Native Audio

[richardteam]

Is it possible to delete the original audio in "Native Audio" and use the track to replace it with your own audio (in case you would want to use a seperate recording device for audio rather than the camera). I use some more advanced audio programs to create the sound of my movies, but then I come across the problem of not having enough audio tracks... sound effects: used up by sound effects... Background audio: used up by music... narraration: used up by more sound effects, and well- narraration... Native audio: unremovable to my knowledge. Is there a way to indeed remove it? It's very complicated having to use internal tracks for each individual cut....

You can Mute it, by choosing Edit\ Native Audio and moving the slider all the way to the left ( -34 )

I know about the muting, but my issue is the fact that I need an extra audio track... I mean, there are only four audio tracks available, and I need like 5 or 6, or replacing native with another.

You've got more audio tracks. Switch to the Timeline view. Go to the little box on the left with the + - signs. Select Background Audio, Narration, Effects.

 

In addition to those 3 tracks that can all be used for sound, you've got 3 more INTERNAL tracks.

You cannot remove the native track.

Besides using the internal tracks you could also fill the existing 3 tracks and then outout your production to an DV avi file. Then reload your new avi and you will have 3 new audio tracks available.
