How to preserve sound track metadata of Sound Devices recorder from Adobe Premiere pro to Pro tools while exporting an EDL

Trick to Export multitrack audio with 10 or 15 tracks from Adobe Premiere Pro, so that it can be imported to Pro tools preserving track metadata by recorders like Sound Devices Scorpio, 633 etc.

EDL has multiple advantages over OMF or AAF, the most important is that it preserves the track names. Track names are metadata which is embedded on the tracks by the audio recorder. This is fed on to the recorder while recording.

This information can be the mic details, say MKH 60, KMR 82 etc or the name of the person on whom it was miked say Ben John etc. This info is very important during the post production stage. This is very much useful during Sync sound recording, where multiple people are miked and the name of mic and person is required during the edit.
