Audio Attributes
The Audio panel lets you alter the channel format and channel assignments for one or more
clips. These settings affect what appears in the audio tracks of the Timeline when you edit a
clip into a program. When you first import clips into the Media Pool, you can use the Audio
Attributes panel to define which embedded audio channels can be exposed as tracks in the
Edit and Fairlight page timelines for editing, and how they will appear.
The Audio panel of the Clip Attributes window
Add Track Controls
A set of controls at the top of the Track/Channel list lets you add additional tracks to a clip.
Adding additional tracks to a clip lets you remap that clip’s available channels to appear in the
Timeline when you edit it.
Format: A drop-down that lets you choose a format for new tracks that you add.
The setting you choose here affects how many channels appear in the Channel
Assignments list below, as well as what kind of Timeline audio track will be required to
expose all channels of that clip. If you choose a Channel Format with fewer channels
than are embedded in a clip, all extraneous channels will be disabled. The available
options are:
Mono: Appropriate for single-channel clips
Stereo: Appropriate for clips with two-channel left/right audio
5.1: Appropriate for 5.1 surround mixes
7.1: Appropriate for 7.1 surround mixes
Adaptive: Appropriate for multiple-mono production audio, such as multi-channel
recordings where a boom microphone, two separate lavaliere microphones, and a
mixdown track are recorded simultaneously.
