How to split audio in Sony Vegas?

Hello everyone, I had a question and I'm not sure if it is possible to do.

I recorded some game play footage and it also comes with gameplay audio as well as commentating audio, as in, microphone audio.

When I put it into sony vegas, I got the 1 video track and 1 audio track. This means that the commentating audio and gameplay audio are combined.

So, Is it possible to delete or hide the commentating audio and leave the gameplay audio in sony vegas?

Is that possible to do through sony vegas? https://9apps.ooo/

Sony Vegas - you must be using a very old version of Vegas Pro because the last Vegas Pro release from Sony some 6 years ago was version 13. See https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/sony-vegas-vs-vegas--119881/

Separating elements of the 1 audio track is not easy but can be done with a varying level of success. But you would need the 'un-mix stems' function in SpectraLayers Pro (from Steinberg) - the results are astounding particularly when the voice/vocal has a lot of presence in the original track. If the voice is 'murky' and not clear in the audio track, the results might not be so good. Others may know other less expensive products or even freeware that do a similar job.

I'm not a audio specialist - but I imagine that similarly difficult for how if I want to relieve the butter from a mixed cake dough.

It would be better that the microphone audio would be recorded on an extra device, then it can easily, where it fits, be used accordingly, or hidden.

I'm always wondering that game players buy a professional NLE for several hundreds of bucks to edit their gameplay and even don't know the correct name of that NLE.

Is the voice on the left and the rest on the right (or the other way around)? If yes:

If the gameplay sound and narration was premixed (combined) to one channel, separating the elements (unbake the cake) in most cases was impossible.

+1, SpectraLayers Pro.. It ain't 100% perfect like having the elements on separate tracks or channels and there can be some artifacts, depending on the source material. Other tran that, SLP's stem tools are freak'n amazing
