Adjusting Level and Pan in the Audio Mixer Tool
4. Mark an IN and an OUT within a five-second portion of the Tony
interview 1 clip.
5. In the Audio Mixer, click the Play Loop button.
The clip will loop from IN to OUT.
6. Look at the level readings on the Audio tool. Based on the answers to
the following questions (which you may have already answered if you
did the first exercise), begin thinking about how you will tweak the level
and pan values.
 Is the audio peaking properly in the “normal” zone?
 Is the audio level consistent throughout the clip? If not, how much
does it vary?
 How are the left and right audio channels registering? Are the left
and right channel levels responding as two independent audio lev-
els, or do they display as the same level?
Yo ur o bs er v at i ons sh oul d b e r oug hl y a s f ol l ows :
 The audio level is far too low on both channels (but much too low
on the left channel).
 The audio levels are consistently low and uneven.
 The left and right channels are two independent audio levels.
(The right channel was probably captured using a microphone
that was more directly positioned toward the speaker, and the left
channel was probably captured using a microphone that was not
directly pointed at the speaker.)
