You can use keyboard shortcuts to change the audio levels of clips in a sequence while
it’s playing. Your changes affect the clip on the lowest-numbered audio track with Auto
Select turned on. The level of the clip at the current playhead position is adjusted. Use
the following shortcuts:
• To raise the level by 1 dB: Press Control–Equal Sign (=).
• To raise the level by 3 dB: Press Control–Right Bracket (]).
• To lower the level by 3 dB: Press Control–Left Bracket ([).
• To lower the level by 1 dB: Press Control–Hyphen (-).
When you use the shortcut, you hear a brief pause, and then playback resumes almost
immediately.
