Which tool lets you adjust a clip's audio level?

• A. Audio Mixer
• B. Audio Compressor
• C. Volume Inspector
• D. Audio Rack

Answer: (A)

The ability to set how loud a clip sounds in the sequence is handled by the Audio Mixer. It provides faders for each audio track and meters to monitor levels, so you can balance dialogue, music, and effects across the entire timeline in real time. The mixer is the right tool for adjusting overall levels rather than making selective changes to dynamics or per-clip adjustments. A compressor changes how peaks behave by tightening dynamics, not simply setting a base level. The Volume Inspector can adjust the volume on a single clip, but it doesn’t offer the holistic, track-based control and mixing capability that the Audio Mixer provides. The Audio Rack is for applying effects and routing, not for basic level balancing.
