# Detach Audio

> Split your content into separate audio and video channels.

Descript's Detach audio feature lets you edit a video’s audio track without creating breaks in the video Timeline.

* If you use detach audio on a video track from within the [Sequence Editor](/script-editing/sequence-editor), this will create two tracks in the [sequence](/script-editing/multi-track-sequences-overview): one for the video layer and another for the audio layer.
* If you use detach audio on a video layer in your composition's [Timeline](/timeline/timeline-overview), this will create a new sequence with two tracks: one for the video layer and another serving as the audio layer.

Edits can then be performed independently on each track without affecting the other.
