Multitrack and Adaptive Audio

I'm a little new to Resolve and loving it so far, the editor is really smooth and has far more features than I expected, and am considering using it to replace Premiere completely in my post production workflow.

As the documentation both in the manual and on Lynda is a little thin on the audio, I wanted to verify if something was possible for adaptive tracks or compound clips with audio. I have access to a stock music library that provides separate audio tracks out for each instrument, which is great for control, but can totally clutter up a clean timeline adding 8+ tracks to manage. Is there a way to get these individual tracks on to a single adaptive track, and maintain control on each channel for keyframing levels? I tried making compound clip on an adaptive track, and inside having multiple tracks changed to mono/sterio, but that caused the waveform to disappear and only played the top track. I'm hoping to there is a way to do this without exporting a new file for each music selection. Anyone else have experience with this?

look into TRACK LAYERS. They used for Dubbing but you can show and hide then as you wish. I'm not an expert on this so take the time to investigate this topic yourself as I could be pointing you in the wrong direction. However Track Layers are a good place to start.

Hope this helps.
