Patching audio from the media browser straight to the timeline is dysfunctional?
I have P2 media (AVC Intra) with 4 tracks of audio. If I go ahead and set my target audio tracks then drag a clip from the media browser to the timeline Premiere ignores my target tracks and just adds all 4 tracks of audio.
Conversely if you put a clip in the source window first and then insert/overwrite then it works fine.
This is a pretty big deal because many editors like myself like to just dump all the clips in a timeline and then chop away rather than edit with JKL. Yes, I can dump them all in and then select and delete the unwanted tracks but this just seems counterintuitive unless of course I’m doing something wrong.
Is this the way it is or am I missing something?

I believe if your existing tracks on your timeline are stereo and the tracks from your footage are mono than premiere will create new mono tracks to accomodate your footage & vice versa.

You can “set” which tracks will be used in the Modify/Audio Channels on original clips in the Project bin. It works.

Erik – you are the man! This is a very elegant solution and am glad you pointed it out. Timeline editors rejoice!
