merge all audio into 1 track
We have a project which needs to be exported for an international broadcaster. They need full mix including voiceover on channel 1 and full mix without voiceover on channel 2.
We can do this with lots of mucking around but there must be an easy way to mix all tracks into 1 mono track. We will the delete the voiceover and do the same mix for channel 2.
Any suggestionsNigel Walker

First duplicate your timeline.
Export > Quicktime Conversion > Audio to AIFF
Import that back in and place that on any two audio channels available. Pan that AIFF to Channel 1. There’s your mix with voiceover.
Mute your original voice over tracks.
Do the Export to AIFF again.
Import that back in, place that on any two audio channels available. Pan that AIFF to Channel 2.
There’s your mix without voiceover.There you go.

Thanks very much for the info Walter. It is a shorter version of what I was doing, so thats great but I was kinda hoping there would be an easy fix inside FCP similar to merge or flatten in Photoshop.

We also export a Full mono Mix for Track1 and then a Nat/music mono mix for track 2. We then place that audio on the duplicated sequence and set our audio for the sequence as Dual Mono in Sequence Settings. The reason we set the audio is because sometimes we place Nat Only on track 3 and Music only on track 4. This way our workflow is always the same even if there is no ISO Nat or Music. Since tracks 1 & 2 are already routed we just route track 3 to output 3 and track 4 to output 4 when the additional audio is needed.
