Volume lines
These lines represent the rise and fall of the vol-
ume in a clip. As a balance indicator for a stereo
audio clip, the lines identify the left/right domi-
nance in the signal.
Avid Liquid also has Pan lines (for mono clips)
and Balance lines.
You can adjust the volume for the entire Tr a c k
(activate Output Level/Input Level segments of the
Mixer). You can also set the Pan and Balance for
the entire Tra c k . To set Pan/Balance for a single
clip, activate Classic Routing (see Settings tab).
Virtual mixing console
Each of the audio tracks represented has a fader
and several other buttons.
Rubberbanding
Normally, the clip Vo lu m e Li n e s are immediately
visible as light-blue lines when the Audio Editor is
opened. (If not: Right-click the Audio Playback
column in the Track Header Area to activate the
line).
To edit the line:
Click the line to set an Audio Key Frame.
Drag this Key Frame to the desired posi-
tion.
Note: The Undo Key Frame command is always
applied to the clip currently selected (clicked).
Audio Mixer
When you set Audio Key Frames on the Vo lu m e
Line, the slider in the Fader belonging to the
Tra c k moves.
When you click the slider, an Audio Key Frame is
set at the Playline position and on the audio clip.
Additional functions are described with the
screenshot on the right.
18 Audio Mixer and Volume Lines
As in Studio, Avid Liquid lets you to edit the Volu m e L in es while the Audio Editor is open (F4, )
using the mouse. This is called “rubberbanding”.
