You can specify the channel in a target hardware audio device for each channel in a sequence Master track. You map channels in the Audio
Output Mapping pane of the Preferences dialog box. Premiere Pro plays each sequence channel through the hardware channel you specify. For
example, your project could have a 5.1-channel sequence, but your system hardware might support only two channels. You could specify which of
the two hardware channels carries each of the six sequence channels.
16-channel sequences, however, remain mapped to 16 output channels if the selected hardware device has fewer than 16 channels. For example,
the selected device could have only two channels. You could then map only the first two channels of a 16-channel sequence to the two hardware
channels.
In the Audio Output Mapping pane, you can map sequence channels to any supported hardware device installed in your computer, not only
the device currently activated. However, you see and hear the channel mapping you specify for a device only when the device is activated.
Mapping sequence audio channels to the device does not activate the device. To activate an audio hardware device, select it in Audio Hardware
preferences. For more information, see
Specify ASIO device settings (Windows only) .
To map sequence channels for a hardware device, you first select the device in the Map Output For menu. The list below the Map Output For
menu shows the hardware channels supported by the device chosen. You then map sequence channels to each hardware channel using channel
tiles.
For example, if you choose a third-party 16-channel audio device, the list shows 16 hardware channels. If you choose a stereo device, the list
shows only two hardware channels. Tiles to the right of each channel name in the list represent the three types of sequence channels you can
map to that hardware channel: stereo, 5.1, and 16-channel.
By default, Premiere Pro selects Premiere Pro WDM Sound (Windows), or Built-In (Mac OS) as the device. However, if your computer has a
supported third-party audio device installed, it appears in the Map Output For menu. Select the third-party device to make its supported channels
appear in the list.
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Output Mapping (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Audio Output Mapping (Mac OS).
2. In the Preferences dialog box, from the Map Output For menu, choose the driver for the device desired. By default, Premiere Pro selects
Premiere Pro WDM Sound (Windows) or Built-In (Mac OS).
3. Drag the desired sequence channel tile into line with the desired hardware channel in the list.
4. Click OK.

Extract audio from clips
You can extract audio from clips and generate new audio master clips in a project. The original master clips are preserved. Any source channel
mappings, gain, speed, duration, and interpret footage adjustments in the original master clips are applied to the new, extracted audio clips.
