    So my current solution to the above is to get all the audio in MXF form from the editor. However, the Channel Names do not come through correctly. Where the channel names were originally “Radio…”, “Boom…” etc. they are now “(A0)”,”(A1)” etc. I should add that the MXFs I have are all single channel files. MC took the original polys and made one mono file for each channel. So actually maybe it makes sense that there are no ‘Channel Names’ as such. But it seems there should be a way for this metadata to be passed on to PT from MC. Is it possible for MC to create multichannel MXFs for example, or rename the single channel MXFs using the Channel Names?

    Monophonic import has been buggy for several versions of software where one of the issues is not importing track metadata beyond Track 1. Every The latest version got better with using the BWF AMA plug-in but only later versions provided better support for monophonic. See my blog on this topic here:

    In my case I’m not talking about monophonic import. The issue is with poly BWAVs imported into MC. They then get turned into mono MXFs which fail to carry metadata over to Protools.
