- In this title, I assume you know how to perform basic editing tasks and that you are familiar with the editing tools and workspaces available in Premiere Pro. This will cover all your finishing techniques, and we will assume that you're familiar with the basic tasks necessary in Premiere for editing and saving and exporting your project. There's also one more thing to discuss, and that is the monitoring of your audio. The same way that you should have a well-balanced monitor for color correction, you should have a good and accurate way of listening to your audio. Let's start with speakers. If you're using a laptop, generally speaking, the speakers built in a laptop are just not accurate enough. What you need are speakers that are capable of reproducing all the necessary frequencies. And that translates to full range speakers. You could add a subwoofer to help you with this or use good full range headphones. You should also have a way to listen to your audio that is flat or neutral. In other words, a way of listening to your audio that will be faithful to what the audio really is, not changed or enhanced by the speakers or headphones themselves. I'm sure that you have heard of speakers and headphones that enhance the bass. What this means is that they're not flat and that they are changing the audio that is being reproduced by your program. This will affect the way you process and will result in less than optimal audio. Look at it this way. When it comes to listening to your audio, you're looking for what really is being reproduced by your program, nothing added, nothing taken away, so that you can create a better output. Lastly, the appearance of my desktop and my application may be a little different than what you see in yours. This is because I need to record a specific resolution, and your system may be working with a different resolution. But even if our interfaces look a little bit different, you'll still be able to follow along without any problems.
