Unable to add audio to multiple track timelines

Hello all!

My son has been working on a project and is unable to get the mic icon on subsequent timelines to appear bright which then allows for adding audio. I've attached a pic below showing how one track allowed for adding audio, but the others have a dim mic icon which doesn't allow it.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Correct answer Ann Bens

The tracks are 5.1 and wont work with a mic which is usually mono (or stereo).

Thanks again! I think I have it now. Sounds like he added the wrong type of track entirely. Basically, he needs to delete those tracks and add tracks specifically for mono or stereo.

Your sequence is also set to 5.1. Best is to start with stereo.

Make a new sequence with the audio set to stereo and copy everything over.
