View audio data
To help you view and edit the audio settings of any clip or track, Adobe Premiere Pro provides multiple views of the
same audio data. You can view and edit volume or effect values for either tracks or clips in the Audio Mixer or in
the Timeline panel. Make sure that the track display is set to Show Track Keyframes or Show Track Volume.
In addition, audio tracks in the Timeline panel contain waveforms, which are visual representations of a clip’s audio
over time. The height of the waveform shows the amplitude (loudness or quietness) of the audio—the larger the
waveform, the louder the audio. Viewing the waveforms in an audio track is helpful for locating specific audio in a clip.
To view a waveform, expand the audio track by clicking the triangle next to the audio track name.
Click triangle to expand audio track and view audio waveform.

View audio clips
You can view an audio clip’s Volume, Mute, or Pan time graphs and its waveform in the Timeline panel. You can
also view an audio clip in the Source Monitor, which is useful for setting precise In and Out points. You can also
view sequence time in audio units instead of frames. This setting is useful for editing audio at smaller increments
than frames.
