Change the audio effect order
You can apply multiple audio effects to a timeline clip.
The order in which you apply them affects the final output. For example, if you apply a reverb effect followed by the Noise Gate effect, the Noise Gate effect will interpret some of the reverb as noise and attempt to remove it.
In the Audio tab of the inspector, audio effects are listed in the order they were applied to the timeline clip. Effects lower in the list modify effects above them in the list. You can easily change the order of these effects to get the sound you want.
