I'm told from the AE department that a group clip in Avid allows access to all the source clips audio but in the case of a multigroup there are only 16 tracks of audio allowed in a multigroup. Our shows routinely have 9 plus cameras rolling so they have to make some audio choices when creating the multigroups and usually the latest configuration is 1-4 camera audio toggle and 5-16 backup audio with overlapping tracks when they need to use all 24 tracks of the back up audio. It seems simple in premise but the details can become very intricate.
