About audio

To work with audio, you must first import it into a project or record it directly to a track. You can import audio clips or video clips that contain audio.

After the audio clips are in a project, you can add them to a sequence and edit them just like video clips. You can also view the waveforms of audio clips and trim them in the Source Monitor before adding the audio to a sequence. You can adjust volume and pan/balance settings of audio tracks directly in the Timeline or Effect Controls panels, and you can use the Audio Mixer to make mixing changes in real time. You can also add effects to audio clips in a sequence. If you are preparing a complex mix with many tracks, consider organizing them into submixes and nested sequences.

If you have Adobe Soundbooth, you can use the Edit In Adobe Soundbooth command to send an audio file to Adobe Soundbooth for advanced editing.
