It's great that you love your job and show it in your videos, because we do (I hope everyone else is as into video production as I am since they are here) and your enthusiasm really inspires creativity, excitement, passion, and a dedication to learn all there is to know about this profession.

FCP 6 assumes that there are always two tracks because that's a standard audio set-up for shoots. During shooting, ideally, one of the audio channels is recording sound from the on-camera mic, and the other is recording a lavalier, or lapel mic. Check your audio waveforms to see if there is any audio on the second track that has 'no audio'. If you see a flat line, then you can lock the other track that has the sound on it, and then highlight and delete the track that has nothing on it. Then, you should be sure that the one track that has audio is pan centered (when the video is in your viewer window, click on the Stereo 1 and 2 tab and change the Pan from -1 to 0 to center the audio).

If there is only one audio input on the track, why does FCP separate the audio as two tracks: an A1 and A2?
