>The FCP audio filters are, obviously, enormously compicated.
Clunky is the word. You can try using the eq filters, though my word is to leave it for the audio guys later on and just work on the levels in FCP. Otherwise, you can send it to soundtrack pro when you are done with the cut. The plug ins in Soundtrack pro are much more effective, as many of them come from Logic.
