Audio Components and Audio Enhancement and Audio Filters workflow?

Working on a two camera multicam shoot of a panel discussion with audience participation. The result is that I've checkerboarded the editing with audio components from the two cameras.

What I'd want to do is run each component through either the Loudness Audio Enhancement or through the Audio Compressor plugin.

Much to my chagrin there's no way to compound clip a single audio component type (Cam 1 Ch1) and, apparently, no way to command click such files to apply the same Enhancement. In the latter case as soon as one selects a second clip the Enhancement feature is no longer available.

I'm guessing my only options are to either Break Apart the Audio (Ugh) or apply the processing one clip at a time.

I'd love to hear of any other workarounds.

If you're using a multicam clip, shouldn't you apply Loudness in the multicam editor rather than in the project?

Please show me how to expand audio components in the multicam editor?
While I can see the audio components in the Audio Inspector and can certainly disable any one, I see no way to expand the audio components in the multicam editor itself, only in the project timeline after editing. Keep in mind I want to apply Loudness or a Compressor to an Audio Component, not an entire camera audio.

In other words, in the multcam editor I can only apply an Enhancement to all the audio attached to a camera, not individual Audio Components.

For example, Camera 2 Ch1 is the moderator. Camera 2 Ch2 is the audience mic. They need to processed separately. I don't see a way to do that in the multicam editor. I can do that in the edited project but only on a clip by clip bases.

Maybe copy and paste attributes will work for you.

That's assuming the settings that worked in one component are fine for the rest of that component. Ideally I'd like the Loudness Audio Enhancement analyze a specific component set.

I guess this is where we get into the feature requests for some kind of aux bussing. The unique issue with Audio Components is that, unlike audio generally, you can make an individual series of components (i.e. all Camera 2 Ch2) into a Compound Clip.

I brought this Audio Component issue up because, while I've seen post written about compound clipping the audio for processing and the feature requests for audio bussing at least, I haven't seen anyone talk about the specific issues around Audio Components because they can't even be Compound Clipped for processing.

I think I may need to formulate an elegantly written feature request.
