Using the Audio Mixer Tool
Aurora Edit LD allows you to adjust many aspects of the audio tracks in your
sequence. The Audio Mixer Tool adjusts levels and pan for individual edits in a
sequence, for entire clips, or for entire audio tracks.
To select the Audio Mixer Tool, press 6 on your keyboard or click the Audio Mixer
button in the Timeline Toolbar.
Adjusting Audio Levels on the Timeline
You can adjust the audio levels within a clip by adding and manipulating fade control
points in the Timeline, which is known as rubber banding. You can also view the
audio waveform for a sequence, providing a visual indication of audio levels.
Viewing Audio Levels on the Timeline
You can view audio levels in Aurora Edit LD in different ways:
• In the Audio Mixer Tool, the fade control line is always visible, whether the audio
track is expanded or not.

• You can view audio levels at any time by clicking the Expand Track button
next to the audio track you want to view.
• Click Show Audio Fade Control Points to show the points anytime the audio
track is expanded.

expanded track.
• Click the up arrow on the Change Track Height button to shrink the track
height or click the down arrow to expand the height of the track.

amplitude as shown on the audio track or click the Zoom Out Waveform
