Using Background Audio

To control the level of the music, use the Background Music slider in the Audio Mixer. Use the keyboard controls shown in the preceding table to adjust the audio level.

Depending on how you set things up, the CURRENT source transitions to the NEXT source and the background music plays uninterrupted between them. The audio from the CURRENT and NEXT sources normally follows the video transitions—for example, if you set up a dissolve transi- tion, audio from the CURRENT source fades away, then the audio from the NEXT source fades in.
