Is there a way to streamline switching between audio tracks/recordings of the same event?

Question

Hi!I'm currently trying to edit a 3 camera, 4 microphones (one + 3 on cameras) recording of a public event.The audio recording has numerous problems and is of very low quality. You can hear the tripods making noise, the cameramen whispering and the speaker kept walking in a 20-meter radius without being properly followed - so the recording is very, very inconsistent.I have 4 audio tracks in the Audition project and they're working all ok. Synced and all.Here's my question:Is there a way to nicely streamline the "participation" of individual microphones/tracks in this recording, so I don't have to create a bunch of keyframes or new clips 'cause of dozens and dozens of these smaller parts that need to be toned down in the audio?Thank you for your answers!

Usually the way with multiple versions of the same audio on different tracks is to make a separate composite track to master to. That way you can just add all the bits you want to keep onto one track which you can then go through and adjust the level/EQ of each clip on a second editing pass rather than trying to do it all at once.

You go through each track and select the part you want to keep by dragging the mouse over it and then use the Split command to chop out that section. You can then slide that clip onto your new master track. Thus building up your master Dialogue track bit by bit. You can always adjust the length of each chosen clip once they are separated onto the master track but grabbing and pulling the ends of the clip. You can also slide the audio within the clip if you need to move it's position without changing the length of the clip. Any overlap between clips will be automatically cross faded.
