Syncing Multiple audio sources to clip- how to bin these

I have 6 different audio sources that I want to merge to single clips and then bin them in the media pool.

How do I do this so that I can create something like a compound clip or Multicam clip with six audio channels, that can then be brought into the source monitor and from there the timeline with all the merged audio? a simple merge audio to video function from the timeline would be amazing.

Baffled here.

From chatgpt:

Ah — yes, you’ve hit one of DaVinci Resolve’s biggest compound clip limitations:

Compound Clips don’t always expose individual audio tracks properly when you drag them into new timelines — they appear as a single audio mix-down unless manually adjusted.
But you can absolutely retain and expose all six separate audio channels. Here's how to do it cleanly:

Issue is, premiere allows you to have subsequences brought into the timeline selecting "bring into new timelines"

Why can't compound clips allow you to edit the clip attributes and correctly map each channel of the compound clip to the footage. i.e. there are two tracks. Track A is channel 1, Track B is channel 2. When you do this, it brings in the same two mono tracks not different ones despite when flattening it, correctly retaining the information.

How do I do this...

Polywave.

Is there a way to create them within the software from the timeline level without exporting, that will allow multiple synced sources to be treated as a poly wav within the media pool? I'm not finding it.

Not that I know of. But there are free tools that can do the job for you.

Combine the separate audio files into one multi-channel .wav file for use in editing.

I had to do this with one of my own audio recorders which saved the stereo mic input and stereo board feed into two separate files. Not very efficient for post work.

Yeah, it's something that I feel like would be very useful internally in Resolve and wouldn't be a crazy software thing to program.
