make music sound like it is coming out of speaker????

You can do it in FCP, but if one is somewhat apprehensive using audio effects, it may be helpful and is certainly easy to use presets in Sound Track Pro. It's a pretty good visual way to acquire an understanding of EQ while working with it.

If you bring your audio into Sound Track Pro.

Click on the effects tab.
Choose EQ from the category list.
Double click on Channel EQ to open the plug-in.
Click on Show Presets.
Click on the disclosure triangle EQ Tools.

Try the Megaphone EQ and Phone Filter Wide Band presets for example as a start. Feel free to adjust the preset curves and master gain to suit.

If in a room I tend to use Space Designer/Reverb on the track to get a sense of and sell the room ambience also.

Another useful tool IMO and perhaps worth mentioning here:

try adding the High Pass filter and see if that gets you where you're heading ... the High Pass filter will let through all the higher frequencies and reduce the levels of any lower frequencies

audio plays a massive part in your finished video .... folks generally will accept low quality visuals if the audio is good, but will quickly turn off programming with poor audio regardless of the quality of the video

with that in mind, a bit of quality time with a few good basic audio tutorials would reap rich rewards.
here's a nice one for Understanding EQ

All good advice so far.

May I add that if you go down the high pass filter route you should also apply a low pass filter too.

In other words you need a band pass filter!

Take off some of the top frequencies, take off some of the low frequencies and if you want to be clever use some reverb set to a very short reverb time (in tech terms you want more "early reflections" than reverb tail).

You will get better results in Soundtrack and those presets can be a great starting point. This is a good exercise for someone "not very good at using audio filters"!

By the way - I disagree: Foley has to be perfect. Indeed all sound has to be perfect. Most would probably tell me to shut up now.
Good luck 🙂

Thank you, Thomas-- I was waiting to get to the end of the thread so I could say the same exact thing. I'm gonna anyway:

Foley has to be perfect. And technically, adding a practical music track isn't really a Foley effect. A waiter dropping a tray full of dishes is a Foley effect. The footsteps are Foley's. Ditto the sound of the bus person setting a table, the sound of people opening menus. There are some astounding Foley artists out there.

I know I'm stating the obvious, but why not just play the music through a speaker, stick a mic in the room and record that?

why not just play the music through a speaker...

I got the impression shooting is over. The OP is trying to match up the room ambience on a take he already has.

Fix it in post and all that....

Hi Nick,

Even is it's being done in post, pretty much every time I've needed to get music sounding like it was playing in a room, I just setup a stereo system, setup a mic on the other side of the room and record. It's always been the quickest way to recreate the effect, and then can be tweaked with eq etc later.

really? but that's what eq and delay/reverb are for.

yup, sometime low tech is the answer. This is the way I usually do it.
