Controls in the Audio Mixer

The controls in the Audio Mixer are comparable to those of an automated hardware
mixing console. Each audio track in the currently selected sequence (or audio track in
the Viewer) is represented by a track strip, complete with solo and mute buttons, a
stereo panning slider, a level fader, and an audio meter.

The Audio Mixer tab appears in the Tool Bench window and is divided into three areas:

 Track Visibility area
 Track Strips area
 Master area

Additional Audio Mixer controls appear above these three main areas:

 Record Audio Keyframes button
 View buttons
 Source pop-up menu
