Split Audio for one clip

[Black Lab]

There's always two ways etc etc.
Here's my solution. Open the clip. Go to Audio View and use the rubber band to reduce the volumn to the lowest level (vitually muting it ) of the unwanted part of the audio. No need to split the audio at all. Also has the anvantage that if you need to adjust it is so easy to do so later without any sync problems.

I don't understand. Why not just use the Mute button?

Then that would have muted the entire clip. I understood that it was only parts of the clip that needed the audio muted.

I didn't get that impression from anything he said.

To clarify
I wanted to put all the audio from the entire clip in another part of the project.With that done I then could edit the original clip as desired
via multi trim thereby cutting out parts of the clip I did not want to show.

If I read you right...are you not then setting yourself up for sync issues when matching the entire audio with the cut up video?

This is what I was doing-I filmed some dancers in a Madeira Hotel.I filmed all they did, several different folklore songs and dancing.I then split the audio from that to use after the intro at the start of the project.Then I went back to the clip of the video which was inserted later on in the project and edited the video by cutting out some parts of it of (with the audio intact and cut at the same point as the video)This was to avoid it being too boring, just watching dancing for too long..................Ken
