Audio sounds horrible after import to FCP X.
Audio sounds horrible after import to FCP X, and when exporting. The original audio from 2 cannon camcorders and iPhone 5 are very decent. Why is FCP X making it garbled with static? I'm letting FCP choose the settings based on the clip. I go back and check the original audio and it sounds ten times better than what is in the project.
I am using a 2014 Mac Book Pro with an updated OS (8/14). 16 Gb of RAM (8 x 2) Final Cut was just upgraded too, but it sounded bad before the upgrade. I believe I'm on 10.1.3 now.
All files are stored locally on the MacBook hard drive, not using any external devices. I'm keeping all elements with the library. I've played around with FCP X audio-correction settings but it just makes it worse, pumping up the volume and clipping.
This is not isolated to one project. I've had a similar issue with about a dozen projects.
I'm an expert Avid user, but relatively new to FCP X. I'm not ruling out operator error here. Any suggestions?
