Multiple audio tracks?

I’m using Vegas Pro 14, still learning everything I need to advance making videos. My question is how do people get there videos audio to be separate? Example, watched a game highlight where as he was playing you can hear he was talking on Discord. His friend said a curse word but it was bleeped without game or his own mic getting cut out. Did he have 3 separate audio tracks, mic/game/discord? Would audacity be able to do this? Sorry for the possibly dumb question. I usually get recorded highlights through nvidia GeForce overlay if that helps. https://19216801.onl/

There are actually two ways (or more). A temporary way is too click the "Ignore event grouping" icon in the toolbar (keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+ U). This will suspend grouping on all files. A more permanent way to ungroup events", Select the events you wish to ungroup, go to the "Edit" menu and choose "Groups> Remove from" (keyboard shortcut: U).
OTOH, To re-group or group two or more events, select the events you wish to group and choose "Edit> Groups> Create new" (keyboard shortcut: G).

i think this is the same on all versions of VP, though I only have VP-9 on the PC in front of me,

addendum, Another way is to render a new audio file "Tools> Render to new track" and preferably choose a PCM format. (typically, a 48kHz, 16 or 24 bit <.wav> file for video projects) There are other ways as well.
