What Audio filter to use

I just transferred some VHS tapes into FCP and what to adjust the audio. Most of the men voices seem to deep/"basey" (can't think of a better word). I guess I'm looking for a audio filter that would adust the base or treble? Thanks for your help. Loran

Hello, thanks for the suggestion. I looked at it and there are at least 25 to 30 sliders. Which ones would you use to make low pitch voices into higher ones.
Thanks

  • What Audio filter???

    I have a sequence in FCP Hd that has a great deal of wind noise on the audio tracks due to bad weather.
    I want to reduce the wind noise but keep the vocals at the same or increased levels.
    Wind speeds were about 60mph.
    Can i do this in FCP or would it be better to sort it out in Soundtrack later on?
    Cheers for any help

    Or.... get in touch someone in the Sound world who does this for a living, I imagine you would you get some very clear answers.
    I'm not sure what type of program you're cutting, but one thing's for sure, audiences are not very forgiving about bad audio.
    If you can't get a hold of anyone with that experience, try to visually see the audio. Just like we use video scopes for clarity to color correct.
    Try to play the audio thru something that can read the frequencies like an EQ and pinpoint where the wind is happening and where the Vocal is happening. If they're the same frequency, that would be bad news because there's no filter called "miracle". What affects one does the other as well.
    If they're not, then try using the graphicEQ in SP2 or PROCESS>REDUCE NOISE.
    Also, Working with a lower volume setting will help when cleaning because it will be easier to raise the levels afterwards without getting HOT audio. The EXPANDER filter might help with that. Best of luck.

  • What audio codec is used for "uncompressed"?

    Also:  Is it LPCM?   Big endian or little endian?

    Your question could use a little more context, not sure what you are asking about.
    On camcorders, IF it offers an option to record the audio portion uncompressed, it may be called "PCM" audio. The equivalent on the PC for editing would be a .wav file.
    I've not seen the "endian" thing in many years, not sure if it has much if any relevance these days. Was just poking around in Adobe audio export options and couldn't find any reference to it.
    Please rephrase the question if you can to include more detail of the context in which it applies.

  • What audio effect is used in this video?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out how to achieve the audio effect used at the 9:00 mark in this video without recording it. I don't debate that I should be figuring this out myself, but I thought someone might be able to save me a bit of time.

    If you think you know how to do it, I would appreciate you letting me know.
    Thanks

    sounds like the same audio effect in most of the video. Try a really meaty analog wave and run it through some grungy effects. They are also applying some kind of wah wah to it....almost.

  • What sound filter to use to make a mans voice sound like he's outside.

    Hello, I have several ADR files of people talking. I need to add a filter to make it sound like they are talking outside. Any specific suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Try something like this, adjust to taste:
    Note that this will drop the volume of the track substantially, you will need to adjust the clip level after you've applied the effects.

  • Which FCE audio filter do i use??????

           I have a recorded voice over a video in FCE. I am trying to make it look like the person is talking to themself (in there head of course). Does any have any suggestions on which audio filter to use, i was thinking maybe a slight echo and a dreamy voice (not afraid to over do it).

    Well, not sure, if this works for you...?  Try Echo and AUPitch...

  • Audio filter(s)/adjustments to deepen voice...?

    What audio filter(s) - and what adjustments- would be recommended to deepen someone's voice? Can't seem to find here or in Soundtrack discussions...
    Thanks!

    Well... microphone technique is the first place to start, but if a person sounds like Shirley Temple, it's pretty hard to get Orson Welles out of it.
    you might try a harmonizer, which drops pitch without changing speed.

  • What kind of audio filter would i use.

    i need an audio filter that will bring out a distant clapping noise thats you cant even hear during playback. i have raised the dB as high as possible. is there a way to get it heard at all?

    Just be aware, that if the audio is very slight and you raise the level .. you will also raise the levels of any surrounding room noise, etc ... so you will get a lot of hiss and maybe even echo. You can also double up the clip to increase the volume but I doubt you would be left with anything useful
    Been there, done that, cursed the cameraman

  • What's the best audio filter and settings to eliminate echo?

    I shot an interview in a hallway. What's the best audio filter and settings to reduce/eliminate echo?

    There isn't one. You will be trying to remove the same frequencies as those you want to keep.
    Reshoot it, strategically position some heavy drapes and use close miking such as a lav and reliable monitoring quality headphones.

  • HT4108 What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4.  Left and right audio works ok

    What is required to use the video composite out on the iPhone 4   The left and right audio works ok

    Please not that the iPhone uses mono channel for internal speakers, the other path that you see is not the speaker per say. It is the phone microphone. Try using headphones, you will hear both channels. If the problem still persists when using headphones, check your sound balancing in the settings. Go to setting-general-accessibility scroll down and check the slide under mono audio. It should be put at the centre for you to hear both channels ON YOUR HEADPHONES

  • What Happened? Imovie used to play .mpg with audio.

    I have a new Imac 27in. The firsst few days after opening it. I hooked up my panasonic video camera, and uploaded and edited several videos, in .mpg. Now i cannot even get Imoive to recognize a .mpg. I can get quicktime to play the video but without audio. Quicktime used to play the audio also. I never changed any settings. I do not know what happened.
    Any way to fix this.

    The Apple cable below is the one I use, but I've also used non-Apple cables with no issues.

  • What audio format does iTunes convert to and use?

    I got an ipod touch 4 a few months back, and it had to convert many of my songs to a different format. I need to put some songs on a rewritable cd/dvd to work in a cd player. I think it is an MP4 format. We tried it on a rewritable DVD-RW and a CD-R. Neither work. We tried on two different cd players. They act as if nothing was there. I need to know if Mp4 format is the problem and if iTunes can convert it to the right format. I can't find what format it converted my other songs to. Thanks for suggestions!

    iTunes does not convert the audio format unless you ask it to, either by ripping from an audio CD or using the conversion process.  (In iTunes for Windows it also does a conversion when a WMA file is added.) Other than that, it leaves files in the audio format they are in.
    When it does convert, it uses the format that you have selected in the "Import Preferences."  That value defaults to AAC, but also allows selection of MP3,  Apple Lossless, WAV, or AIFF.

  • For guitar, vocals, keyboard/drumpad controller, what is the best audio interface to use/record quality sound in Logic, Mainstage, Garageband, etc. (lowbudget)?

    So many to choose from. im really just trying to record clean sounding electric guitar tracks now vocals in the future and keyboard/drumpad controller near future..(irrelevant but thought i should mention im in the market for a keyboard and drumpad controller combo hopefully will be usb or something) but i need a quality audio interface to use with Logic Pro 9 and all the stuff that comes with it (mainstage, etc) and also Garageband. I have heard so many different reviews about this or that but all in all i dont think i can afford an apogee except maybe the apogee One but it at 249 or whatever i feel like i could get alot more bang for my buck. Ive heard alot of good things about m-audio gear but i heard mixed reviews as well. If someone can just tell me what is the best interface in the 100-200$ range for the needs ive listed above...Any responses or advice greatly apprecitated.
    Thanks

    hi mm
    there are so many different sound cards out there these days it seems - ill just say that one that i got alot of use out of was the tascam 122 (http://www.tascam.com/Products/US-122.html)
    it has 2 decent phantom powered XLR inputs, some midi stuff, a place to plug a guitar into and some nice big knobs.
    the next level would be something with more ins (8 or 10) and probably firewire, and also around $400 i think.
    oh, and your computer should be more than sufficient to handle what you want to do.

  • My iphone 5 has bad audio qualities when using the telephone properties: what solution was offered by apple or provider?

    I have a new iphone 5 that has a very bad audio quality when using the basic telephone function. Both wen called or calling the conversation is either of quite poor quality or drops awau alltogether. The latter happens sometimes 5 times on a row during one conversation or better attempt to have one..:)
    Who has similar problems and what has been the solution offered by apple or their provider?

    I have the same issue with the following setup:
    Garmin 2597LMT
    iPhone 5
    Motorola T605 bluetooth hardsfree system
    I ended up disabling the nuvi bluetooth -- I don't subscribe to any smartlink services -- so I'll guess i'll go without Weather on the nuvi for now.
