Match audio in Final Cut Pro for Mac
The Match Audio function uses equalization (EQ) to let you match a selected clip’s sound to that of another clip. This is particularly useful when you have multiple audio clips recorded in different environments but want the clips to sound similar.
Match audio
In the Final Cut Pro timeline, select the clip or clips whose audio you want to match to that of another clip.
Note: For clips with multiple components (such as dual mono clips, compound clips, multicam clips, and synced clips), make this selection at the component level. See Show expanded audio components.
Do one of the following:
Choose Modify > Match Audio (or press Shift-Command-M).
Click the Equalization pop-up menu in the Audio Enhancements section of the Audio inspector and choose Match.
Click the Enhancements pop-up menu below the viewer and choose Match Audio.
Click to select the clip whose sound you want to match.
Click Apply Match.
After you match a clip, you can adjust settings in the Audio Enhancements section of the Audio inspector.
Remove audio matching
In the Audio Enhancements section of the Audio inspector, click the Equalization pop-up menu and choose a different equalization setting.
To remove all equalization, choose the Flat setting.
