Disappointing – there was nothing new at all here. Writing Audio like demonstrated here has been available since at least Premiere 6.5, if not earlier.

Why are most recent tutorials about “new” features in CS4 that have actually been standards for years?

It’s a mix, I’ve covered most of the new features but also want to cover other areas as well. Doing training, this feature is easily one of the top 3 missed by most people learning Premiere. It’s pretty handy once you start using it.

Thanks for the informative tutorial. A great video is nothing without great audio. I run my own video production company, so much of this was not new to me. However, I’m glad to see some of you doing tutorials that don’t require the latest version, even though CS4 was the only one mentioned at the beginning. Diggit apparently doesn’t realize that not everyone rushes out to buy (or pirate – and I hope you guys get caught) the latest version. Keep up the great work.

There are so many great core features that are powerful, and audio is often overlooked!

Thanks for watching

I want to elaborate on the comment about the guy who hopes are the “pirates gets caught”.
Let me start by being a pragmatic realist; sorry, but it’s not going to happen. The loner who is in possession of one pirated version of CS4 on their home PC may find that upgrades are not longer available, but he/she is not going to get “caught” or in any trouble. Nonetheless, there is the “bigger picture” and a point to be made.
If you are loyal to Adobe, and find Adobe products to be “second to none” and would like to see Adobe remain a viable company then you have a moral obligation to purchase, register and activate your Adobe product license, and this includes not lending your disks to a freind.
I hope Adobe takes on and shuts down the illegal Torrents, I hope they prosecute any company who uses is using illegal copies for profit and finally, that the authorities track down those who distribute tools meant to disable the anti-piracy safeguards .
Most of us would never consider stealing $3000 worth of computer hardware and that is because most of us cannot imagine the enormous costs that go into designing, writing, testing and manufacturing a software package.
Let me just say that of 50 qualified people people spend 1-year to write a software package like Adobe CS4 the salaries alone amount to about $15 million dollars.
While it would be nice if a more affordable version of Adobe’s product line was available the public needs to realize they are not the only entity that is doing harm and threatening Adobe’s survival.
I have been a PC user since 1985 and witnessed far too many good software companies close their doors forever.
It’s not that they become obsolete, rather most become incompatable with Microsoft’s newest operating systems, and tend to believe this is intentional . Some fall prey to Microsofts high-paid legal department, and recently we have heard that “open software” is not immune to their tactics.
Looking back at the last 25 years we can assume that it’s only a matter of time before Adobe is either offered a “price they better not refuse” or ends up in court facing a focued legal team that is highly and well funded.
The point I want to make is that each Adobe CS4 Suite or individual product that is not paid for is
1) stealing a lot of money from Adobe uused to pay their employees salaries, their research funds and compnay operating costs while
2) Supporting Micorsoft’s predatory practices and compnay vision being the sole source of profitabe PC software which includes Adobe’s product line
It’s said, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and think about this.
Each time Abobe loses revenue to piracy, especially in the manner that happened with CS4, we risk losing a company that produces the finest publishing software available.
If you are here cause you like Adobe you also have a moral and ethical obligation to the Adobe community.
This includes possessing licensed legal copies of all our Adobe products.

Nice job of explaining how to set track keyframes on the fly.

Something I haven’t been able to find an explanation or tutorial about is, how do you adjust track keyframes using the mixer, once you set them in the timeline? I want to move a keyframe to precisely zero, but if I created it by ctrl-clicking in the timeline, I can’t seem to override settings in the audio mixer. It acts like it changed, but when I go back, the settings are still the same.

I tried enabling track for recording, and fiddling with other settings (read, write, etc.), but I can’t seem to figure this one out.

Help?
