Premiere Pro Multicam synchronization kinda sucks...

Hi. My friend asked me to see into a case of Premiere Pro refusing to synchronize his recent shooting of a person playing the guitar and singing a song. There are 3 cameras - all the three recording the sound onto their built-in mics plus an external high-quality microphone pointed at the preson. The guy plays the accoustic guitar (the music audiowave) and sings (this makes the music plus vocals audiowave). Everything was shot in a studio so there are no external or parasitic noises. The task Premiere Pro should cope with - but it failed. So we tried to create a Multicamera sequense using ordinary settings and then experimenting with them and in all cases Premiere Pro gives a window with a "Could not synchronize all the clips" message and creates several multicam sequences the first three being some short part of the whole shooting but with synchronized 2-4 tracks (though all the three cameras were shooting almost all the time), and the last one being a mess of more than 30 tracks (see the screenshot)

Having struggled with the problem for around two hours I decided to try Plural Eyes 4 and it did the job perfectly. Without a scratch! And even faster! See the screenshot too - every single clip is layered as if it was done by a professional builder layering bricks. So what I am trying to say is that Premiere Pro built-in synchronization works fine only with simple 2-camera short footage with a clear sound, I suppose, but for anything television-like with multiple cameras it really sucks and really needs improvements. I'm not even speaking about the "user friendliness" of such a feature, where you cannot just select all the clips in your bin, hit "Sync" and get the result - you always have to make additional time-consuming actions and even then - as my example shows - it may not work. In Plural Eyes you import the footage as a whole, wait for the waveforms to build and hit Sync. That is all. Hope Premiere Pro will get to it one day.
