post-production. For more information, see

source files, the channels are exported in the following ways:
•
Stereo source exported as surround: The left and right channels are exported to the left and
right channels of the surround file.
•
Surround source exported as stereo: The surround source is exported as a stereo (left and right
channel) mix.
•
Stereo or surround source exported as mono: The stereo or surround source is exported as a
mono (one channel) mix.
Adjust volume
You can adjust the volume levels of audio clips from the Browser, the Timeline, the Audio
inspector, or the Modify menu. Volume adjustments you make in the Audio inspector or from
the Modify menu are applied to the entire selection. To make more precise adjustments, you
can create keyframes in the clip, and then make adjustments to points between keyframes. See
Adjust audio effects using keyframes on page 195.
You can make sure the volume doesn’t exceed peak levels, which may result in audible distortion,
by using the Audio meters.
Adjust volume in the Timeline
m Drag the volume control (the horizontal line across the audio waveform) up or down.

your adjustments.
Volume control

volume between the keyframes.
