While a single averaged audio waveform representing all the channels in that clip is shown by
default, you can switch any clip to seeing each individual waveform in a vertical stack by
right-clicking any audio clip and choosing Display Individual Audio Channels.
Enabling the display of multiple channel waveforms in the Timeline
Whenever you cut an audio clip, you cut all audio channels with it. Audio channels that are
embedded within a single track cannot be individually edited.
Editing Audio In the Timeline
Using In and Out Points
Audio clips can be edited using all of the commands and tools available for video clips.
However, it’s good to know that one of the most common techniques of editing audio in other
environments is available in DaVinci Resolve, and that is the ability to identify a range of audio
to cut, copy, or delete using Timeline In and Out points, so that you can easily eliminate, move,
or duplicate partial sections of audio without having to use the Razor Edit or Split
Clip commands.
To delete a section of audio using In and Out points:
1 Set In and Out points in the Timeline to identify the range of audio you want to
eliminate. If necessary, turn off the Auto Select controls of tracks to omit overlapping
audio clips you don’t want to delete from this operation.

Forward Delete key to delete the section of audio and ripple the Timeline to close
thegap.
