What Noise Needs Reducing?
In terms of my narration, you can hear a hum when Angela is narrating, which is quite irritating as you can hear this on the film. So I decided to do some research to see how I can reduce or more importantly remove this hum.
I found on the FCP website a link saying how this can be removed.
As well as this, I looked on YouTube to find a similar video.

After this, I then used FCP's presets to boost the narration and reduce the background noise. This was simply done by using the loudness tool to boost the narration, followed by the background noise removal tool. I had a little play with this and when it's on it gives the narration a tinny sound if the amount is too high, so I only had the amount on a bit.

Finally, I then turned on the hum removal tool and changed it to 60Hz. This removes all frequency audio levels which are 60 and above, helping to get rid of the annoying hiss sound on my narration. This works really well and now you can barely hear the humming sound plus the narration is boosted making it seem more effective and generally just sounding better.
