About Mono and Stereo Clip Items

Clip items may be linked in the following ways:

 Mono clip item: A mono clip item is a single audio clip item that contains one audio

channel and is not linked to any other clip items.

 Stereo pair clip items: Two clip items can be specially grouped together as a stereo

pair. Creating a stereo pair allows you to adjust the levels and pan controls of both
clip items simultaneously. Clips captured as stereo are automatically added to the
Timeline as a stereo pair. For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 17, “Audio
Editing Basics.”

 Linked clip items: To keep items in sync while you edit, you can link up to 24 audio

clip items (mono or stereo pair) together. Linking audio items does not change their
mono or stereo pair characteristics. Dual mono clip items are a typical output group
in which two mono clip items are linked together. For more information, see
Volume II, Chapter 14, “Linking and Editing Video and Audio in Sync.”
