To display the effects and sends lists, click the triangle to the left of the automation
options pop-up menus. To add an effect or send, click any of the triangles on the right
side of the effects and sends lists.
Note: If you can’t see all of the tracks you have set to display, they may be displayed
beyond the edges of the Audio Mixer window. Resize the window or scroll horizontally.
To control which tracks are monitored during playback:
Click the Solo button for the corresponding tracks.
Note: You can also silence a track using the Mute button. However, use the Timeline
Speaker icon for controlling which tracks to hear during editing, and reserve the Mute
button for automated control.
Adjusting gain or volume levels
You can set gain or volume levels to make levels more consistent among tracks or clips, or
to adjust a track’s or clip’s audio signal when it is too high or too low. Gain generally refers
to the input level, and volume generally refers to the output level. Keep in mind, however,
that if the level of an audio clip was set too low when it was digitized, increasing the gain
or volume might simply amplify noise. For best results, follow the standard practice of
recording or digitizing source audio at the optimum level; this allows you to concentrate
on adjusting track levels.
You control track levels in the Audio Mixer window or Timeline window. The gain level for
a selected clip is available using the Clip > Audio Options > Audio Gain command. The
output level of a selected clip can be controlled in the Timeline window or in the Effect
Controls window. The Gain command is independent of the level setting in the Audio
Mixer window and Timeline window, but its value is combined with the track level for the
final mix.
While the Audio Mixer window is the primary window for controlling track levels, you can
also do so using audio track keyframes in the Timeline. Because track keyframes
represent
mixer automation settings, they affect output only when automation is set to Read, Touch,
or Latch. See “Automating audio changes in the Audio Mixer window” on page 190 and
“Activating keyframes” on page 246.
For more control over levels, use the Dynamics effect. See “Dynamics” on page 282.
To specify a uniform track output level:
In the Audio Mixer window, adjust the track’s volume setting.
Note: You can use this procedure when automation isn’t applied to a track. If levels vary
over time because track automation keyframes are already applied, you may be able to
adjust the track level uniformly by sending it to a submix and setting the submix level.

To mute a track:
Click the track’s Speaker icon in the Audio Mixer window.
Note: Muting doesn’t affect pre-fader items such as effects and sends. Also, the state of
the
Mute button is subject to the automation settings in effect (see “Automating audio
changes in the Audio Mixer window” on page 190). If you want to completely silence track
output, click the track’s Speaker icon in the Timeline window.
To edit a clip or track’s audio levels in the Timeline window:
1
In the Timeline window, expand a track’s view, if necessary, by clicking the expansion
triangle next to the track name.
