[Malcolm Matusky] "I guess I'm looking for a workflow as John R previously suggested using nested projects, that works great, but I"m having issues with VP11 not bringing more than two tracks of audio through the trimmer."

Yea, nested tracks only support stereo so there is no way to do this with more than stereo audio.

[Malcolm Matusky] "Naturally I'm trying to avoid rendering all my clips with synched audio, to save time."

I don't believe there is any other way. You're only other option is to render the video with the new multi-track audio to a new file.

I bought an upgrade to Plural eyes 3, but it's not available yet for windows, but they give you v2 and dual eyes, which I just tried and it worked! I have been using pluraleyes, synching on the timeline and using 2 instances of VP9,10,11 to copy and paste my "clips" because VP was not able to break up the synched material on the timeline to create clips for my trim bins. John R. suggested "nested projects" which worked, but only with 2 tracks, I recently started to record 6 tracks of production audio with a Tascam DR-680 and want to cut with all 6 tracks, if possible.

Today I finally got around to trying out Dual Eyes and it did exactly what I have been trying to do since VP9. I was able to synch audio outside of VP and then import the synched clip to the media bin. Opened the media in the trimmer and selected a portion to make a sub clip, dropped the sub clip on the time line and there were 6 tracks! Amazing.

A new workflow for me using VP 11/12, why Sony cannot enable audio and video to be "linked" like the Avid or Premiere Pro from within the program ??? but now I have a reasonable work around for what I want to do.

How does Avid and Premiere "link" video and audio? What's different about Vegas Pro?

It seems that you want to join multiple audio/video tracks from different files in one virtual subclip. Vegas can't do that.

I found this is where "dual eyes" has paid off, I'm able to synch and link outside of VP12 and then actually have the 6 tracks of production audio be editable in the trimmer and be able to make sub-clips with the 6 tracks moving to the timeline, for me this was always an issue with VP, now it's not. Though one "caveat" only two tracks are visible at once in the trimmer, but you can choose which pair in a drop down box, nice feature, but what's better is that all the tracks end up on the timeline when clips are eventually placed there.
