Audio Mixing

To add keyframes whenever you move an audio fader or panning slider, do one of
the following:

m

Select the Record Audio Keyframes button in the button bar at the top of the Audio
Mixer (in the Tool Bench window).

m

Select the Record Audio Keyframes checkbox in the Editing tab of the User
Preferences window.

m

Press Command-Shift-K.

The Record Audio Keyframes button and the checkbox in User Preferences are the
same control; they are just located in two different places for convenience.

Important:

If the Record Audio Keyframes button is missing from the Audio Mixer button

bar, you can drag it to the button bar from the Button List. For more information about
using the Button List, see Volume I, Chapter 10, “Customizing the Interface.”

Source Pop-Up Menu

You use this pop-up menu to choose whether Canvas or Viewer audio levels are
controlled by the Audio Mixer. If you want the Audio Mixer to automatically switch
between the Canvas and Viewer depending on which window is active, choose Auto.

Using Audio Mixer Views

When you work on sequences with many audio tracks, some of the track strips in the
Audio Mixer may appear offscreen. To avoid having to constantly scroll back and forth,
you can hide the track strips of tracks you don’t immediately need to work with.

You can also create different views to organize groups of tracks in your sequence
according to their content. Using the Audio Mixer View buttons, you can save four
different sets of track configurations for each sequence in your project.
