post production sound workflow at DVinfo.net

I'm curious what programs or techniques people use for making global corrections to audio after the video has been edited. For instance say I decide after assembling my video in an NLE that I want to apply a noise reduction filter or equalization to all the audio that came from a particular camera, scene, or situation. The only way I know of doing that now is to export all the clips with audio from that camera from Premiere Pro to Audition, one by one, and make the same change on them all one by one.

I've just learned that final cut has a product called soundtrack pro which is designed to be used after final cut, which makes doing global changes like this easier. Is there anything like that for Premiere Pro?

I would think you would nest the clips in the sequence to a new sequence --- which effectively makes them one clip --- and apply the corrections from the Premiere tools or export to Soundbooth or Audition, whichever you have...they will update automatically in the new sequence. This would not affect the original sequence, so you would do this as a last-step function and burn the new sequence to your output...

Audition allows you to work directly with the video clip in the multitrack view.

Better answer than mine. Thanks, Steve, I'm still stuck in CS4-land....

Both Audition 3 and CS5.5 work directly with video file soundtracks.
