want to set a keyframe.

 Click the appropriate keyframe button to add a keyframe to the keyframe graph line
of that parameter at the keyframe graph line’s current value.

want to record keyframes.

give yourself time to get ready.
Note: You can only record keyframes in an audio filter parameter during playback if the
Record Audio Keyframes button is selected in the Audio Mixer.
2 Begin playback of your sequence.
3 As your sequence plays, position the pointer over the relevant audio filter control in the
Filters tab of the Viewer, and press the mouse button to begin adjusting that parameter.
The Pen tool lets you
add a keyframe.
