Better audio management for multicam sequence

We need a professionnal way to edit a multicam sequence into a target sequence with all the audio tracks included in the multicam sequence.

If my multicam sequence have 6 audio tracks, I have to copy them from the multicam sequence and paste them into the target sequence, and cut multicam image + these "unlinked" audio channels ...

We want to keep all the audios sources for the mixer or sound editor. But these "unlinked" audios can be a big source of problems during the cutting ... Some audios clips can be desynchronisated, crushed, erased ...

And impossible to make a simple "match frame" after that, to recover the 6 audios tracks ... I have to copy TC IN and TC OUT into the timeline, cut the 6 audios clips, et drag and drop into the target timeline ... Not very productive, and so suprising for a software like Premiere to don't have an easy way to nest 6 (or less or more) tracks with a multicam image ...

Thank's

YES! Currently trying to edit a doc with 70+ interviews, 4 tracks of audio on each. The setup is NOT intuitive at all and editing each sequence of audio is absolutely not an option. We need pure audio pass through for multicam sequences, 4 mono tracks nested should equal 4 mono tracks out, nothing else.

Despite much effort, I can find no combination of
source track - mono/stereo/adaptive ;

sequence mono/stereo/multichannel ;

sequence track mixer panning & routing;

sequence modify audio channel assignment

where I can put a 3 channel audio recording (boom,lav1,lav2) into a multicam sequence and have it then pass through as 3 tracks in my edited sequence.

Maybe there is a way - please do let me know if there is - in the mean time I have to edit flattened audio with multicam pictures.

Editing in the source sequence is cumbersome & cannot be predictably flattened for handover.

I find it best to edit the audio in the Source sequence rather than the Target sequence. This just works.
