Audio
Final Cut Pro includes the following new audio features.
Enhanced Integration with Soundtrack Pro
Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro include new integration features, allowing you to do
the following:
 Send single or multiple audio clips from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro, keeping media
files in their native format or converting them to Soundtrack Pro audio file projects.
 Send only the media defined by a clip’s In and Out points instead of the entire
length of a clip’s media file. To limit the media sent to Soundtrack Pro, select the
“Send referenced media only” option in the dialog that appears when sending
clips to Soundtrack Pro.
 Send clips with multichannel audio media files to Soundtrack Pro.
 Apply a Soundtrack Pro script to multiple audio clips in Final Cut Pro, choosing
whether files are processed natively (destructive) or first converted to Soundtrack Pro
audio file projects (nondestructive).
 Create a Soundtrack Pro multitrack project from multiple clips or a sequence
in Final Cut Pro.
 Send a completed multitrack mixdown from Soundtrack Pro to a new sequence
in Final Cut Pro.
 Automatically conform changes made in a Final Cut Pro sequence to a corresponding
Soundtrack Pro multitrack project. This feature streamlines the tedious process of
manually conforming a sound mix when the video changes.
For more information about working with Soundtrack Pro and Final Cut Pro, see the
documentation included with each application.
Audio Normalization and Gain Filter
You can now apply nondestructive audio normalization to your clips by using the
Apply Normalization Gain command. This command analyzes a clip’s media between
In and Out points and then applies a Gain filter so that the highest sample plays at
0 dBFS (or the level you specify).
You can also apply the new Gain filter independently to boost audio signals higher
than the maximum 12 dB gain provided by a clip’s audio level overlay.
OMF Export with Level and Pan Settings
OMF files can now include audio level and pan keyframes.
