Working with Tracks
When you splice and overwrite material into a sequence, at some point
you may need to add more tracks than you have in your sequence. (So
far, you’ve been dealing with sequences with just one video track and
two audio tracks.)

will probably need to patch video or audio from tracks on the source side
to different tracks on the record side.
Adding Tracks
When adding tracks to a sequence, you can add the next track in the
sequence or add a specific track of your choice.
To add the next track in the sequence, do one of the following:

Select Clip > New Audio Track Mono. (You can also select Clip > New
Audio Track Stereo if you want to add a stereo audio track. We’ll dis-
cuss mono and stereo audio in Chapter 5.)

Press Ctrl+U (Windows) or Command+U (Macintosh) to add a mono
audio track, or press Ctrl+Shift+U (Windows) or Command+Shift+U
(Macintosh) to add a stereo audio track.

Right-click in the gray area of the Timeline window, and from the menu,
select New Audio Track Mono or New Audio Track Stereo.
To add a specific track in the sequence:
1. With a sequence in the Timeline, do one of the following:
 Press and hold Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) while select-
ing Clip > New Audio Track.
 Press Alt+Ctrl+U (Windows) or Option+Command+U (Macintosh).
2. Specify which audio track you want to add and whether you want an
Audio Mono or Audio Stereo track.
NOTE Yo u m a y w a nt
to add a specific track
if you are working on a
program that has all of a
particular type of audio
(such as dialogue, music,
sound effects, and so
on) located on certain
tracks. Organizationally
speaking, it’s usually
not a good idea to have
inconsistent audio types
edited together on the
same track.
