I have a music track and a track with morse code tones.

I want to mix it in a way that the music track is only beeing heared during the morse code.

I allready tryed to Phase invert one track and then recombine, but that didnt work out so well.

Put a volume gate on the music and take the output from the Morse Code to its sidechain input. Then mute the Morse in your track. That should give you music only playing when there's signal coming from the Morse.

Edit: this basic technique can be used to do ALL KINDS of fun stuff. You know the dubstep wobble? Send an LFO (low-frequency oscillator, it basically just defines whatever wave you want) to the low-pass envelope filter's sidechain on your synth. What you're doing is:

  • taking the synth you want to modulate

  • making a sine wave on the LFO and playing with the frequency - quarter notes, triplets, whatever. You can automate this knob in your track in most DAWs.

  • telling the LFO to control a low-pass filter on the synth - everything below the filter's set frequency gets sent through to master, everything above it gets cut off. A high-pass filter does the opposite - it allows high frequencies through.

Now you play with LFO frequency to make fun wubwubs

What software are you using?
