How to separate multitrack WAV files *in media pool*

I imported an XML from a premiere user and the audio tracks in the timeline are the individual tracks from the WAV file and they are all silent. Ie HB1_004.WAV has many tracks and "HB1_004.WAV -Tr1" is in the timeline with no audio information at all, completely silent, but when I press F it snaps to the correct position in the correct clip in the media pool. Why would it be silent? Every track in the timeline appears with the correct corresponding suffix to its track but it cannot even conform lock with the clip from media pool. Also, as you can see, it doesn't list them as offline, they are just silent.

There might be many solutions, but what seems to be the easiest is to split for example HB1_004.WAV into its 5 individual tracks WITHIN the media pool, then it should recognize and conform without having to drag anything into the timeline. If it got to having to split the WAVs in the timeline I think I would end up just having to recreate the edit instead of use this import...

I've been dealing with very similar issues with an XML from Premiere. Perhaps we should compare notes.

Right now I'm having pretty good luck importing all the media into Resolve first, then setting up the tracks in the media pool, then importing. In this case I have the Premiere project and ended up using an edl rather than XML but the XML might have worked as well. The key for me so far was setting up the clips with my preferred track setup before importing the timeline.

Thanks Joe! Sorry for the late response.
So this seems like a good solution but it is in part what I was asking. What setup are you doing in the media pool? I couldn't find the option to separate the multitracks into their component tracks. I'd like to emulate whatever you're doing and see if I can get the same result

Hello,
I see two solutions:
– Duplicate the track and use "clip attribute" to select the proper sound track
– Use Sound Device "Wave Agent" to split the multitrack and obtain the right track content (my method)

I’ll give you the specifics of my workflow tomorrow but I’m wondering - what do you see when you open Clip Attributes on one of those silent clips in the timeline? Would you give us a screenshot of that?
