Switching audio tracks quickly and efficiently
Hello All,
Right now I have footage that has different audio recorded on the left and right tracks. On the left track is the interviewer and on the right is the interviewee. What is the easiest way to switch between track 1 and track 2 to be placed on the timeline?
Right now the fastest way I have is to right click on the footage, go to display mode, then go to waveform, then select track 1 or track 2 from a drop down menu, and then go back to display mode and then to composite video. As you can see this is a long winded process.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks.Mikkell Khan

Hi Mikkell – I just posted this answer for the topic before yours … I think you are both asking the same question, so try this and see if it helps.
Select your clip in the PROJECT PANEL the choose Clip > Audio Options > Breakout To Mono . This will create two new master mono audio clips. – You can then edit each clip independently …
NOTE: When you pull mono audio to your timeline it may seem as if the audio doesn’t show. It does, but it will be at the bottom of the audio if your sequence setting have sterio audio tracks as PP will create a new mono track below the sterio tracks (or 5.1 etc). If you know you are going to work with mono, set your sequence settings from sterio to mono or just reduce the sterio tracks and add some mono tracks .. whatever works for you.
Hope this helps. Andrew
