Mouse scroll wheel over audio tracks

Explorer ,

Hi,

I'm getting used to PP after many years on Avid.  Quickie, in Avid, when adjusting audio levels, you can place your mouse over the fader and scroll on the mouse wheel for fine adjustments.  Can I do the same in PP?

You can’t adjust audio faders with the mouse scroll wheel in Premiere Pro.

The easiest way to make fine audio adjustments is in the Timeline:

  • Select the clip.
  • Press [ or ] to decrease or increase volume by 1 dB.
  • Hold Shift while pressing [ or ] to adjust by 6 dB.

 

You can change the large adjustment amount by going to Preferences > Audio and modifying the Large Audio Adjustment value.

Thank you.

Next quickie: If I have several different music files on the same audio track, and adjust dB levels to taste on one particular music file, does this instantly adjust all other music files to the same dB level?  In other words, if differing music files require differing dB levels, can I do this within the same audio track, or do I have to place each music file on its own audio track?

Adjusting volume this way affects only the selected clip, not the entire track.

If you select multiple clips, on the same or different tracks, you can adjust all of them at once using the same shortcut.

To adjust the entire track level:

  • Go to Window > Audio Track Mixer.
  • Click the track volume value below the fader to select it.
  • Press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow to adjust by 1 dB.
  • Hold Shift to adjust by 10 dB.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me.  Please note the attached screengrab.

Please note A2.  The playhead is over the firs sequence's music file, the Mixer currently reading -17.5.  If I place the playhead over the following sequence's music file, also placed on A2 and which is a different music file, the Mixer will also read -17.5.  And dB alteration to one is the same dB alteration to the other - but since the two music files have their own, different, innate levels, this results in different volumes.  In short, alterations do not appear to be specific to each music file.

Please advise, DC

You are adjusting levels in the Track Mixer panel, which will affect all clips on the track.

Are you sure you are using Clip Mixer Tab and not Track Mixer tab.

Track mixer will affect all clips.

Select clip tab if you need to adjust for a specific music file.

To adjust an entire track use the Track Tab

See attached screen shot

btw - your uploaded image did not work for some reason

Does this help?
