How to add multiple layers of audio to FCPX?

Hi All-
I have 1/2 a dozen clips in the time line and I have disabled the audio from all (inspector--->Audio---->uncheck Channel Config).

These clips are all Irish dance ("Lord of the Dance" type), the audio on the clips is no good, hence I disabled it. I have 5-6 music mp3's to add as the main audio soundtrack, I'll fade in/out with clips (clips are separate dances). I'm not worried about any synching here.

I also have a lengthy audio clip of just tap dancing on a hardwood stage. I would like to have the music run and at the same time have the tap dancing sound effect play with the music-yet be able to fade the tapping in/out and have separate volume on it (to blend it into the music track).

Not sure how to begin, or if it can be done. I'm thinking possibly using the "Dual Mono" because I think separate channels can be independently adjusted as I'm thinking? Any idea's on doing this, how to, some freebie tutorial anywhere,any workflow sequence etc would be appreciated-

Thanks, Robes

The first thing I would do is create an event and call sound or whatever. Import all the audio into that event.

It sounds like you have disabled the "original" audio track so now it is just a matter of getting those new imported audio files in the project timeline.

Drag your first audio file to the project timeline. You can the. "Layer" other audio tracks below one another, or with FCPX above the video too.

You'll need to adjust the audio volume levels accordingly to get your desired result. You can also use the Position tool (p) to move tracks around freely.

Try this to start and let us know how it goes. Hopefully I' ve given you semi accurate info.
