Is there a way to do this in fewer moves?
It is actually a very common issue for me, getting an OMF from a video editor, which splits everything into mono tracks. It is tedious to have to apply the same effects to each channel, and any clip gain needs to be repeated even if they are grouped.
Perhaps when Audition acquires the ability to join clips in CS6.5, this will be one of the ways?
