I'm trying to edit a multi-cam clip but sound gets choppy when i switch angles.

I BELIEVE I MUTED THE SOUND FROM CAM 1 N 2 IN ORDER TO USE THE SOUND COMING FROM MY DIGITAL RECORDER, BUT EVERY TIME I SWITCH CAM ANGLES THE SOUND IS ALSO CHOPPED A BIT. ITS NOT SMOOTH. WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING? ALSO I DONT LIKE HOW IT ABRUPTLY SWITCHES FROM ONE ANGLE TO ANOTHER...JUST WONDER IF THERE IS A WAY TO TRANSITION SMOOTHLY INTO ANOTHER CAM ANGLE AND ALSO NOT AFFECT THE SOUND.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

SO FOR THE BIG LETTERS. I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL I FINISHED TYPING THIS.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

Are you cutting video and audio or just video. If you use the buttons at the top if the angle viewer you can set the multicam clip to cut video only leaving the selected audio untouched.

I believe I selected the correct options to only have audio from one device...but it does kinda sound like its coming from more. I placed the green zigzag icon over the primary sound and the blue camera strip alternating over the video that I wanted. I made some adjustments to the sound by raising the volume and some noise reduction. What really confuses me is that I see two kinda identical multicam editing screens at the top middle area. When I start to edit the right edit screen starts and the left remains dark but I selected the sound to have the same settings as the right edit screen. I'm almost compete with the project but this is just another obstacle I need to get past. The 1st one was with my computer loading things too slow. Which confused me and I would get impatient and start think it was frozen.

I didn't recognize what you're describing. You should be seeing something like this.

Why don't you post a screen shot of what you're seeing?

You have the angle viewer set to cut the audio. You don't want to cut the audio; you want to cut the video. Click the video button at the top of the angle viewer.

You have both the main viewer and the event viewer showing. Close the event viewer by going to Window->Hide Event Viewer
