LESSON 12
Acquiring and Editing Audio
Getting started
Audio typically takes a backseat to video, but it shouldn’t. Clear and well-edited
audio is crucial to your projects. The best images lose their
impact if the accompa-
nying audio is mediocre. Your first goal is to acquire high-quality audio from the
get-go, both in the field and when recording narration.
Adobe Premiere Pro gives video producers and audiophiles all they need to add
top-notch aural quality to their productions. The software has a built-in Audio
Mixer that rivals the hardware found in production studios. The
Audio Mixer lets
you edit in mono, stereo, or 5.1 surround sound; has a built-in instrument and
vocal
recording feature; and offers several ways to mix selected tracks.
You can perform industry-standard edits such as J-cuts and L-cuts on the Timeline,
as well as adjust audio volume levels, keyframes, and interpolation.
In
addition, Adobe Premiere Pro is in compliance with two audio industry
standards—Audio Stream In/Out (ASIO) and Virtual Studio Technology (VST)—
which ensures that it works smoothly with a wide range of audio cards and dozens
of audio effect plug-ins.
