I went to "Clip Attributes" > "Audio">"Source Channel" Column>
I changed the "Embedded Channel 2" Source Channel to "Embedded Channel 1 and
clicked "OK". Now, Both Channels (R&L) are playing Channel 1 Source Channel Data,
which is what I wanted. However:

q1: I'm having what appears to be an audible phase issue; and I wanted to know if I could reverse
phase on the right or left channel. (VERY IMPORTANT!)

q2: Also, does Resolve simply play the "Embedded Channel 1" "Source Channel"
data in the "embedded Channel 2" "Channel in Track" (R), or does it duplicate the
Channel 1 source data, and insert it into the "Channel 2" Source Channel location and play a
copy of the Embedded Channel 1 data?

Note: I noticed that the Data (Timecode) recorded on the Right channel was never lost. I was
curious to know if there was new written data or is the software just using a pointer to play
Embedded Channel 1 data in the Right Channel.

Thank you in advance, Ric

I take it that the two embedded channels contain different data and you just want what's on track two to play L&R. Right click on the clip and select Clip Attributes. In Clip Attributes/Audio change Format to Mono, Tracks to Two, and click Add. This will create two mono channels below the stereo pair. You can delete the stereo pair by clicking on the bin icon next to them. Now when you drag the clip to the timeline it will create two mono channels. Mono audio channels will always play out of L&R unless you use the Pan control to pan either left or right. Whichever track you don't want either mute it or delete it.
All Resolve is doing is routing the audio it is not making copies. If you phase reversed one of the channels you will end up with cancellation of the audio.

Thank you for responding. I appreciate that you took the time to help.

Is there a way to control the L&R without panning? I feel like that is a very unsafe way to do it.
