Issues with professional sound exports (aaf/ xml) after multicam editing

Hi !

I can't figure out how it's possible to get an easy smooth workflow of exporting the audio for sound post production, when you worked with multicam clips before.

First issue: The sound guy tells me that the order of the Audio tracks are not like it should be and switches even inside of one scene. Sometimes the boom track is an A1, sometimes on A5 etc. I now see, that a lot of my synced clips (synced via sync'n'link) have changed track order in comparison to the original audio tracks from the sound device.

So, as we can't split the multicam clips back into the original tracks, it's a big issue for all that follows on sound post. It's for a feature film, so it's not resolved that quickly I mean...

Second issue: The sound guy gets all the audio from the Multicam clips doubled because as we see in the inspector, the sound is always "doubled", even if the audio from the second camera is inactive, he gets so much more audio in his Protools as he needs. It's a big mess.

I'm really wondering why I can't find anything about it online.

I'm working with Final Cut X 12.0 and X2Pro5 5.0.44.

Does anyone know these problems?

Thank you!!
