Applying audio effects in the Audio Mixer

In the Audio Mixer, track effect options are controlled after an effect is selected in the Effects And Sends panel. If the Effects And Sends panel isn’t visible, display it by clicking the Show/Hide Effects And Sends triangle on the left side of the Audio Mixer. The Effects And Sends panel contains Effect Selection pop‑up menus to apply up to five track effects. Adobe Premiere Pro processes effects in the order they are listed and feeds the result of an effect into the next effect in the list; therefore, changing the order can change the results. The effects list also provides full control over VST plug‑ins you’ve added. Effects applied in the Audio Mixer can also be viewed and edited in a Timeline panel.

An effect can be applied pre‑fader or post‑fader. The difference is whether the effect is applied before or after the application of the track’s fader. Effects are pre‑fader by default.

In the Audio Mixer, effect options that change over time can be recorded using the automation options or specified in a Timeline panel by using keyframes.

B.: Effect bypass
C.: Control knob for selected effect property
D.: Effect properties pop‑up menu

If you plan to use the same effect repeatedly, consider conserving system resources by sharing effects through a submix. Create a submix, apply the effect to the submix, and use sends to route tracks to the submix for effects processing.
