Camtasia Studio 7 - Editing Audio

[eradams]

Hi there -

I am evaluating a copy of Camtasia Studio 7 to create an application demo. The video looks great and I recorded three different renditions of the audio so I could pick and choose the best parts. I can put the first audio on the timeline and cut out the chunks I don't like, but can I mute that line while I edit the audio from the second recording?

Let me know - thanks!

I haven't taken a look at version 7 yet, still working with 6.
The audio editing in Camtasia leaves a lot to be desired. But it is much better now then version 5 and prior. Still it falls short of Adobe Captivate in the audio editing department. Overall Camtasia is a much better product and I am willing to struggle with the few audio shortcomings.

I don't know any way to mute just one line of audio, sorry. It's all or nothing unless they have made a change in version 7.

Thanks for responding. That's what I was afraid of. Do you have any tricks for piecing together multiple audio clips then? The only thing I can think of is to put one clip on and delete the unwanted portions, take off what's left, add the next clip and repeat then put all of the saved pieces back on. Is there anything less awkward or am I missing something?

Thanks!

It's hard to say without knowing how you are doing your recording.
I do mine in one long take, if I make a mistake I just keep on recording.
Then I cut out all of the mistakes during editing and only have one audio clip to worry about.
