It's time to start learning a little more in depth about the different tools premiere has for audio. And very early on in this course, we've learned to use the audio track mixer. Now I want to take you guys deeper into the audio track mixer and see how powerful it really is. So go up to window, audio track mixer, and it looks like we need a sequence. Okay, so here's our audio track mixer. And we've been over the names of the different tracks and how they correspond here.

How we can change volume very quickly. If you ever wanted to pan which you don't do too often. You can do that up here. You can solo and mute You can even record. If you have a mic plugged in and you need to record a voiceover, you can do that right in Premiere. In fact, if you are going to do that, go to preferences, audio hardware and choose an input for your microphone.

Now, where the audio track mixer gets really powerful, is the effects rack, and you access that by this little arrow right here. And it says show hide effects and sentence. So if you click this and twirl it down, you're greeted with a whole new menu of things that was previously hidden. And I'm going to full screen the audio track mixer for us. Now this does look complicated. It looks similar to Pro Tools or logic on the big mixing boards.

So up here if you hover on these slots, you can click this arrow In you have a menu of effects down here below this line is send for now, let's not worry about anything below this line. Let's just concern ourselves with effects. So again, everything works vertically. This is all on a one. So anything I put here is going to affect everything on this a one track. So if you click this arrow down, you have a bunch of different effects in Premiere that you can use from amplitude and compression, or a lot of good ones in here.

This is my favorite and we'll, I'm gonna do a whole lecture on this. But some really good things EQ, noise reduction, reverb. This is great if you have a microphone that was if you have a dialogue piece or something that was recorded in stereo Yo, and it should be mono, you can fill the whole entire track with either the right channel or the left channel. pitch shifter. And then here, if you're on a Mac, these are called audio units. And these come with the Mac, they come built in to GarageBand.

And they will show up here. This is also where if you have any third party tools like noise reduction plugins or anything like that, that's where they'll show up. It'll either say VST or au. And you can apply them here. So just this effects thing that was previously hidden, is amazingly powerful, and will help a lot and mixing. For example, if we had a dialogue track, and let's say we wanted to EQ the entire dialogue track.

We go in here, pick out an EQ and then start to edit it and we'll get into EQ in a bit. Additionally, we have our master track over here. And the master track is a bit different because every one of our other audio tracks feeds into the master track. So whatever effects we put on the master track will affect everything. So if you wanted to maybe put an EQ over the entire thing, we would do that on the master track. And that's a way of affecting all the audio at once, and it'll be on your final output.

If the entire output needs to be louder. You can put an amplifier on and boost up the game. So knowing that this exists, and knowing how to use it is extremely useful and powerful for mixing within premiere. First you tell you that they love you. They ask I'm the only one
