how do i retain source audio file names when exporting ?

Resolve 15.3
When I export a timeline with multiple audio tracks (x 6 mono). All of the individual audio tracks (file names) are renamed to the same common name of the video clip . How do I keep the original audio file names (which are visible on the tracks when in edit mode) when I export ?

Thanks

Once you do a full render they become part of the video. If you want to keep the naming convention you have to render them seperately. Even then DR sill add's it's own naming to the name you specified, you'll need to rename them after they're created to whatever you want. Embedded audio will always take the name of the parent video.

You can also choose Output Track 1 to Timeline Track, Specify Track1, Click +, Repeat for 2, keep repeating until you have all 6. Then you will get your video and 6 audio tracks as long as you set your Audio track type to Wave. The 6 tracks will be named A1 some numbers video name, A2 some numbers video name, etc. If you're referring to a six channel master bus, just tick the box that says render one track per channel. Again making sure it's set for Wave. Same naming logic should apply. Rename them when done. If you pick an audio format that matches your video codec, it will get embedded.

On the deliver page in "File Name", just write %{clip name}.

If you have a wave file called dialogue.wav, another called ambient.wav, you will get 4 files named something like:
dialogue_A01_L.wav
dialogue_A01_R.wav
ambient_A02_L.wav
ambient_A02_R.wav
