Mixing audio tracks and clips

Mixing is blending and adjusting the sounds that comprise audio in a sequence. A sequence can contain many audio
clips on one or more audio tracks. Actions you perform when mixing audio can be applied at various levels within a
sequence. For example, you can apply one audio level value to a clip and another value to the track that contains the
clip. In addition, a track that is actually a nested sequence may already contain volume changes and effects applied
to the tracks in the source sequence. Values applied at all of these levels are combined for the final mix.
You can modify an audio clip by applying an effect to the clip or to the track that contains the clip. Consider applying
effects in a planned, systematic way to avoid redundant or conflicting settings on the same clip.

Processing order for audio

As you edit sequences, Adobe Premiere Pro processes audio in the following order, from first to last:
•
Gain adjustments applied to clips by using the Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain command.
•
Effects applied to clips.
•
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: The default signal path can be modified by sends or by changing a track's output setting.

Audio workspace

Adobe Premiere Pro has a preconfigured Audio workspace with the panels arranged for convenience in performing
audio tasks.
To open the workspace, choose Window > Workspace > Audio.
You can modify the panel arrangement further and choose Window > Workspace > Save Workspace to save the
modified configuration as your own audio workspace. Be sure to give your workspace a name in the Save Workspace
dialog box before clicking the Save button.
