Is Audio connected from original footage through subclips?

I started with an mpg containing interviews with several people. For each person, I created subclips from the source monitor. From each of those "main" subclips, I made subclips of portions of the interviews. Then I really noticed how bad the background noise was (caused by a very loud air conditioner).

I know I can't "edit in Audition" from the source monitor (because, to this day, it doesn't doesn't show waveforms which would be great for many reasons ... grr) so I went to the main subclip for each interviewee and edited those audio tracks in Audition. Then I noticed the subclips made from those main subclips still has the original audio unchanged.

Is there no way to have a "ripple" effect or something ... if I change the audio in the original (or closest I can get) and it will also update the subclips? Do I really have to go into each of these and edit the audio or, worse, just re-create all those subclips after editing the audio in the main ones?

    Subclips will behave as independent clips.  What you to do one won't affect others.

    So does this mean that if you are working on a large project using lower resolution footage, and create lots of subclips, and later want to "online" by bringing in higher resolution footage to replace the main clips, that the subclips won't follow? If that's the case, then how does one correctly do an offline - online workflow using subclips?

    I'm not sure I understand what you are asking.

    To see the audio waveform of a source clip in the source monitor, click on the audio waveform button:

    If you loaded a source clip into Audition, did work on it there, and then saved it - it would exist as a separate audio file - is that what you did? You would need to manually sync that file back to the video clip it originated from - and since your subclips were created from the  original clip (without the fixed audio) - they would stay connected to the original clip.

    Unless I am not understanding what you are doing.

    How do I "manually sync that file back to the video clip it originated from"? If I can open the clip and swap out the audio like I can a sequence, I don't know how. I thought Audition would change the audio in the clip, not create a new, separate file.
