Working with the Audio Tab in Source Mode
When you load an asset in Source mode in the Asset Editor, the Audio tab displays the audio tracks that are available for monitoring and lets you select which tracks to monitor. MediaCentral Cloud UX can load and monitor up to 24 audio tracks for master clips, subclips, and shotlists, five audio tracks for news sequences, and eight tracks for Sequences. You can adjust the volume for individual tracks or the overall volume. Adjustments are not saved.
The following illustration shows the Audio tab for a clip in Source mode and identifies the controls. The clip used in this example includes more than four tracks, with tracks 1 through 5 displayed. Other tracks are available by enlarging the tab or by using the scroll bar.
