Clip gain values are the values for the entire segment; for example, you cannot
set gain for a portion of a segment without affecting the entire segment. To set
gain for a portion of a segment, use Automation Gain and Pan mode. For more
information, see “Understanding Automation Gain and Pan” on page 389.
Ganging and Adjusting Multiple Tracks
You can gang multiple tracks in the Audio Mixer tool to maintain the same
relative settings between tracks when you make adjustments. This is useful in
a variety of circumstances. For example, you can gang tracks to raise the
overall volume of a portion of a sequence while maintaining variations in level
adjustment among tracks.
To gang and adjust multiple tracks:
1. Click the Gang buttons of the tracks you want to group. To deselect a
Gang button, click it a second time.
2. Adjust either volume or pan for one of the tracks using any of the
techniques described in “Adjusting One Audio Track at a Time” on
page 381, and the other tracks maintain the same relative levels.
When you gang two or more tracks, you gang both the Level and Pan sliders.
To set all ganged sliders to the same value for volume:
t Click the number along the vertical edge of the Volume Level slider or
type a value in one of the Volume Level displays and then press Enter.
To set all ganged sliders to the same value for pan:
t Click the Pan Value display and type a value.
Rendering an Audio Effect
The Render Effect button allows you to render an audio effect without closing
the Audio Mixer tool. For example, if you change the level of a clip that
contains a rendered audio dissolve, the effect becomes unrendered. You can
use the Render Effect button to rerender the audio dissolves directly from the
Audio Mixer tool. Then, you can play the clip back immediately to hear the
effect of the level change with the dissolve in place. For more information
about rendering, see “Rendering Effects” in the Help.
