proxy media and full resolution media must have matching audio channels

This issue must really be addressed soon... Modern workflows record proxies in-camera. Premiere must be able to attach two files, generated by the same camera, at the same time, right after shooting!
It's absurd not doing so just because the audio channels don't match!
PLEASE MAKE THIS A PRIORITY IN NEXT RELEASE!

the proxy-workflow is partly useless with this limitation which doesn't make any sense

Adobe please fix this, thanks

This is really annoying, please solve this issue, Adobe.

If this doesn't get fixed soon, I may have to change my main NLE away from premiere.

I shoot on a C300 Mark II which records four channels of audio. I don't know how to create a proxy with audio that matches this, so I'd love to be able to create a stereo proxy and still be able to use it in the PrPro proxy workflow. Or even separate out the audio from the proxy workflow entirely - say have a video proxy file that links to the video side, and a separate audio file that connects to the audio portion. Thanks!

One more vote. Audio: same as source.

insane that this is not available.

one more vote: Adobe, please fix this!

It's wild that such a massive platform cannot fix such a simple issue.

Another upvote for this. I have Prores QTs with 4 channel audio and have yet to successfully create proxies with 4 channel audio that Premiere recognizes correctly (usually it only links the first channel of audio), despite using custom ingest presets, Resolve, and a variety of codecs.
