Making quick audio adjustments
Although Adobe Premiere Pro includes a full‑featured
audio mixer, there are times when you may not need many of the options.
For example, you might be creating a rough cut from video and audio
captured together from DV footage, output to stereo tracks. In such
a case, follow these guidelines:
Start with the Master meters and volume fader in the
Audio Mixer. If the audio is too far below 0 dB or too high (the
red clipping indicator appears), adjust the level of clips or tracks
as needed.
To temporarily silence a track, use the Mute Track button
in
the Audio Mixer or the Toggle Track Output icon
in
a Timeline panel. To temporarily silence all other tracks, use the
Solo button in the Audio Mixer.
When making audio adjustments of any kind, determine whether
the change should be applied to the entire track or to individual
clips. Audio tracks and clips are edited in different ways.
Use the Show/Hide Tracks command in the Audio Mixer menu
to display only the information you want to see and save screen
space. If you aren’t using effects and sends, you can hide them
by clicking the triangle at the left edge of the Audio Mixer.
