4
Drag Bass to the Ad Cliches clip, open the Effect Controls panel, and then click 
its two disclosure triangles to expand the parameters.
5
Play the clip, and then move the Bass Boost slider left or right. This increases or 
decreases bass.
6
Delete Bass from the Effect Controls panel, and add Delay.
Try its three parameters:
t
Delay
: This refers to the time before the echo plays (zero to two seconds).
t
Feedback
: This is the percentage of echo added back to audio to create 
echoes of echoes.
t
Mix
: This is the relative loudness of echo.
#
 Note:
All mono 
effects have the 
mono single-speaker 
icon (
). If you open 
the Stereo folder, you’ll 
see a double-speaker 
icon (
), and you’ll 
also recognize the 
5.1 icon (
).
#
 Note:
Listing all the 
attributes of all of the 
audio effects is beyond 
the scope of this book. 
To learn more about 
audio effect parameters, 
search Adobe Premiere 
Pro Help.

LESSON 13
Sweetening Your Sound and Mixing Audio
7
Play the clip, and move the sliders to experiment with the effect.
Lower values are more palatable, even with this over-the-top audio clip.
8
Delete Delay, and add PitchShifter to the Effect Controls panel.
This panel includes three nifty items: knobs, presets, and a Reset button. You 
can tell an audio effect has presets by the tiny triangle next to what would 
normally be the Reset button and the addition of a rectangular Reset button 
(as shown here).
