Pro plays back the track with the adjustments you made. As you make adjustments in channels of the Audio Mixer,
Premiere Pro applies the changes to their respective tracks by creating track keyframes in a Timeline panel. Conversely,
audio track keyframes you add or edit in a Timeline panel set values (such as fader positions) in the Audio Mixer.
