You can:
• Use
dedicated
audio input sources, such as audio cassette players, compact disc
players, and even live microphones. (See “Using a Microphone with MXPro” on
page 30 for installation instructions.)
• Use the audio signal coming from
combined
input sources, such as the audio
track contained on a video tape.
• Separate the audio signal to record only the audio track from a video tape, laser
disk player, and so forth.

RANSITIONS
You control audio transitions somewhat the same as video transitions. However,
MXPro gives you the ability to control audio and video separately. The two compo-
nents for managing audio transitions are the
VIDEO/AUDIO
selector (on the key-
board) and the top of the Preview screen.
VIDEO/AUDIO Selector
Small lights appear above and below the
VIDEO/AUDIO
selector labeled
VIDEO
and
AUDIO
. The lights tell you whether the next transition will affect the video, the audio,
or both. By pressing the
VIDEO/AUDIO
selector you can choose between the following
states:
• To have the next transition affect both the video and audio, press
VIDEO/
AUDIO
until both lights are on.
• To have the next transition affect only the audio (leaving the video unaffected),
press
VIDEO/AUDIO
until only the
AUDIO
light is on.
• To have the next transition affect only the video (leaving the audio unaffected),
press
VIDEO/AUDIO
until only the
VIDEO
light is on.
You’ll learn more about using the
VIDEO/AUDIO
selector to achieve a sound mix later
in this chapter under “Ways to Use Audio”.
