Audio editing tips:
1. Pay attention to your levels! Ensure that your sound levels fall between the -20 to -12 range on the audio meters.
2. If using music, special effects, or ambient sound on top of your interview ensure that the sounds do not drown it out
3. Use music effectively and sparingly. Try to avoid wall to wall music or effects.
4. If working with MP3 sound files (audio interview, music, effects, etc.), convert them to AIFF files. FCP works best with AIFF. MP3 files can cause clicking and popping sounds, will need to be rendered, and may experience drifting synch during playback. You can convert MP3 files in multiple ways, including using:
- MPEG Streamclip
- Final Cut
- Compressor
- iTunes
