Curious. I made a compound clip of all my audio. When I Expand Audio Components I get the various 'tracks'. But no access to the specific clips. How can I go from here to opening the track itself ... so I can adjust the mix on the various clips? Or did I make my compound clip the wrong way? I seem to remember that in the past I'd Expand Audio Components and get everything, all the clips, as in a pre-compound mode ... where everything is adjustable.
You're getting the mix down of the clips with the same role from inside the compound. To access the individual clips you have to open the compound clip by double clicking it. I'm not sure embedding all your audio into a compound is useful. Working with roles and collapsing them using the Roles Index is probably more helpful in reducing clutter in the timeline, while giving you quick access to the content when you need it.

Thank you Tom. You're right. It works. Double clicking at the right time. Story of my life.
The only reason I made a compound clip was because this is a short piece and it was riding hot and wanted to just lower the volume level across the board quickly. I suppose I could have highlighted all the audio clips and then keystroked them down a few db. In fact, I'm going to try that right now. I'm wary of using compound clips unless absolutely necessary.
Thanks again for your help ... very much appreciated ...
