Tracks in a Link Group are labeled to identify which track corresponds to which surround channel.
Working Separately with Multichannel Audio File Elements
If you’ve edited a multichannel audio clip onto a multichannel track, you can convert that track and its contents into a Link Group of mono tracks, each of which contains a single clip for that track’s channel. This can be useful if you need to fix a multi-channel surround audio clip with an incorrect track mapping. You can convert it into a Link Group, at which point you can easily rearrange the channels.
— Right-click the track header of a multichannel audio track, and choose Convert to Linked Group from the contextual menu. This automatically creates one new audio track for each channel, all of which are linked together. For example, converting a 5.1 audio track results in six new tracks with six individual audio clips (one for each channel), all of which are linked together.
If necessary, you can also unlink a linked group to turn it back into independent mono tracks.
1 Choose Fairlight > Link Group.
2 When the Link Group dialog appears, select the link group you want to unlink.
3 Click Unlink.
4 Close the Link Group window when you’re finished.
