, readjust the level, and play back the clip again to test m
for peaks.
In the Timeline and Event Browser, the waveform section or sections of a clip turn
yellow when a level is approaching peak levels or red when a level exceeds 0 dB.
