About recording audio

You can record to an audio track in a new sequence or record to a new audio track in an existing sequence. The recording is saved as an audio clip that’s added to your project.

Before recording audio, make sure that your computer has sound inputs. Adobe Premiere Pro supports ASIO (Audio Stream Input Output) devices (Windows) and Core Audio devices (Mac OS). Many devices have connectors for connecting speaker, microphone cables, and breakout boxes.

If your computer has an ASIO or Core Audio device for connecting sound input devices, make sure that the sound device settings and input volume level options are properly set. Refer to your operating system’s Help for details.

In Adobe Premiere Pro, set the default device options in the Audio Hardware Preferences for specifying the input channel used when recording.

Once you connect input devices and make all preliminary settings, you can use the Audio Mixer in Adobe Premiere Pro to record audio. Use controls in the Audio Mixer to adjust the monitoring levels. An audio clip is created from the recording and is added to both the Timeline and Project panels.
