This tutorial is based on Adobe Premiere 5.1 for Apple Mac. The Windows version is very similar but newer versions of Premiere (version 6+) are slightly different.

There are a large number of different audio filters available in Premiere, from bandpass and notch filters, to reverbs and delays, to flangers and other weird things. You can apply as many filters as you wish to a single clip, simply by selecting them from the left hand menu. Filters applied to a clip are listed in the right hand side of the window , and can then be removed from the clip by selecting them and clicking on the remove button.

Each time you apply a filter to a clip, a window with settings for the filter will appear, such as the one shown on the left. These obviously vary for different effects, but all have a preview function, which helps you to find the required settings more easily.

Audio filters do not necessarily need to be rendered in order to work, but Premiere will render them anyway, and this is probably for the best, as it may help to prevent the occasional stutter.
