Replacing entire audio track – Answer required Quickly!
Hi, I have two audio tracks. One that was the original audio recorded for our film and the other track was the ‘cleaned up’ version by a sound engineer.
While editing we used the sound engineer cleaned up audio and now when we are coming to the final mixdown he is telling us that this audio (his audio) is unuseable due to the fact that we placed audio gain etc. in places that he cleaned up as noise but was actually people speaking a bit softly.
Now we created another track of dubbing which was done in ADR to compensate for this due as it stands now he is saying that we should replace the track he used with the original track that we gave him.
Now I would like to know if there is a non-insane version of replacing this track to have everything that was placed down to now be read by the original track. Both tracks are the same length.
Or if anything, do you guys think that I should just take off the audio gain and effects from what we did to his track and thus give him his cleaned up track except exactly as he gave us?
Please respond quickly, he needs to get it today to work on it if we have any hope of sending it to a festival in time.

When I am in the situation of replacing audio with the original, I match frame the video clip and re-edit the clip with audio and video back into the timeline.

It sounds like you need to remove audio filters from all clips on a track – you can select multiple clips and right-click – Remove Effects – to quickly remove all effects on those clips.
Then just export a new audio file if that is what you are going for. Or use a nested sequence.
Not entirely sure what you actually need as your final product.

Thanks for the assistance guys. I ended up aligning the tracks in soundbooth and then relinking the track already used in premiere with the aligned track. Seems to be working so far and all my edits for the movie are preserved.
