1. Firstly I imported the track into Final cut pro X.
2. Then I cut some of the unnecessary audio at the start of the track- but I kept some otherwise it would go against conventional tracks and sound odd.
3. Then I used the general volume speech bubbles to soften the introduction of the song by graduating the volume.
4. I went on to 'audio enhancements, and added background noise removal at 37%. Any higher and the song sounded distorted and any lower and the quality sounded flat.
5.Then I put hum removal on 50 hz as apposed to 60 hz as I felt it sounded better.
6.Then I increased the over all loudness by 12% (as I was already aware that the song peaked above 0dB -decibels-) a few times and the uniformity by 6% as this made the track sound better.
7. I then went back and altered the peaks as the general rule is that the audio level shouldn’t go over 0 dB ever as the sound resembles crackling. To do this I zoomed into the individual frames of the track and used the “i” and “o” commands to isolate individual peaks in the track. I then used my mouse to drag the volume bar and respective points down as few decimals as I could to reduce the peak.
I will need to more audio changes later to a small section of the track that I feel pauses for too long.
solutions:
- Cutting that section on the track down
- Playing another section of the track over the top
- (Suggested by Pete- the media technician) Introduce a sound effect e.g. rain
