    I have several takes. Video clips and audio clips separate but with matching code.
    I hi-light them and tell FCPX to synchronize. this gives me a new “synchronized ” clip.
    with the takes all laid out in order.
    All good.

    if I edit that into a cut, the cut references that “synchronized”clip.
    How do I track back to the original sound file?

    What exactly are you trying to do?

    You could “open in timeline” (right click the clip and choose Open in Timeline) which will open the clip with the separate elements in it’s own little timeline, and then match frame back to the audio in the Browser

    Does that help?

    Not quite sure what your asking but are you switching both audio and video when you’re cutting? Then set the primary audio in the angle editor and use the icons at the top of the multicam viewer to choose to just switch the video.

    Or is something else happening?

    Oh I see!! Yes this is exactly what I wanted to do. Get back to the original sound file.
    selecting the clip and choosing open in timeline, worked.

    thanks all! It was a sync clip not multi cam clip. I had several takes, video clips 1-6 and seperate audio clips 1-6. I used sync clips to make 1 stringout of the takes with the audio synched. edit that into the time line. at that point i was finding no way to track back to the original sound file, from the timeline. But right click the clip and open in timeline took me directly to the segment used and I could then match frame back to original sound file.
