    Final Cut Pro – Modifying Audio Levels


    Here are two quick ways to modify the audio levels of multiple clips.

    Looking for a way to change the audio levels of more than one clip at once?
    Here are two ways. The first uses a menu:

    • Select the audio clips who’s level you want to adjust.
    • Choose Modify > Level
    • Select Relative if you want to adjust the audio based upon the current audio levels of a clip. (I tend to use the Relative setting.)
    • Select Absolute if you want to set the level of all clips to the same setting, regardless of where the audio is set now.
    • Enter the amount you want to change the audio (negative numbers make sounds quieter, positive numbers make it louder).
    • Press OK.

    Or, using keyboard shortcuts:

    • To raise audio by 1 dB is Control+= (equals).
    • To lower audio by 1 dB is Control+- (minus).
