    Preface this with the fact that I’m using FC Studio HD and haven’t had time to learn all the intracacies of Soundtrack/FCP yet. . . I have a 2 angle multiclip created. Clip A has (R)ight & (L)eft general audio from a wedding reception, clip B has the same general audio on one channel and the other channel has the audio from a wireless mic. I can edit the video to the best angle, but I really want to find a way to take the audio from say angle B and merge the R & L channels to create a combined R & L audio that has the general audio and wireless mic audio on each channel. Any clear suggestions on how to accomplish this? Do I create a sequence with clip B only and export the audio to an audio file (what format?) and then import that audio, synch it with the multiclip video? Will that exported file still have R & L channels that are not mixed? It is important they are mixed since I don’t want general audio coming out of one speaker and and the mic audio coming out of a separate speaker on playback. The answer might be a bit involved, but I would really appreciate suggestions, I’m on a deadline and out of ideas.

    What you want to do is a simple manual mix. Open the individual master clips in the Viewer and place the audio tracks from each back into the timeline. Cut, trim, adjust levels and pans for all four tracks.

    There is actually a way to do separate audio cuts on any of all tracks for all cameras using the multicam interface but I’ve never been able to figure it out. I just go back and replace individual tracks if I must.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”
