Basic Audio Editing
Adjusting Level and Pan in
the Audio Mixer Tool
Within Clip mode of the Audio Mixer tool, you set the levels and pans for a
clip, sequence, or multiple clips within a sequence. Changes made in the
Audio Mixer affect the entire clip in the Source monitor or the entire seg-
ment in which your position indicator is located in the sequence.
Because audio adjustments follow the clip through the duration of its life in
the project, the recommended workflow is to first set the necessary level
and pan adjustments on source clips so that those changes are reflected
whenever you edit using those clips.
To prepare to adjust audio level and pan:
1. Open a source clip into the Source monitor; or, to set pan or level for a
segment in a sequence, open the sequence into the Timeline window,
and place the position indicator in the segment you want to adjust.
2. In the Timeline, display the source or sequence, expand the audio
track, and then from the Timeline Fast menu, select Audio Data >
Clip Gain.
A straight line appears in the selected audio track, showing the current
volume level for that track. When you make your first adjustment in the
Audio Mixer tool, the light gray line turns black, and your clip adjust-
ment is displayed within the track.
NOTE The Audio Mixer
tool also contains Auto
and Live modes. You will
look at the auto function
later in this chapter.
