Similarities between the audio mixers

The Audio Track Mixer and Audio Clip Mixer have several similarities:

Fader controls to adjust audio level.

Track names displayed below the faders.

Mute and Solo buttons to silence or selectively hear the track.

The option to write keyframes during playback.

Keyframe automation modes

There are five keyframe automation modes in the Audio Track Mixer that will allow you to add keyframes to audio tracks during playback:

Off – The fader ignores existing keyframes or level adjustments.

Read – The fader follows existing keyframes (this is the default setting).

Latch – The fader follows existing keyframes until you make an adjustment. When you do, new keyframes are added. The fade stays on the last setting you chose.

Touch – The fader follows existing keyframes until you make an adjustment. When you do, new keyframes are added. When you release the fader control, the fader returns to following existing keyframes.

Write – The fader ignores existing keyframes, always adding new keyframes during playback.
