Creating a new track from selected audio events

Hi,
Is there a way to create a new track from selected audio events that exist actross multiple tracks?
I have a film where they have mixed dialog and music and effects randomly and I would like to be able to quickly separate these files.
Thanks,Paul

Drag and drop to an empty area?

Yes, there’s a solution.
Select the events and select Edit>Render in Place>Render Settings. Make the following settings:

  1. select ‘Channel Settings’ in the Processing section
  2. tick ‘Mix Down to One Audio File’ in the File Location section
  3. enter a suitable name in the File Name Settings section.
  4. click on render

Done.

If it were me, I would command drag (Mac) these events manually to whatever tracks I want to keep their position as is, rather than render them, in order to keep their potential handles and provide flexibility if needed down the road.

I would do the same.

Indeed. It’s a dilemma but the OP has both options so could make a choice depending on the technical requirements. For film work, getting all the dialogue on one track, for example, might be an advantage.

For me the drag and drop thing might be better in that it would also keep whatever automation is on the audio file without changing the actual audio file.
Of course dragging all of them to the bottom of the file would create a bunch of new audio tracks but then I could manually consolidate.
I just thought perhaps there was a key command that could do just that what I am hoping for . To automatically put all the audio parts with their automation on a new track.
But the render command that stingray suggested does not have to render them as one file. you can render as separate parts to one track. But it does remove the automation.
Thanks so much for the suggestions peeps. Much appreciated.
