How to Record Audio with Adobe Premiere Pro
The Adobe Premiere Pro is a great program to edit videos using timeline feature. In the timeline, the audio and video get separated and you can also record a new audio sound or an effect, directly to the timeline. You can also add the newly recorded audio to the new sequence or even you can insert into an existing sequence. The audio then be saved as a clip, and will automatically be added to your project. Using Adobe Premiere Pro is really easy and even a novice user can record an audio sound without any difficulty.
