Audio Auto-Match question!

Question

With an "auto-matched" audio clip....I noticed that if I cut it with the razor tool, when it splits into two clips it automatically undoes the "auto-matching" and then I have to reapply it to each of the new clips.

Is there a way to lock "auto-match" to an audio clip, so that if I cut the clip, all the pieces stay "auto-matched"?

Thanks

Also, is there a way to create shortcut key to "auto-match" an audio clip? I'm not seeing that option in the Keyboard Shorcuts window.

The Auto-Match button is designed to normalize the audio in your clip to a target level of -23 LUFS (Loudness Units relative to Full Scale). LUFS is a measure of loudness that averages peaks over time, rather than just considering the highest peak. When you split a clip, the peaks and overall loudness profile change, so Premiere Pro needs to recalculate the LUFS for each segment.

However, once you've applied Auto-Match, there’s no need to click it again after splitting the clip unless you notice a significant change in the audio levels. If you do find a noticeable change in audio levels within a clip, splitting it at that point and then applying Auto-Match to both segments can help even out those levels.

As for shortcuts, unfortunately, there isn’t a way to apply Auto-Match via a shortcut since the Essential Sound panel doesn’t have panel-specific shortcuts. However, you can create a preset in the Essential Sound panel that includes the Auto-Match setting. This way, instead of tagging the clip as Dialogue and then clicking Auto-Match, you can apply the preset, which will handle both steps for you.
