Premiere Pro includes VST (Virtual Studio Technology) audio plug-ins designed to alter or enhance the properties of audio clips. Most of these
effects are available for mono, stereo, and 5.1 clips, and can be applied to either clips or tracks, unless specified otherwise. If you have Adobe
Soundbooth installed, Premiere Pro automatically locates, recognizes, and uses the VST effects from that program as well.
Note: Each audio effect includes a bypass option that allows you to turn the effect on or off as specified by the keyframes that you set.
In Premiere Pro CS5.5 and later, audio effects are now combined into a single, unified effect and displayed in a flat list inside the Audio Effects
folder. When you apply an audio effect, Premiere Pro automatically applies the correct effect type (Mono, Stereo, or 5.1) to that clip. For a list and
descriptions of the available audio effects, see Audio effects.

Certain effects have restrictions, and can be used only on certain track types. (For example, the Balance effect can be applied to stereo tracks
only, not mono, or 5.1). The following effects have this restriction:
Balance (Stereo only)
Channel Volume (Stereo and 5.1 only)
Fill Left (Stereo only)
Fill Right (Stereo only)
Swap Channels (Stereo only)
Note: Presets for unified audio effects can be created from single or multiple audio effects.
