<p>I have a simple video with some background noises added and a background audio track.<br>
However, background audio track is too long, so I carefully cut it into multiple pieces and seamlessly mix:</p>

<p>It works fine, but my second audio part is now connected to the video on top — every next change in the timeline will break my carefully mixed audiotracks.<br>
I want it to be connected to the first <em>audio</em> part instead.<br>
Is it possible?</p>

# Final Cut Pro X — Connect audio clip to another audio (not video)

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-12)

I have a simple video with some background noises added and a background audio track.  
However, background audio track is too long, so I carefully cut it into multiple pieces and seamlessly mix:

It works fine, but my second audio part is now connected to the video on top — every next change in the timeline will break my carefully mixed audiotracks.  
I want it to be connected to the first *audio* part instead.  
Is it possible?
