7 Using Audio
The following main topics describe how to add audio to the Sequence Timeline and adjust audio
levels to produce your final story:
• The Audio Pane
• Working with Audio Tracks in Basic Sequences
• Working with Audio Tracks in Advanced Sequences
• Setting the Audio Mix
• Setting the Reference Level
• Recording a Voice-Over
• Recording an Audio Clip
The Audio Pane
The Audio pane provides you with controls for monitoring and adjusting audio levels.
The Audio pane is displayed in the Cut, Log, and Story layouts. You can drag the Audio pane to a
different area if you prefer. If the Audio pane is not displayed, select Panes > Audio to open it.
Which controls are available depends on the type of asset and which mode is active in the Media
pane. See the following topics:
• “The Audio Pane for Asset Mode and Basic Sequences” on page 206
• “The Audio Pane for Advanced Sequences” on page 208
The Audio Pane for Asset Mode and Basic Sequences
The Audio pane displays the same controls when you load an asset in Asset mode and when you load
a basic sequence in Output mode. In both cases, the Audio pane shows the audio tracks that are
available for monitoring and lets you select which tracks to monitor. You can monitor the audio level
in the audio meters, and use the audio slider to adjust the level.
The following illustration shows the Audio pane for a clip in Asset mode (left) and a basic sequence
in Output mode (right). The clip includes 14 tracks, with tracks A01 through A08 enabled for
monitoring. The sequence includes two tracks, with both tracks enabled for monitoring.
