Working with submixes
A submix is a track that combines audio signals routed to it from specific audio tracks or track sends in the same
sequence. A submix is an intermediate step between audio tracks and the master track. Submixes are useful when
you want to work with a number of audio tracks in the same way. For example, you can use a submix to apply
identical audio and effect settings to three tracks of a five-track sequence. Submixes can help make the best use of
your computer’s processing power by allowing you to apply one instance of an effect instead of multiple instances.
Like audio tracks that contain clips, submixes can be mono, stereo, or 5.1 surround. Submixes appear as fully
functional tracks in both the Audio Mixer and the Timeline panel—you can edit submix track properties just as you
edit a track containing audio clips. However, submixes are different from audio tracks in the following ways:
• Submix tracks can’t contain clips, so you can’t record to them. Therefore, they don’t contain any recording or
device input options or clip editing properties.
• In the Audio Mixer, submixes have a darker background than other tracks.
• In the Timeline panel, submixes don’t have a Toggle Track Output icon or a Display Style icon .
