How to delete 4 out of 6 audio tracks that were captured into FCP?

I accidentally left all the mono tracks setting on while capturing video and audio media files. I would like to know how to get rid of 4 out of the 6 tracks other than when the clip is cut into a sequence then I delete the extra tracks.

I've never tried this, so I'm not sure of the gotchas you might need to overcome, but if you open the media file in QuickTime Player (Pro), and go to Window > Show Movie Properties, you can delete any of the audio tracks you care to, by dragging them to the Trash, or click Delete, or choose Edit > Cut, or press Delete.
I'm thinking that if you go that route, you might need to delete the clip in the Browser first, make the changes in QTPP, then Import that media file into the Browser. Otherwise, FCP might complain about the track deletions.
Or maybe after making those changes in QTPP, Export as a different filename and Import that file into the FCP Browser, keeping the original as is. Just guessing.
But I repeat: I've never tried this.

  • I recently bought a new laptop, installed iTunes and imported my library during a sync with my iPhone. Now I've noticed that any tracks that were ripped into my library from a CD won't play on my iPhone. They're visible but with a red circle next to them.

    Hi, BartleyBauer. 
    If the media that you are attempting to sync plays in iTunes, try removing the preference to sync music as this remove the media from the device.  Once this is done, try syncing the media again.

  • How do I fix a recorded audio track that is clipped?

    HELP! I am new to Garageband and I ran into a problem last week while recording an audio message. When I began recording the audit message with Garageband I noticed that the input signal level was so high that it was constantly being clipped. I couldn't stop doing the recording so I continued to the end of the message. Now that I have the complete audio recording and it is clipped throughout the entire message is there anyway I can compress or dynamically adjust the range of the recording to either eliminate or reduce the clipping?

    It is kind of like recording on a junkie mic. Maybe you can improve the sound or remove artifacts but it will never be as good a rerecord on a decent setup. Digital clipping may be able to be fixed but I cannot believe the sound would be anywhere near decent, especially if you clipped non-stop. The Soundtrack Pro claim must be referring to small moments of clipping, not the entire track.

  • How do I re-download an audio track that I've already purchased?

    One track on an album I bought a few days ago will only play for the first three seconds--it then stops and skips to the next track.  This happens both in iTunes and when I've tried to listen to it on my iPod.  Is there a way to re-download the same track, since I assume this "copy" was corrupted somehow?

    Delete the affected track, do not hide from iTunes in the Cloud if prompted.
    Close iTunes, reopen iTunes.
    Go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not in my library > Songs and download.

  • How to create a new independent audio track?

    okay, probably a stupid question, but how can i create a new audio track that is not a "slave" to an already existing audio track. for example, all of my 8 audio tracks are in use, so when i try to open a new one, it is affected by the highlighted tracks specifications, making it very frustrating. please help and thanks.

    Some things are just backward in Logic...we just have to get use too it.....
    jord, I agree.. it's not that hard to understand the difference between an arrange track and an audio object. the fact that you can have many tracks in the arrangement that all use the same audio object or midi object is a great thing.
    I think if people get their head around the fact that the arrange page _is not_ simply a representation of what is physically available in terms of tracks, then it all becomes clear.
    I would recommend all new users to do the following:
    click on your arrange window, and select the top track. start hitting delete until you have deleted every single track in the arrangement. you now have a blank page. but, importantly, the environment of available audio tracks/audio instruments/midi channels/whatever has not changed one single bit. you can now assign anything to your arrange page. 55 arrange tracks that are all using audio instrument 1 if you so desire. or, sequentially create new tracks that are all using subsequent channels/instruments by controlshiftreturn (by default).
    people often get confused by doing the following: they create a new track in the arrangement - say they had audio instrument 1 and then created another _arrange track_ of audio instrument 1. then, they look in the parameter box for that second arrange track, and change it to audio instrument 2. then they get annoyed that for some reason, both tracks now change to audio instrument 2.. but this is totally normal, because you have changed the assigment of the same audio object, that just happened to be present in the arrangement in the form of 2 arrange tracks. the way to change what object is assigned to an arrange track is to click-hold on the track name (right there where the track is in the arrange list) and then you will see a pop up of all of the available objects, hierarchically presented to represent the environment layers in your song. or, instead of doing this, you can just create an arrange track that uses the next available audio track/instrument by using the key command described above (controlshiftreturn).
    it's not at all illogical or backwards! when I am writing a midi part using an audio instrument, I (very) often want multiple arrange tracks of the same instrument so I can test out different ideas or variations.. muting all except the one I currently want to hear. and importantly, they aren't "copies" or "clones" of the same track, nor are they "linked" tracks that change assignment together, as many people seem to think. they are independant arrange tracks that just happen to have the same track or instrument assigned to them. once you get this, you start getting logic.
    the way to build new audio objects or midi objects (which is what people mean when they say "new track") is and has always been in the environment. although, now there are shortcuts to do it by using the function 'create multiple tracks' which will produce the objects for you in the arrangement and add them to your arrangement in one operation. you also need to be aware of the setting in your audio prefs (or in hardware and drivers, can't remember which) where you define the maximum number of tracks that the audio engine will allow, this being another stalling point for many new users.
    like I said, once you 'get' this architecture in your head, you start realising how powerful and flexible working on arrangements in logic will be. for me, it's a way better implementation than playlists in protools, for example.

  • How can I re-locate an audio track?

    I moved the audio track that I'm using from iTunes so it shows a yellow hazard triangle within my iMovies project. I have moved the audio clip back to where it was in iTunes but iMovie can't find it, and I can't find an option to re-locate the clip. How do I re-locate?
    I could just drag the audio back in and delete the original, but it had lots of editing already with volume and cutting bits out here and there that I don't want to have to repeat if possible.

    If you hover your cursor over the yellow triangle, it may give you the path it is looking for.

  • How can I make a synced audio track match the length of selected clips in a multicam seq?

    I have a continuous multicam sequence of about 13 minutes containing a synced master audio track recorded from seperate microphones. I want to rearrange scenes from it into my final sequence, but when I select a range of clips to nest the entire length of audio gets pasted into the new sequence. I want to trim the audio to match just the clips I've selected but not lose sync. Is there a way to do this or is nesting not the way to chop up a sequence and rearrange the scenes in it?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Me too!!!  I have a multicam sequence from 2 cameras with the audio staying on camera 1. I also have a seperate, continuous  audio track recorded from microphones which I have synced to the timeline. I'm trying to select a group of sequential clips of different camera angles from the timeline to create scenes which I can insert into a final sequence but in a different order from how they are on the timeline. Let's say I want to take a series of clips that start at 3:30 on the timeline and go until 4:30 on the timeline.  It will contain several cuts between the different cameras and I want to use that section as the first scene of my new sequence. If I select all of the clips in that time period and nest them into a new sequence, I only get the audio from camera 1 on the new TL. If I try window selecting those clips to include the continuous audio track, I get a new TL with 3 minutes and 30 seconds of the desired audio, then the video clips, and then the rest of the audio making a 13 minute TL. I just learned, after searching around, about marking in and out points on my multicam seq. and using the trick of "LIFTing" and then "UNDOing" to keep my  multiseq intact, and then pasting into a new sequence. That works, but I'm only getting the audio track from off the camera. It won't select and lift the section of the other audio track that I want. I'm rushed for time so that's the way I've ended up finishing the video for now. The camera audio is just going to have to do although the mic recording is much better. The more I try to explain this the more confused I get and I'm sure everybody reading it does too. Any ideas?   Thanks!

  • How To Create Bookmarks in an Audio Track

    Today I upgraded from iMovie 06 to iMovie 09 and cannot figure how to add bookmarks to an audio track for timing my video/photo transitions. In iMovie 06, I used "Open Apple-B" to create bookmarks at the beat of an audio track but in iMovie 09 I don't even find reference in any books/on-line help to do so.

    In iMovie, they are called Beat Markers. If you search for Beat Markers in the Help you should find it.

  • How do I add/import multiple audio tracks when adding a video to the Elements timeline?

    I have 2 audio tracks that have been made, but only 1 is being brought in. ( It is a .Ts video file that is from Hauppauge Capture and it has game play audio and commentary audio that is being over-layed.) They are written as separate audio tracks but when imported into Premier only 1 of the 2 are being brought in. Is there a way to bring in both files?

    It is my recollection that we had a similar question a little while ago on this question. I do not recall the outcome. My first impression "it is what it is", but I am trying to dust off my memory to make sure that the user did not come up with a unique way to workaround the situation. I will start searching for the thread that I think that I remember.
    If you find the thread first, please post and let us know.

    How to sign out of all the devices that have my apple id?

    For example: on an iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud, then tap Delete Account.
    "Deleting" the account is a bit of a misnomer because that action only deletes the account from the device. It can just as easily be added again. It is not possible for users to delete their iCloud account from Apple's records.

  • On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up?

    On my ipad 2 I can't "see" the hundreds of spoken audio tracks that are in my itunes and on my ipod touch. Is there something I didn't do during sync up? The tracks are from voice recordings that were downloaded from an extrernal drive and weren't necessarily tagged as spoken audio. Do I need to go back into itunes and relabel these tracks so they will show up on my ipad2?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.
