To enable audio layering:
Choose Timeline > Layered Audio Editing so that a check mark appears by the
command. All overlapping audio will be layered instead of overwritten from that
point forward.
To view audio layering:
1 Choose View > Show Audio Track Layers to reveal track layers for each audio track
(and each lane within a given audio track) in the Timeline. When layering is on, space
appears at the top of each track in the Timeline which provides a region into which you
can edit layered audio clips.
2 To edit an audio clip or segment as a layer within a particular audio track, drag it from
elsewhere in the Timeline or from the Media Pool, and drop it into the empty area
above whatever audio is already in that track.
Dragging an audio clip to become layered above another clip
3 Edit the different superimposed layers of audio such that the segments of each
take that you like are on top. Only the topmost clip segments will be audible. Audio
segments that overlap underneath are silent. To put another layer on top, drag it from
its current position to the empty area at the top of the track.
Dragging a bottom audio layer to appear on top
4 When you’re finished editing clips in track layers, choose View > Show Audio Track
Layers again to hide the individual layers, so that only the topmost clips appear as a flat
sequence in each track and lane.
Hiding layers makes all audio layers appear on a single track, as if the top clips are
overwriting what’s underneath, except the muted material underneath is preserved
