Audio editing in FCPX

[Aindreas Gallagher]

well, OP did seem to be asking for an old style argument, and look – we’ve had one.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “You should really try using automated keyframing.

1. Hit play.
2. Listen and adjust fader.
“

Are you saying hitting play and adjusting a fader isn’t possible in fcpx, Franz?

There isn’t a mixer, but there are faders, or you can simply make adjustments on the audio in the timeline while it’s playing.

And, you can actually see, via the waveforms, where you might need to make some adjustments, so it’s not all lost and not all bad.

Jeremy,

No. I would have thought that was clear from what was written.

[Charlie Austin] “All due respect, since the demo is free, maybe you should try to learn how to use X as it was designed.”

Not my methodology. I’m one of those editors who can only work on one system at a time. Takes about a month of howling and two more of sobbing before I can get comfortable. That’s why I research all I can before I take the plunge – there is no NLE ever made that I don’t hate and loath for at least the first few weeks, so dabbling with a demo doesn’t work for me. I’m just switching to PPro Cloud now and if you think I’m critical of X, I’m positively effusive about it in comparison to my loathing of anything Adobe at this stage. Fortunately experience has taught me that this too shall pass and sometime by September I will have a more balanced view of it.

The reason I poke around at X is because i do find it intriguing. There is much I admire and envy in it’s capabilities, auditions and multicam being at the top of the list, but so much of it’s design philosophy goes totally against the grain for me that when I had to jump from Legacy I jumped elsewhere. Like a pretty girl with an ugly mind, you don’t want to take her to bed but it’s hard not to look.

lol… I get i.e., but to continue thaw analogy… She’s not at all as dumb as she appears. Try getting too know her. Just because she speaks another language doesn’t mean she’s not really smart. 🙂

Jeremy –

The only thing I need opened is the bottle of gin I bought to get me thru the next few weeks.

Don’t know if your a Philip K Dick fan but the original title of the story that Total Recall was based on is “We Can Remember It for You, Wholesale.” Blade Runner was based on the novel “Do Android’s Dream of Electric Sheep?” – Dick definitely had a way with titles. And the books were pretty good too. (that was a major understatement.)

[Eric Santiago] “My main Avid editor will not let go and will die if Avid fizzles out.
He vows to never learn another NLE (even though its the only one he knows) again.”

This is an almost unfathomable attitude. Obviously staff and not a freelancer.

…or well maybe say she’s got framed PHDs on the wall, but somehow can’t tie her own shoes at the same time.
Which i guess could happen to an editing hothouse child, home schooled in a closed box in cupertino..
