- Volume rubber band and key frames in extended audio track options allows you to adjust volume
- Audio transitions (constant gain vs constant power)
- Right Click > Edit in Audition
- -6db is a good audio level for the human voice
- Use the Fill left or Fill right effect if you only hear the audio in speaker or ear bud
- Review the differences between the audio crossfade transitions below
Audio Crossfade Transitions
Constant Gain transition
The Constant Gain crossfade changes audio at a constant rate in and out as it transitions between clips. This crossfade can sometimes sound abrupt.
Constant Power transition
The Constant Power crossfade creates a smooth, gradual transition, analogous to the dissolve transition between video clips. This crossfade decreases audio for the first clip slowly at first and then quickly toward the end of the transition. For the second clip, this crossfade increases audio quickly at first and then more slowly toward the end of the transition.
