<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>You most likely captured them as Stereo Pairs.<BR>
Make sure the clip is selected in the timeline.<BR>
Under Modify menu, uncheck Stereo Pair.<BR>
Hold down the Option key, and click on the track you wish to delete.<BR>
Hit Delete.<BR>
<BR>
Double click on the remaining track in the timeline to open it up into the Viewer.<BR>
Click on the audio tab at the top of the Viewer screen. It should say something like Mono2.<BR>
Reset the pan control to 0.<BR>
<BR>
If you turn off the audibility (on the left side of the timeline) yes, it will remain muted when you export.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Using Final Cut Express 2, I have two audio tracks on my timeline that were recorded <BR>
using the mic on the camera (channel 1) and an external mic (channel 2)<BR>
Track 1 has a lot of wind noise on it. I want to delete it but can't figure out how to <BR>
separate it from the other track and delete it in the timeline. I realize I can mute it with the buttons on the left. Can I delete it and just keep the good track as a mono track? How?<BR>
If muted, will it remaine muted when I export it as quicktime to burn on dvd? <BR>
