I often use EXcam footage where I only need the channel 1 and 2 audio. However, whenever I add a new clip to the timeline, Avid seems to want to automatically add all eight channels to the time-line, even if I only have 2-3 tracks in my timeline to begin with. Is there a way to make sure these unwanted tracks aren't constantly reappearing?
I can obviously deselect those tracks at the source, each time, but there must be an easier way presumably...
Equally, if I view the clip as a source timeline with a waveform, the waveform has to draw not only for the audio that I need, but also the 7 empty tracks. Again, it would be good just to delete these tracks to speed things up. But that only seems possible by creating a subclip.
Thanks
