I find most of your teachings to be sound and they have helped me quite a bit don't get me wrong but in my opinion working with MP3 audio should not be promoted in any way. I guess it's confusing and perhaps just the language barrier as your native tongue is Norwegian not English but it sounds like you say not to use MP3 at the same moment your grabbing and using a MP3 file as an example. That's where the confusion lies I guess. thank you for your efforts and I appreciate your knowledge

@Raevenswood Thank you for that! Im glad to help. Thats way I do this:) I think the problem is that I say in the video that you can convert from mp3 to AIFF and then make the sound quality better. This is not right and that is whay some of you react. What I ment to say is that the quality will NOT be better, but the format will be better to work with in the sequensce and you will have less noice when the sound comes out. Hehe. Have a great day, dude and thanks for being here!

[Raevenswood]

this is a big no no you are teaching. Converting MP3 to AIFF? your taking a volkswagen engine and sticking it in a Ferrari. MP3 is lossy meaning it is compressed with significant frequency loss compared to the original AIFF or WAV file. Those frequencies are permanently lost and all your doing by up converting is filling in the lost data with white noise. there is absolutely no reason to EVER use an MP3 file in editing!!!!! MP3 files are end user format not for use when your creating, NEVER!

@Raevenswood What Im saing is that FINAL CUT better handles AIFF. Often the only file you have is mp3 files. So what Im saing is that if that is what you have then change the settings for the sound to AIFF before importing it in to final cut. You will then see that the sound is better in the sequense. I know better than most what FINAL CUT handles then what I care about sound files in general. What I teach is how to best make final cut work with what you have. You say never Mp3??

@Raevenswood When I work for television I never use mp3 but in the world of the amature that my bee what you have. I think it is great that you make your comments, but you need to relate to Final cut and the real world, not the ideal situations where the sound files comes big and perfect. Everything you say about the filas are right, yes! but relatet to final cut, you are wrong!

[funkymotha1]

Converting MP3 to aif or wav will not improve the quality, when something is converted to mp3 it strips away frequencies from the file, that's how mp3 compresses files, and that's why mp3s sound bad

once those frequencies are stripped they're gone forever, converting the file back to aif or wav WILL NOT IMPROVE ANYTHING

[Impulsivepictures]

@funkymotha1 It will sound better in final cut. It will be better to handle and work with in final cut, but yes you are right, it will not really improve the quality. The information in the mp3 file is gone for ever. thats right and I should have said this. The reality is that AIFF is a better format for final cut, but you cant improve and restore something that is lost. You are right and I will talk more about this in a later film. thangs dude:)

It's so funny because he speaks English so well and his accent isn't thick at all but he still has trouble saying simple things like "the sound will come out evenly from both of your speakers"

Great tutorial! I need to learn Final Cut for a job and your videos are helping me immensely. Thank you!

[fififi29]

[brunohusson]

[TheAlchemist718]

Ummm, excuse me, but "What are you trying to say?" LMAO...I joke. Thanks a lot for your tutorials - they have been a great help.

[rusheena]

Thanks for this; I really have a hard time w/ audio on FCP

[Raevenswood]

for the record I'm not coming from a home user environment I am an engineer at a post production facility so I am coming at this from a Professional perspective. If your editing your family videos at home then I'm sure an MP3 would work fine for that application just not for broadcast quality.
