Iḿ a dslr filmer, and Iḿ useing a zoom for recording audio. Iḿ new with final cut and my question is: Should I buy Pluraleyes? Or is fcp so good with dslr workflow that I don´t need it?

Or is there other options then Pluraleyes?

FCPX has good audio sync. Just be sure to monitor your audio as it is recored (not the raw mic feed some units give) so you KNOW what is being recorded there in the field. And this goes for both the Zoom AND your camera! Make sure voices are much louder than background noise. Don't skimp on microphones, spend the money for a quality one.

If you're voices are not louder than the background noise, you'll have to invest the money in 1- cleaning up the sound, 2- sync'ing crappy audio to video. So check and double check the sound when your on set to film.

Get that covered, and audio sync in FCPX shouldn't be an issue. In fact, you should do some test shoots and walk through it very soon.
