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.
