Michael Wohl, irreverent and entertaining author of the new book: "Advanced Editing with Final Cut Pro X" will show off a variety of cool and useful audio sweetening techniques in Final Cut Pro X, from customizing EQ settings, to taking advantage of powerful Logic effects such as Space Designer, as well as how to isolate dialogue, sound effects, and music for optimal mixing and output. He will also be available to sign his new book at the break.

About Michael Wohl
Michael Wohl is a pioneer of desktop video, and a man of true vision. Indeed, if you want to know the true history of Final Cut Pro, ask Michael Wohl. Michael was one of the original designers of Final Cut Pro, when Macromedia started developing the application in 1995 (long before Apple purchased the program). Instrumental to the development and design of this awesome video editing application, Michael was involved in all aspects of its design until several years after Apple acquired the software, at which point he left to pursue his other passion as a film director. Michael knows Final Cut Pro like few others!
