Understanding the Audio Mix Tool
The default volume for master clips is set to zero (that is, with no attenuation) when you first capture the media. The pan option in the Audio Settings window determines how the system plays back the default pan. If you set the Default Pan to "Alternating Left - Right," odd tracks are sent to the left channel and even tracks are sent to the right channel. For more information, see Adjusting Pan Defaults.
  For additional information on audio levels for digital cut output, see Preparing for Audio Output.
The Audio Mix tool allows you to:
  Adjust pan and volume for an individual clip, a whole track, several tracks at once, or a whole sequence.
  Adjust the volume, pan, or both for one track at a time.
  Adjust the volume, pan, or both for multiple tracks simultaneously by ganging them together. See Ganging and Adjusting Multiple Tracks.
The system uses these adjustments for all playback, including output to a digital cut.
  The Audio Mix tool adjusts entire clips only. You can use Audio Gain Automation to adjust volume levels within a clip in the Timeline. For more information, see Understanding Audio Gain Automation.
