I’m told that Apple applied for the roles-based audio mixing patent in 2011 and I suspect they were waiting for the patent to be granted before we had any chance of seeing it implemented, so let’s hope it’s been a secret project for a while and we see something of it soon.
It’s a powerful concept and how useful it will be in FCPX would depend greatly on the user interface we get to go with it. Give me roles-based effects busses and faders and I’d personally have little need for Logic or Audition.
My last “I wish FCPX had…” box would be ticked.
