to avoid setting the
volume too high (the
VU meter line will turn
red). That leads to
distortion.

250 LESSON 13
Sweetening Your Sound and Mixing Audio
This opens a set of empty panels where you can add effects to entire tracks and
assign tracks to submixes.
10 Click the Effect Selection button for the Left track (the little drop-down list to
the right of the panel), and choose Reverb from the pop-up menu.
11 Isolate that track by clicking its Solo button (that mutes the rest of the
channels).
You can click Solo buttons on more than one track to listen to a group of tracks.
You can also click the Mute button to switch off audio playback for one or more
tracks. You’ll use the Enable track for recording button in the next lesson.
12 Click the Reverb effect pop-up menu at the bottom of the panel, and make
changes as desired.
Play the clip to listen to your changes as you make them.
13 Undo your settings by removing the Reverb effect. To do that, click the Effect
Selection button and select None.
Keep tabs on Mute and Solo settings After working in the Audio Mixer for a while and then returning to the Timeline,
you might not hear anything. Audio Mixer Mute and Solo settings do not show up
in the Timeline but are still in effect when you play a clip in the Timeline, even if the
Audio Mixer is closed. So, check those Mute and Solo settings before shutting down
the Audio Mixer.

Note: It’s easier to
apply effect parameters
in the Effect Controls
panel, but you can edit
only clips there—not
audio or video tracks.
In this case, you could
apply this effect to
the clip instead of the
track because there is
only one clip on the
track, but it’s good to
see how track-based
effects work.
