Processing order for audio

As you edit sequences, Adobe Premiere Pro processes audio in the following order, from first to last:

  • Gain adjustments applied to clips by using the Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain command.

  • Effects applied to clips.

  • Track settings, which are processed in the following order: Pre‑fader effects, pre‑fader sends, mute, fader, meter, post‑fader effects, post‑fader sends, and then pan/balance position.

  • Track output volume from left to right in the Audio Mixer, from audio tracks to submix tracks, ending at the master track.

    Note: The default signal path can be modified by sends or by changing a track’s output setting.
