Can audio tracks be deleted from clips?

I would like some nice classical music playing behind my first video project. The way it is, all the clips have random voices and ambient sounds that are quite irritating. Can I simply delete the existing audio tracks (without the video being deleted with it) and replace it all with a track of music behind the entire video?
I see the audio can be turned off, and maybe that is the way to handle it but I'm worried that the bad audio may come back somehow (get unchecked. I just want to know that I am approaching this in the correct way.
TIA,
Ken

Tom, I've jumped into Final Cut Express HD without reading the getting started manual. What you are saying lets me know that I am going about things in the wrong way. I like the timeline because I can visually see the sequence of events and it seems natural to work there. I'll curl up with the getting started manual now that I have it printed out, and see how I am supposed to begin working on a project - doing it the right way.
Extreme thanks for all of your help. Because of the answers you and others gave to my questions, I was able to put enough together to show that indeed, this software is going to be right for a project we want to do in our company.
I'll start out by finding out what the patch panel is.

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

Yes. If you want 32 tracks, your environment should have 32 audio objects.
How can I make more audio tracks?
There is a short cut to creating the audio objects in the environment - use the Tracks -> Create Multiple feature - Logic will ask you how many tracks to add, and will create them and add them to the environment and arrange accordingly.

How do i mute an audio track without deleting it.

how do i mute an audio track without deleting it?

There have been a few recent posts, where Audio Mixer settings are not "held," in PrE 11. Those cited problems seem to be Project-specific, in that Audio Mixer works, as expected, in a new Project - just not the one, causing issues.
I do not know if there is a glitch/Bug in Audio Mixer, or if the users are doing something that is "disconnecting" Audio Mixer in some way.
As a test, create a New Project, Import a Video file with Audio (Muxed Video Stream and Audio Stream), and test Audio Mixer, and the Mute function there. How does Audio Mixer work in that Project? Does the Muting of the Audio "stick?"
Second test: in your existing Project, Select all the Clips on that Audio Track #1, and drag them to Audio Track #2, or another, empty Audio Track, and test the Mute for that new Track, in Audio Mixer. How does that work for you? Does the Mute stick?
Good luck,

Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted. Trash can be bulk deleted.

Can emails be bulk deleted from Iphone 4s or does each have to be marked individually then deleted. Trash can be bulk deleted.

Each has to be deleted.
But it can go faster if the iPhone is held in the horizontal position, then on the left side listing tap Edit in the upper raight bar of that pane, and just tap each email to be deleted, then when you have a batch to delete, tap delete at the bottom left. That is the fastest way I have found.

Can preloaded apps be deleted from iPhone5c

Can preloaded apps be deleted from iPhone5c?

Thanks for the suggestion of foldering the apps. The big issue is that new software takes up so much space on the phone that it would be nice to free up some room dropping apps I never use. Thanks for the reply,,,,,appreciate it!

Can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD

can i recover emails deleted from the cloud after reformating my HD, these are very important emails, after reformatting my hard drive to fix some trouble i was having w/ maverics, these copies were deleted, and my icloud deletes messages more than a month old. help??

Hi,
If you use the iCloud.com login or the Mail App and "fetched" the Mail and deleted that way there is not way to get it back.
You could have archived it or placed it in Folders (created in Mail or on the web Login) and that will have stored them on the IMAP server and they would have been retrievable.

Why can't I separate audio tracks when I import clips from an sd card into FCP 7

Why Can't I separate audio tracks when I import sd card files into fcp 7?

You need to ask this on the Final Cut Studio forum

How can I merge 2 audio tracks without deleting any sections?

I want to merge 2 audio tracks, but when I do that I loose the overlap bit, I want to save everything, just merge them. How do I do that?
Thanks!

why do you want to merge them?
If it's to apply a common fx chain, then send them to a buss, put fx on the buss, send that to another free audio channel and record it, so that you've effective bounced within Logic. Then mute the original tracks so you can change whatever you need to.

Restoring 2nd audio track after deleting?

In a recent shoot on a Red One, I put the lav audio on mono track 1, and a boom mic on mono track 2. After importing it into Premiere Pro and placing my clips into a sequence, I felt the boom mic track 2 sounded too echo-y, so I deleted it from the sequence timeline and proceeded to editing my video using track 1 audio only. Well, now the client wants to use the boom mic track.
Is there an way easy way to restore the the 2nd audio track while keeping my edits in place?

Well, it's not really easy or automatic, but if you park the playhead at the first frame of a clip in a sequence, target the track, and then hit M to match frame, you'll load up the master clip for that clip instance into the Source Monitor. From there, you can edit the whole clip or just the audio portion back into the sequence; it should be already marked with an in and out point to match the duration of the sequence clip.

Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
Thanks in advance!!

Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.

Can't access the "delete from server" option in AOL mail setting.

iPhone 4s, ios 5.1, Verizon customer. I have never had an issue until this phone. Any ideas why I can see the "delete from server" option, but I can't check it? It's really annoying to delete emails from my phone and then have to go back and delete from my computer.
Thank you in advance.

Is the email account that has this problem a POP account or IMAP. If POP, there should be a setting in the account's setting that determines whether an email is deleted from the server when downloaded. If IMAP than deleting on the device should delete on the server and other devices/computers. A problem can occur if the other devices have already downloaded the same email that you are trying to delete. It may take some time for it to delete from other devices. And some providers have bugs in this process. My carrier is Verizon, but I never use their email service.
