Working with audio when mutliclipping…
Two constants in my workflow are multiclips and sending out to be mixed. The audio I receive is usually recorded in a camera with a Lav and a Shotgun mic. However, I’ve noticed with both CS 6 and 5.5 only use the first audio channel shows up in a multicam clip. This creates issues for me when sending out an OMF (or AAF) to mix. Can anyone provide insight or a suitable work around for this issue, has me going nuts! Thanks!

I assume you strictly mean multicamera sequences and not simple audio/video merged clips.
When constructing a multicamera sequence, I lay out the cameras and audio as usual, I then unlink all camera video from camera audio, I select all the video and nest it, I convert the nested clip to multicam. I now have multicam video on top of totally independent normal audio. In most cases it’s better to mix the audio like this so all sources can be subtly mixed instead of relying on the multicam audio cut which is utterly frustrating and kind of useless if you have additional audio tracks beyond the number of cameras you have.
