Hi John! I'd certainly advice you to do as much of the music work as possible outside Cinelerra. It'll be much more comfortable and stable approach. Render the dialogue/sfx tracks to wav (unless they already are in that format) and mix them with the music in Ardour for example. Then render out the final soundtrack (incl. music) and put it in Cinelerra as the only sound in your project. You don't really have to render your final video before that.
