|
| 2. | |
Click the Timeline Fast menu button, and select Audio Auto Gain.

If there is audio volume data on a clip and Audio Auto Gain is not chosen
from the Timeline Fast menu, the system displays a pink triangle on the clip
to indicate that audio volume data is present but not displayed.
|
| |
You can enable Audio Clip Gain, Audio Auto Gain, and Sample Plot in the
Timeline Fast menu to display audio information superimposed over
waveform plots in the Timeline.

(Option) Expand the audio track by doing one of the following:

|
| |
Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key
(Macintosh) while dragging in the Track Selector panel. When the
pointer changes to a cross, drag the cross to expand or shrink the
track.
|
| 4. | |
Click the Add Keyframe key on the keyboard (N) or the Add Keyframe
button on the Tool palette to add keyframes along the Timeline. The
Avid system adds a keyframe to each enabled track.
|
A straight line appears in the selected audio track. The line shows the
current gain level for that track in the Audio Mix tool.
| |
You adjust gain in the Automation Gain tool by dragging keyframes in the
Timeline or by placing the position indicator on a keyframe and adjusting
the slider.
|
After you add the first keyframe to a segment, you can adjust the gain for the entire clip. When you move the keyframe up or down, the corresponding Volume Level slider in the Automation Gain tool also moves.
