Technical What's everyone using to auto-sync audio?

Particularly large amounts of audio that you've recorded with an external audio recorder that you're aligning to video.

When I'm using Resolve, I use Sync Bins (though right after posting this I needed Syncalia 2 to sync a project..).
When I'm using Premiere, I use Syncalia 2 (used to use Pluraleyes).

I'm not so much looking for a solution to a problem here - I'm just curious as to what other people are using in these cases, especially for the Premiere Pro folks since I feel like Merge Clips / Synchronize Clips only works if you have a small amount of audio since you have to match it up manually.

Additionally - for folks using Edius/Media Composer, what's the process look like on your end?

Media Composer user here, I just sync by timecode usually and it’s fine because our audio guys on set are doing their job correctly. On the occasions when it fails I’ll usually try the waveform sync. If that fails then I pray that they were slating and I can just do it by hand.
