Question

proxy media and full resolution media must have matching audio channels

I feel like you should be able to attach proxies to full resolution media based on video and not just audio - I have hours worth of proxies that a DIT made and the audio channels don't match the source files so I can't connect them.
I can do this the traditional way, working with proxies, until picture lock, unlinking and then re-linking to full resolution media, however I'd prefer to have both on hand in Premiere.

This should be one click easy peasy. We don't want to use Avid, but these kinds of things are so easy in that world. We shouldn't be constrained by these needless hurdles.

Proxies are supposed to save time, not add extra steps to make them work correctly.

Another vote: Please allow for proxies with single audio track to replace multi-track audio. If not it really renders the internal proxy-generation abilities of cameras useless in simplifying post workflow.

Please make this happen - this feels like an essential function for an app of Premieres caliber

I vote for this and I am very frustrated that Adobe continues to sit on their thumbs rather than take action to make this update. I'm personally getting sick of shelling out money to Adobe for reasons like this.

Having an integration with poly wav split audio would be helpful. But that's been here before, reiterating.

When creating proxies using the Quicktime ProRes Proxy settings for clips that I've purposely set to mono, Premiere always changes the first clip in the batch to adaptive. I have to detach the proxy for that clip, reset it to mono, and then re-attach the proxy. I imagine there's lots of people out there who use adaptive clips, but I for one have never found that setting useful. They seem to wreak havoc with proxies; proxy audio channels do not seem to match master clip audio channels when the adaptive settings are used.
