In addition to <strong>adding effects to audio clips<\/strong>, you can also make adjustments on the <strong>track<\/strong> <strong>level<\/strong>. Track-level adjustments are handy\u00a0when you want to apply an effect to multiple <strong>audio<\/strong> <strong>clips<\/strong> at the same time. Simply apply an <strong>audio<\/strong> <strong>track effect<\/strong>, and it will affect\u00a0all of the clips on that track. Or use track effects on a submix to apply your effect to multiple tracks at the same time. Let\u2019s take a look at a <strong>step-by-step<\/strong> <strong>method<\/strong> to add track effects in <strong>Premiere Pro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EPMe2J93-IU?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>The Project<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Documentary\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/1cfd2eb340efb0e5bd696516afa7b907.png\" alt=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Documentary\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say I\u2019m working on a <strong>documentary<\/strong> about organized crime, and I have an interview subject who\u00a0needs to stay incognito. I already have his face mosaiced out, and now I want to <strong>lower the tone of his voice<\/strong> so that he is unrecognizable. To do this, I\u2019ll need to add a <strong>track effect<\/strong> to the <strong>audio<\/strong> <strong>track<\/strong> containing his sound bytes. Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Open the Audio Track Mixer Panel<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Audio Track Mixer\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/678796352c41a9e349c0418a4f963fe2.png\" alt=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Audio Track Mixer\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To add <strong>track effects,<\/strong> I need to open up the <strong>track mixer panel<\/strong>. To do this, I\u2019ll go to <strong>Window &gt; Audio Track Mixer.<\/strong> First, I want to organize my project, so I\u2019m going to <strong>rename<\/strong> <strong>each track<\/strong>. This sequence consists of an interview sound byte, a music clip, and a sound effect. Each audio asset resides on its own track, so I\u2019ll <strong>rename<\/strong> <strong>the tracks accordingly<\/strong>. Once I rename the track in the mixer panel, I\u2019ll be able to see the track names in the timeline panel as well.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Show Effects and Sends<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Effects and Sends\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/b488d0b10078aaa103b96f89c0bc4092.png\" alt=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Effects and Sends\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that I have my tracks renamed, I want to <strong>add my effects<\/strong>. To access track effects, I\u2019ll click on the <strong>Show\/Hide Effects and Sends<\/strong> triangle at the top left-hand corner of the track mixer panel. Once this is open, I can see that each track has five FX slots where I can add effects via a drop-down menu. When I select and apply an effect, I can quickly <strong>activate or deactivate that effect<\/strong> by clicking the FX button next to the effect controls.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add Effects to Track<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Add Effects\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/8e433e46fcfb4583583c44954b18c851.png\" alt=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Add Effects\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I want to add two <strong>track effects<\/strong> to this particular project: one for my <strong>interview<\/strong> <strong>subject<\/strong> and one for my <strong>music.<\/strong> For the first track, I want to <strong>change the pitch<\/strong> of my interview subject\u2019s voice, making him unrecognizable to viewers to safeguard his identity. So for track one, I\u2019ll add a <strong>Pitch Shifter<\/strong> <strong>effect<\/strong> and lower the pitch until I\u2019m happy. For the music, I want to make a small and subtle change, so I\u2019ve added a <strong>Stereo Expander<\/strong> to the track.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Keyframe<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Keyframe\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/replace\/1ea63eb839e10e9325220d4a86def8a1.png\" alt=\"Improve Your Edits with Better Audio in Premiere Pro \u2014 Keyframe\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every videographer will need to work with track effects at some point.
