Stage 4: Sending the Final Mixdown to Final Cut Pro

When you finish with the final mix, there are two ways you can send the mixdown back

to Final Cut Pro for use in your sequence.

• Export audio media: You can export one or more AIFF or WAVE files of the master mix

(or any combination of individual submixes) using the Export command in

Soundtrack Pro. After the export process is finished, you can open your original

Final Cut Pro project, import the audio mix file or files, and edit the files into your original

sequence to synchronize with your video.

• Automatically send your mixdown to a new Final Cut Pro sequence: You can also use the

Export command in Soundtrack Pro to send your mixdown tracks straight to

Final Cut Pro. When the Export dialog appears, specify your settings, then choose “Send

files to Final Cut Pro sequence” from the After Export pop-up menu. Final Cut Pro opens,

and the Import XML dialog appears. Specify the appropriate settings for your program

and click OK. A copy of your original sequence is created in the Browser, with the

mixdown audio correctly synchronized to your clips in the Timeline and the original

audio tracks muted.

Audio Finishing Using Third-Party DAW Solutions

Although Final Cut Pro and Soundtrack Pro are both suitable environments for creating

high-quality mixes, if you’re not comfortable doing your own audio work, consider sending

your audio to a specialized post-production facility that uses other digital audio workstation

(DAW) hardware and software combinations. Working with a specialized facility also gives

you the opportunity of having your audio worked on in a dedicated room with specifically

designed acoustics for mixing, as well as high-quality monitoring speakers and support

equipment.

It’s always important to edit the audio clips you want for continuity and to catch any

obvious editorial fixes, such as mispronounced words. However, if you decide to use an

outside facility for the final sound design and mix, it’s best to leave the audio in your

edited sequence otherwise untouched. Don’t add audio filters and don’t overedit your

audio (that will be the dialogue editor’s job). When working with a facility, export your

edited audio tracks in an organized state so that the audio specialists can import the

audio into their system and quickly get to work. All filtering, mixing, and fine editing will

be done there.

Note: It’s typical for the sound mix and color correction of a program to be done at the

same time. As with color correction, it’s most efficient to lock the edit prior to delivering

the materials necessary for a facility to start working on your soundtrack. Reconforming

a sound edit that’s in progress to match changes made to the video is a common

occurrence, but it can be labor-intensive and costly.
