How to Change the Volume on an Audio Track in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4
Part of producing a video project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 involves setting sound in your project to the proper levels. Video projects can include people talking, sound effects and music, and the volume level of each element should be the right one to enhance that segment. Premiere lets you adjust the volume individually on the audio tracks of video clips and sound or music files that you add to the project. You can also adjust the overall volume of the project with the Premiere Audio Mixer.

Tips & Warnings
When you adjust the volume level on an audio clip in Premiere Pro, it only adjusts the volume of the clip in the project. The volume of the original file, whether it's a standalone audio clip or the audio in a video clip, is unaffected.
