Improve Your Audio in Final Cut Pro: Parametric EQ Explained

Here are the basics of using a Parametric Equalizer to remove and/or adjust specific frequencies in your audio. This means that you can dial in a custom sound no matter what you're using to record. I’m using Final Cut Pro in this example, but the techniques apply to any Parametric Equalizer. You don’t always need to use this technique, but it can definitely be a lifesaver if you find yourself thinking that your audio doesn’t sound quite as good as you want it to. ⏱️Chapter Markers: 0:00 - What is a Parametric Equalizer? 0:51 - Adding a Parametric Equalizer to a Clip 1:08 - High & Low Pass Filters 1:47 - Finding & Adjusting Problem Frequencies 3:52 - Before & After Example ——————————————————————— Affiliate links earn a commission from qualifying purchases which helps support my channel at no additional cost to you. —————————— SUPPORT THE CHANNEL —————————— Become a Channel Member: https://geni.us/joinchannel Donate: https://buymeacoffee.com/tombuck ——————————— CONNECT ——————————— 🎯 Subscribe! http://bit.ly/TEPsub Instagram: @sodarntom Main Site: https://himynameistom.com Podcasts: https://himynameistom.com/podcasts ———————— ROYALTY FREE MUSIC ———————— •Artlist.io (2 Extra Months Free): https://geni.us/ArtlistTom •Epidemic Sound (30 Day Free Trial): http://share.epidemicsound.com/enthus... ——————————— VIDEO GEAR ——————————— •Ecamm Live Streaming Software: https://geni.us/ecammtom •Sony FX3 (Main Camera): https://bhpho.to/3EJuBde (B&H) •Sony a7SIII: https://bhpho.to/3f8mMlS (B&H) •Sony a7IV: https://bhpho.to/33mOGZo (B&H) •Sony 24 1.4 (Main Lens): https://geni.us/sony24 (Amazon) •Sony 50 1.8 Lens: https://geni.us/sonynifty50 •Tamron 20-40 2.8: https://geni.us/Rp3NeMc •Zeiss 85 1.8: https://geni.us/zeissbatis (Amazon) •Sony 70-200: https://bhpho.to/3B4tCr2 (B&H) •YoloBox for Recording & Mobile Streams: https://geni.us/Gh3d1n (Amazon) •Elgato Prompter: https://geni.us/elgatoprompter (Amazon) •Anamorphic Lens: https://bhpho.to/309H0rV (B&H) •YoloCam S3 Webcam: https://geni.us/7Dy2Jaj (Amazon_ •GoPro Hero 13: https://geni.us/gopro13 •OBSBOT Tail 2 PTZ Camera: https://geni.us/UvbR •Rodecaster Video: https://bhpho.to/3Ub88j2 (B&H) •DJI Mini 3 Pro Drone : https://geni.us/I2e0AB (Amazon) •Battery Tri-Charge: https://geni.us/ZYdV3dh •Colorful HDMI Cables: https://geni.us/NeOn (Amazon) •Colorful USB Cables: https://geni.us/rodeusbc (Amazon) ——————————— AUDIO GEAR ——————————— •Rodecaster Pro II: https://bhpho.to/3wCwaqI (B&H) •Sennheiser MKH 50: https://geni.us/mkh50 (Amazon) •Shure SM7B: https://geni.us/tepsm7b (Amazon) •Earthworks Ethos: https://bhpho.to/3CthFs4 (B&H) •Lewitt LCT 240 Pro: https://geni.us/4fww (Amazon) •Sony Video Mic: https://bhpho.to/3ztb6Vb (B&H) •Tall Mic Arm: https://geni.us/A39EvH (Amazon) •Short Mic Arm: https://geni.us/zc7hAbW (Amazon) •Simple 2 Mic Wireless System: https://geni.us/wxwfX (Amazon) •Sennheiser UHF Wireless System: https://bhpho.to/43JgqkL (B&H) •Rode Headphones: https://bhpho.to/3JNacqg (B&H) •Blue XLR Cable: https://geni.us/bluexlr (Amazon) —————————— LIGHTS & SUPPORTS —————————— •Nanlite Forza 200 (Key Light): https://geni.us/9Ofr (Amazon) •V Mount Battery: https://geni.us/OrJDpx1 (Amazon) •Aputure Light Dome Mini: https://bhpho.to/4eMAiJs (B&H) •Small Nanlite RGB Tube Lights: https://geni.us/nanlite (Amazon) •Big Nanlite RGB Tube Lights: https://geni.us/pavotubes (Amazon) •Aputure MC RGB Light: https://geni.us/IuE4 (Amazon) •Rolling Camera Stand: https://bhpho.to/3PbJGg3 (B&H) •Big Tripod: https://bhpho.to/3lRoTyz (B&H) •Small Tripod: https://geni.us/oQOh3Az (Amazon) •Travel Tripod: https://geni.us/nlUBm (Amazon) •Motorized Slider: https://bhpho.to/3ztKMJA (B&H) •Camera Backpack: https://geni.us/aEH2 (Amazon) ——————————————————————— 🎥 Check out my full gear list here:https://himynameistom.com/gear ——————————————————————— – Who Am I? – Hi!
