Final Cut Pro X comes bundled with an extensive range of Logic Effects, digital signal
processing (DSP) effects and processors that are used to color or tonally shape existing
audio recordings and audio sources—in real time. These will cover almost every audio
processing and manipulation need you will encounter in your day-to-day work.
The most common processing options include EQs, levels (dynamic processors),
modulations, distortions, spaces (reverbs), and echo (delays).
Further advanced features include precise signal meters and analyzers, noise reduction,
bass enhancement, and vocal effects.
As you can see, many of the included processors and utilities don’t really fall into the
“effects” category, but they may prove to be invaluable to your audio production needs.
All effects, processors, and utilities provide an intuitive interface that simplifies operation,
enabling you to work quickly. Outstanding audio quality is assured when needed, or—at
the other end of the spectrum—extreme processing is possible when you need to radically
alter your audio. All effects and processors are highly optimized for efficient CPU usage.
