“For music with split out layers Drums is first (top) layer, Bass is second layer, Rhythm guitar or other percussion on three, then keyboards then solo instruments on bottom. This is customary”
Apart from live shows where audio is mixed live I’ve never known anybody have to mix their music for a TV programme or film. Usually get provided with or select a mixed stereo track Done by somebody else.
Probably my misunderstanding. But certainly quite unusual sounding for me.

Both Sonicfire Pro and Digital Juice have music libraries where you can optionally split out the various instruments and sub groups for your own mixing; it’s great for the flexibility of creating an underscore where you want to mute some clashing lead instruments, it also allows for a lot of different mixes with the same theme adding variety to your bumpers.

Enough of your heretical Edius nonsense Dominic! 😉

I have never used X, but so far, no one has said the kinds of things I want to hear to make me think it’s worth investing my very limited time in. That may change. I HAVE spent thousands of hours sitting in front of Media Composer and Final Cut legacy, and honing my workflow to razor-sharp perfection in both. And if you had told me a few years ago that I would be loving Premiere, I would’ve said “You’re an idiot”.
All that to say that Adobe is absolutely killing it with what they are doing with Premiere right now. It is fast becoming the editor I always dreamed of. A fantastic amalgamation of everything I always missed about AVID, everything I loved about Final Cut, and everything that was already cool about Premiere. All of that combined with excellent hardware acceleration and totally mindless multiformat support. I know there’s a lot on the line for them right now, but they are blowing me away with their attention to the editing community. That is something that I’ve never been impressed with from Apple, and as for AVID, well, I won’t even comment. I still have to use AVID and even sometimes FCP 7, depending upon where I’m working and the nature of the program, but as far as I’m concerned, Premiere Pro is the wave of the present and near-future.

Why not download the free FCPX trial first and then ask some questions?
Posting from a position of total ignorance seems to be a waste of your time and everybody else’s

Funny, I’ve been hearing similar things from Avid editors lately. Can you tell me what you’re finding most compelling about Premiere? I always saw Avid as my escape route from Adobe if I needed one, what would I be missing if I did go that way?

I may be vain, but I’d like to think my ignorance is not total.
I was waiting for the demo of the new Mac Pro before I would consider staying with OSX, so trying out FCPX would have been premature.
For me anything less than a full month’s immersion with an NLE is not a fair way to test it, and I won’t have that time open till next spring, but until then I will continue to post my ignorant questions if it’s all right with you.
Just sayin’

So you have not even downloaded the free trial then?
Just substitute the amount of time you have spent reading and writing posts here for playing with the software before asking the questions.
Surely one month of testing will be a valuable experience – I may be mistaken but I think FCP 7 users get an extra month.
No brainer?

As ever, your “ignorant questions” are far more incisive and enlightening than a host of other contributions.
Just sayin’, as it were.
