So I'm down to the nitty-gritty on my Episode I edit, and this make or break the tone I'm going for.

I have the audio broken apart, Center (2 channels) L, R, Surround Left, Surround Right, for 6 total audio tracks. There are some vocals I just can't scrub out, plus I need to eliminate a new cue so I've gone to the original soundtrack where the cue doesn't exist. I've brought in an aiff of the soundtrack into audio track 7 and timed it up perfectly, and can drop out channels 1-6 at the right times, but that leaves me with how to handle the single track where I had only one before.

Here is my guess, but I wanted to make sure it makes sense, my thought is to create 6 total duplicated tracks from my soundtrack source, and move them into the respective 1-6 channels, then as best I can, match the volume from the two of them, then do a cross fade to hide the actual cut, being that I've timed them within a frame or two, a cross-fade should take care of it, right? I can do the same thing for new cue it goes into right?

If there is a better way for this, please let me know, or if this will should work, again, please confirm what I'm trying to do.


UPDATE: This appears to have worked, no need to respond.
Thanks!
