Pan or balance a 16-channel track

When you select a sequence containing a 16-channel master audio track, Direct Output Assignment buttons appear above the sliders for each track in the Audio Mixer. Click each of these buttons to assign each track channel to a destination channel in the master track.
Note: One Direct Output Assignment button appears in each track for every channel within that track. For example, a monaural track has a single Direct Output Assignment button, while a 5.1 track has six Direct Output Assignment buttons.

  1. If the Audio Mixer is not open, select Window > Audio Mixer, and select the desired 16-channel sequence.

    Direct Output Assignment buttons show to which Master track channel Adobe Premiere Pro automatically assigned the channels of the initial tracks. As you create additional tracks, Adobe Premiere Pro automatically assigns their channels to channel 1, 1-2, or 1-6 in the 16-channel Master track, depending on the number of channels within the new track.

  2. In the Audio Mixer, for each channel in a track, click the Direct Output Assignment button, and select one of the 16 channels in the Master track as the destination for that channel.
    Note: You cannot assign track sends to the Master track in a 16-channel sequence.
