Setting Track Levels

Audio balance is the key to the entire sound-mixing process. When you achieve balance
in your mix, you have successfully done your job. In the previous lesson you performed
volume adjustments at the clip level; but to achieve overall balance, you must now adjust
entire tracks relative to one another.

1

In the upper-left corner of the Interface toolbar, click the Effects Library button to close
the Effects Library and open more room for the timeline.

2

Make sure the Mixer is still open, and drag its left edge to view the channel strips.

The Mixer panel includes a channel strip for each timeline track and a master audio
strip. Each channel strip is color coded based on the track color that you assigned.
Unlike the Inspector in which you can adjust the volume of a single clip, mixer fader
changes are applied to entire tracks.
