Multitrack workflow for a DSLR shoot

[sunnysound]

Hi all,
had a call about doing location sound for a music based documentary being shot on Canon 5D DSLR. The workflow so far with interviews has been to record dual system (2 track) with a guide track to the camera and sync sound in FCP using Pluraleyes - one-man-band Director / DOP / Editor is comfortable with that and it works a treat.
The next sequences are an ensemble in performance and we'd like to multi-track them using Boom Recorder, but I can't find any specific information on how Pluraleyes would cope with multiple tracks (assuming track 1 is a guide mix that corresponds with the guide track sent to the camera). It's a small budget project that I suspect will not get separate audio post - I'll probably end up mixing the performance sections only and giving them back to the editor. Oh - it's most likely a multi-DSLR shoot, too.
Can the FCP / Pluraleyes combo sync up such a multitrack location recording and OMF export the individual tracks in sync to be mixed after the Editor cuts to the guide track (8 tracks, say), or do I need to look at a timecode based workflow, giving the editor ONLY the guide track that matches that on the camera, then conforming the iso tracks in audio post to the OMF of the cut guide track in the normal ProTools way?

Of course we'll have to deal with the clock drift, but the song sequences should be short enough to get away with it.

Anyone done a similar project?

cheers, sunnysound

What follows relates to 2 or more dslrs, a 2-trk audio dual system, 2 or more mono audio tracks and each camera's mono audio track. Vegas pro 8 and plural Eyes. WinXP-SP3 on C: drive, dual Core, 2gigsRAM, audio/video files on E: drive (32Mcache/7200rpm).

I have done two 90 minute concerts with the demo version of PE and it has properly synched 6 x 20 min clips fixed wide shots, 45 clips Aroll and 35 clips Broll and the 2-trk and 2 or more mono audios. The camera clips were muted as soon as synch occurred. It takes about 1.3 times realtime during Analyze... but be patient, eventually it spits it out. Save the project raw and then work on a duplicate project file, in case you destroy the synch. Some say to discard the camera audio but you might need it to eyeball a slip-synch later, so I keep it but de-select it just prior to rendering.

Because of clock drift between the audio recorder and the wild cameras, you will need to tweak PE's results but not much.

You have to apply vid FX to each clip after you create the multi-view lane.

I'm sure you have a way to send a 2-trk out while BR is capturing multi-track. Can you send a wireless mono fold-down to cameras with audio inputs? - it's not for listening pleasure, it's just for PE.

It works, good luck
