If your music edits sound off but you can't figure out why, this will fix it. In this Final Cut Pro tutorial I'm covering the audio tricks that make music feel intentional instead of just dropped in, including faking an echo with Cathedral 2 and keyframes, a low pass filter trick for smoother music transitions, ducking music under dialogue quickly using the range tool and keyframes, volume shortcuts that save real time, using music stems with multicam so your dialogue stays clean, when to cut to the beat and when not to, splicing different sections of a song together without it sounding chopped, and ending a track properly instead of a lazy fade out.
