Move the current-time indicator to where you want this narration to begin 
(it’ll cover up any audio on the selected track at that location).
7
Click the Play button in the Audio Mixer, and start your narration.
8
When you finish recording, click the Stop button.
An audio clip appears on the selected audio track and in the Project panel. 
Adobe Premiere Pro automatically names that clip based on the audio track 
number or name and adds that audio file to the project file folder on your 
hard drive.
What about feedback?
If you record audio and you have not taken steps to mute the output, you might 
get feedback—that lovely screeching noise that happens when a microphone 
gets too close to a loudspeaker. You can deal with that in several ways: You can 
click the Mute button for the track, turn down your speakers (use headphones to 
listen to yourself ), or choose Edit > Preferences > Audio (Windows) or Premiere 
Pro > Preferences > Audio (Mac OS) and then select “Mute input during timeline 
recording.”
Creating a 5.1 surround sound mix
Adobe Premiere Pro lets you create a full, digital, 5.1 surround sound mix. You can 
use 5.1 surround sound in two places: audio on a DVD or Blu-ray Disc or an audio 
file for playback on a computer with 5.1 surround sound speakers.
5.1 digital audio has six discrete channels: left front, front center, right front, right 
rear or surround, left rear or surround, and the low-frequency effects (LFE) channel 
designated for a subwoofer.
If you have a 5.1 surround sound setup on your computer, this section will be a lot 
of fun and lead to much experimentation. If you don’t have a six-speaker setup, this 
at least will give you a feel for how to add 5.1 surround to a DVD.
Here are the basic steps to follow:

Open Lesson 13-5.prproj. This project has seven mono tracks and a 5.1 audio 
master track.

 Note:
If you choose 
to locate the current-
time indicator in the 
music, you’ll hear the 
music as you record 
your voice. Being able 
to hear your sequence’s 
audio as you narrate 
can be a big help. 
Laying down video clips 
and then recording a 
narration is a workflow 
some editors follow.
