The audio mixer can be used to adjust the volume and pan of a track/clip on the timeline or a clip being played back on the preview window, while the track or clip is being played back. The level meter display can be switched between a peak meter or VU meter.
When the fader is operated with learning, after a point is added to the rubber band the point can be edited.
The [Audio Mixer] dialog box appears. The meter displayed (peak meter or VU meter) is the meter used in the [Audio Mixer] dialog box the last time it was closed.
Click [View] on the menu bar, and click [Audio Mixer].
Display the peak meter to adjust momentary sounds and other sounds difficult for humans to hear, and display the VU meter to adjust sounds as they are heard by humans.
To adjust the volume of an entire track click the master operation setting and click [Master].
To adjust the volume on individual tracks click the operation setting for each track and select what is to be adjusted ([TrackNo] or [Clip]).
To adjust using the learning function, select the learning mode from [Latch], [Touch] and [Write].
When operating in learning mode points are added to the rubber band of a clip. To redo an adjustment, either overwrite in [Write] mode or delete an entire rubber band.
