Question

How do I merge multiple audio files into multiple merged clips?

Hey, I've got some audio files from some Zoom recording device. 
The audio channels have been split up, so now each track has it's own file.
Is there any way to select all audio files and merge them using timecode?
Like you would do with a multicam?
I can merge them one by one, but I want to be able to select all of them, or else it will get very tedious.

Hi Kriister,

 

When you say 'merge' them, are you trying to sync them up in a timeline so that they all play together? I'm going to continue my response assuming, 'yes.' The timecode of each file will probably depend on when you hit record for each instant. For example, if everyone hit record at different times, the time will be different.

 

I think what you're looking for is probably the Sychronize option. To do this, all you have to do is click the hamburger menu next to your sequence and select "Show Audio Time Units." Next, highlight the audio tracks that you want to sync; right click and select Synchronize. Then you can select how you would like to sync them. After that is done, you can double-check to make sure the audio tracks are all in sync. Results may vary a little based on the quality of the audio.

When I say "merge", I mean that I want 4 files to become one file with 4 tracks.
But when I select all my audio files, synchronize and merge are grayed out.
For some reason I can only merge the ones with the same timecode, but it can't automatically group/merge all audio clip with the same timecode with eachother, I have to do it one by one.
I want to make clear that I only have audio files that I want synced with eachother. There is no video.

Oh, I see. To the left of your timeline, you should see A1, A2, A3, etc. Those tracks all have to be "targeted." Here's examples below:
