Thanks for the reply, Dave. Actually, that’s what I ended up doing, and I was able to create a relatively smooth process. In case others are interested, here’s the process in more detail:

1) I have about 15 separate scenes that are all pre-comp

2) At the top-level I added makers to the voice-over audio where each of the 15 scenes should start

3) After all the markers are down, I copied, pasted the audio track to all scenes.

4) Of course the audio track is much longer than each scene. I temporarily made the pre-comp the same length as the entire audio. Then I shifted the audio so the respective marker matched the start of the scene. Then I reverted back to the original pre-comp length.

5) I can now play the audio local. Because of the markers, it is exactly matched up with the top-level audio. I turn off the pre-comp audio when I’m done working on the individual piece.

I’m still open to suggestions if anyone has some more insight.
