I would like to know if with VideoStudio pro x2 you can choose what audio track you want to render. What I mean is this: I have recorder a live event and on one channel I have recorded the sound direct from the audio console (XLR out to XLR IN my camera) and on the other channel I have used the bulit in microphone of the camera. Now with VideoStudio pro x2, can I choose which audio I can keep? and then use this audio on both tracks?

Just mute the track you don't want.

So both audio tracks are on the same video tape? If so, VS cannot differentiate between the two. VS will recognize it as one audio track.

VS9, VS10+ and VS11+ had a 'Duplicate Audio Channel' facility which copied the left channel to the right or vice versa. Does this not exist in X2?

Wait! What do you mean by "channel"? The console track on the left channel, and the camera mic on the right channel (or vice-versa)? If that's the case, then yes you can create a mono track from the console track.

Sorry, I can't tell you how to do it with Video Studio, because I edit audio with a separate audio editor. But somebody here can help with the details.

However if the two inputs (or two pairs of inputs) are mixed, then no... You can't "un-mix" audio, and you can't un-bake a cake.
