Set track volume in the Audio Mixer

In the Audio Mixer, adjust the track’s volume setting.

Note: You can use this procedure when automation isn’t applied to a track. If levels vary over time because track
automation keyframes are already applied, you may be able to adjust the track level uniformly by sending it to a
submix and setting the submix level.

Mute a track in the Audio Mixer

Click the track’s Speaker icon in the Audio Mixer.

Note: Muting doesn’t affect pre-fader items such as effects and sends. Also, the state of the Mute Track button is subject
to the automation settings in effect. If you want to silence track output completely, click the track’s Speaker icon in the
Timeline panel.

Mix tracks in the Audio Mixer

You can set volume levels of two or more audio tracks, relative to one another, using the Audio Mixer. For example,
you can raise the volume of a narrator’s voice on one audio track while simultaneously decreasing the volume of the
background music on another track. Also, you can raise or lower the overall volume level of the complete mix, which
contains the audio from all tracks selected. The Audio Mixer lets you make these adjustments in real time while you
listen to playback from desired tracks. By default, the Audio Mixer volume adjustments made for each audio track
are saved in Track Volume keyframes visible on that track in the Timeline panel. Volume adjustments made for the
whole mix are saved in Track Volume keyframes visible in the Master audio track in the Timeline panel.
