The Audio Pane for Asset Mode and Basic Sequences
The Audio pane displays the same controls when you load an asset in Asset mode and when you load a basic sequence in Output mode. In both cases, the Audio pane shows the audio tracks that are available for monitoring and lets you select which tracks to monitor. You can monitor the audio level in the audio meters, and use the audio slider to adjust the level.
The following illustration shows the Audio pane for a clip in Asset mode (left) and a basic sequence in Output mode (right). The clip includes 14 tracks, with tracks A01 through A08 enabled for monitoring. The sequence includes two tracks, with both tracks enabled for monitoring.
