I believe this will do what you want to do…

Select the audio you want to “mixdown & treat”. If it is synced to video clips, un-sync so you are dealing with just the audio. Go to sequence & nest the audio clips. It will ask if you want to mixdown the clips. Check yes. You can then apply filters to the nested clip

are you converting before importing. If so, just import the aiff file directly. In the timeline, is there a red bar at the top. This means in needs rendering. On audio, you will here a series of beeps when you try to play it. Hope this helps

Everybody’s tips on lighting is the key to getting a good key. I use Boris Continuum for my keying. One last tip. if you are getting a fairly good key but seeing a litte tearing around the subject, I apply a slight gaussian blur to the alpha channel.
