Like audio tracks that contain clips, submixes can be mono, stereo, or 5.1 surround. Submixes appear as fully
functional tracks in both the Audio Mixer and the Timeline panel—you can edit submix track properties just as you
edit a track containing audio clips. However, submixes are different from audio tracks in the following ways:
• Submix tracks can’t contain clips, so you can’t record to them. Therefore, they don’t contain any recording or
device input options or clip editing properties.
• In the Audio Mixer, submixes have a darker background than other tracks.
• In the Timeline panel, submixes don’t have a Toggle Track Output icon or a Display Style icon .
Create a submix in the Timeline panel
1 Choose Sequence > Add Tracks.
2 Specify options in the Audio Submix Tracks section, and then click OK.
Simultaneously create a submix and assign a send
1 If necessary, display the effects/sends panel in the Audio Mixer by clicking the triangle to the left of an
automation option’s pop-up menu.
2 Choose Create Mono Submix, Create Stereo Submix, or Create 5.1 Submix from any of the five sends list pop-up
menus in the Audio Mixer.
Choosing submix type in Audio Mixer
Route a track’s output to a submix
❖ In the Audio Mixer, select the submix name from the track output menu at the bottom of the track.
Route tracks with sends
Each track contains five sends, located in the Effects And Sends panel in the Audio Mixer. Sends are often used to
route a track’s signal to a submix track for effects processing. The submix can return the processed signal to the mix
by routing it to the master track, or it can route the signal to another submix. A send includes a level knob that
controls the ratio of the send track volume to the submix volume. This value is called the wet/dry ratio, with “wet”
referring to the effects-processed submix signal and “dry” referring to the signal from the send track. A wet/dry ratio
of 100% indicates that the wet signal is output at full strength. The submix volume affects the wet signal, and the
send track’s volume affects the dry signal.
