Something completely different: Recording and mixing the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack

transformers_audio

We had a post on the forum that maybe we were getting a bit too FCPX centric. We agree and hopefully this will be a little break from the stream of Final Cut Pro news from the last fortnight. The Transformers: Dark of the Moon might not be Oscar material but boy do these sound guys have fun!

Exporting audio out of Final Cut Pro X using Automatic Duck's Pro Export

So you just finished your first FCPX job and you need to send the audio off for mixing in a plush suite with all those faders that move up and down when nobody touches them. Automatic Duck have released an update to Pro Export FCP to help you get the files and data out.

Something completely different for Friday - How many radio station jingles can you remember?

jam_jingle

We were after a test username for the website and 'Zorp Furbal' was suggested. Who is Zorp? He appears at the front and back of a very famous promotional song from 1985 for Jam the jingles maker. So for fridays entertainment, we post the song here. How many radio stations from the eighties can you say you listened to?

Fixing video and audio levels to broadcast standards in Final Cut Pro using Digimetrics Eos plugins

digimetris_eos_plugins_fcp

When we first saw the news of the Digimetrics Eos plugin for Final Cut Pro we thought 'nothing new' as it has been done before. Today a video for the Eos audio 'legaliser' was brought to our attention, so we thought we'd take a quick look at both.

We came across this whilst hunting down another Vimeo video and we were hooked. Enjoy the skill and resourcefulness of a Foley Artist. Watching a horse trot past in a film will never be the same again!

Final Cut Pro Audio Filter Guide Part 2

audio_filters

We're deeply indebted to FCP guru Jon Chappell for sitting down and going through the audio filters one by one to see what each one does. The second part of his two part guide after the break.

New tools for audio mixing in Final Cut Pro

AC-7_Core

What started off as a quick link to a blog, ended up with some detective work to find the new range of software control surfaces for FCP.
