OK, so I use premier pro v2 and not Premiere v6 but I never do any audio editting or effects in Premiere. In my (tainted) eyese premire is for video and Audition is for Audio. i.e use the right tool for the right job.

If it's anything other than a quick and simple test I always extract audio and edit/tweak it in a seperate app (in my case Adobe Audition) and then put it back on the timeline after that.

Do you have this option?
