deleling single track
I’m an ex Avid-editor, just learning FCP.
I have a situation where i’ve got some soundbites on the timeline,
but automatically I get the audio on both ch1 and ch2 when I drop them
down to the timeline. I want to delete ch2, and keep only ch1,
but when I highlight ch2 track, press delete, both tracks are deleted.
It’s like they are linked together.
How do I unlink them so I can have the option to use one or the other only?thanks

select all your clips then hit opt + L to unlink the stereo pairs. Lock the video track and your audio 1 track. Then you should be clear to delte.

if the audio is part of a stereo pair then you need to break that hard pairing … select the clip and press Opt-L (or deselect Modify menu > Stereo Pair)
once thats done, if “Linked Selection” is turned on, then you can select individual elements of a clip by holding down the Option key when clicking on any clip track … holding the Option key will override the current “Linked Selection” status… if “Linked Selection” is already turned off then a normal click will select only the element of the clip selected. You can toggle the “Linked Selection” status on/off by pressing Shift-L (or selecting Edit menu > Linked Selection … or by pressing the button that looks like a chain link at top right of the timeline window’s button bar)
