Resizing the Audio Mix Tool
You can simplify the Audio Mix Tool display by clicking the Display/
Hide Sliders button to switch between hiding and displaying the vol-
ume sliders.
With the window collapsed, you can continue to adjust levels by
selecting a track and typing values by using the numeric keypad on
the keyboard, or by typing a value into the volume level display.
You can resize the entire Audio Mix tool by dragging the edge or cor-
ner of the tool. You can resize the Audio Mix tool only when the sliders
are displayed.
Adjusting One Audio Track at a Time
To adjust one audio track at a time in the Audio Mix tool:
1. Load a clip or sequence, and activate the appropriate monitor:
• To adjust a track in a source clip, make sure the Source moni-
tor is active.
• To adjust a track in a sequence, make sure the Record monitor
is active.
2. Select the track or portion of a track to be adjusted:
• To adjust the track in a single edited shot in a sequence, place
the position indicator in the shot.
• To adjust an isolated section of audio on a track, mark IN and
OUT points. Adjusting a clip with mark IN and mark OUT
adjusts the entire clip.
• To adjust levels from an IN point through the end of the track,
mark an IN point only. One mark also adjusts the entire track
from the beginning of the clip that includes the mark.
• To adjust levels globally throughout the track, make no marks.
