  • Unlinked audio (muti) tracks, how to link them together again.

    Posted by Karel Voners on March 25, 2015 at 4:06 pm

    Don’t know how to describe this issue but I’ll do my best.

    I have an audio file containing 4-6 tracks from different microphones.

    When I insert them on the timeline all of them are linked, when I “go to the frame” on the audio clip it show the file with all the tracks in the viewer.

    Now for some reason, some of the audio has become “unlinked”. When I select the clip is only selects the clip of one track, only that single audio track gets highlighted, and when I go to the frame it only opens that audio channel in the viewer. (no other audio channels appear in different tabs in the viewer).

    Does anyone know how to solve this?

    2 ways clips can behave as you describe:
    1. they have become un-linked
    2. you have Linked Selection turned off in the timeline

    a bit hard to tell from your pic which it is, as your timeline view of “reduced” leaves out the link indicator, which is a fine line under the clip name.

    tuning linked selection on (or off!) is very easy: Shift L
    or the tiny link button top right of the timeline.

    it’s also relatively easy to unlink all your clips.
    select everything in the timeline, and hit Command L

    but to re-link, you can only do it ONE CLIP AT A TIME.
    select the tracks (including video, if any) and Command L
