USING ADOBE PREMIERE PRO 218 Editing Audio • 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: You can modify the default signal path with sends or by changing a track's output setting. More Help topics "Route tracks with sends" on page 246 Making quick audio adjustments Although 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.

You can view and edit volume or effect values for either tracks or clips in the Audio Mixer or in a Timeline panel. Make sure that the track display is set to Show Track Keyframes or Show Track Volume. In addition, audio tracks in a Timeline panel contain waveforms, which are visual representations of a clip's audio over time. The height of the waveform shows the amplitude (loudness or quietness) of the audio-the larger the waveform, the louder the audio. Viewing the waveforms in an audio track is helpful for locating specific audio in a clip. To view a waveform, expand the audio track by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name. Click triangle to expand audio track to view audio waveform, track name, and rubberband. More Help topics "Audio Mixer overview" on page 219 "Timeline panels" on page 136 Last updated 1/16/2012
