I've just edited a piece with pretty varied audio levels between shots and I want to apply a Maximiser to the audio tracks to match levels between those shots and then a Master Compressor-Limiter to perform a final normalisation of the finished audio before printing to file for upload to the client.
I have figured out how to split the audio and video from a track and then split track 1&2 into 2 separate, (centred) mono tracks as I typically record at different levels on 1 & 2 for safety, or Boom on channel one and Radio on channel2.
I can apply VST filters to each shot on the time-line of course, but how do I simply add one to the whole track, and then apply a final leveller and compression to the master output on the mixer to guarantee "legal" and consistent levels for each files output - for example each is part of a series, or tracks on a DVD that require matched levels?
I don't see anywhere on the mixer to apply filters, it seems to be mainly for setting overall track levels or riding the faders unless I'm really missing something.
I should add, I'm transitioning from Liquid - I've cut a few things in Edius before, and have most things sorted, trimming, FX and so on. The stuff I did previous was mainly with V.O. and music tracks or had reasonably consistent levels so this hadn't cropped up.
