Michael Wohl presentation on advanced Audio in FCPX

[Jeremy Garchow]

There is so much that is so good about X.

I just hope they can get the mechanics sorted out a bit better.

That’d sure make me happy. Audio is THE major bugaboo for me at this point. Well, and no auto-save or easy manual backup.
The video was an interesting look, and quite fair. The depth of filters is great, but the handling of multiple tracks is still so awkward. I liked seeing rolls in action, though. I also liked the way he summed the presentation up:

Its not identical to working in a proper audio system but it does provide a little of the control were used to.

I’d say that’s a pretty fair analysis.

Michael is a great presenter and it is a nice overview.

Always missing for me though is the biggest advance: Sample level audio editing all the time.

Being restricted to 1 frame at a time was always a big problem, specially once you done some editing in an DAW and saw how much more control you have there. Being able to this now inside the NLE is god send. All the plugins are nice but I leave that to the sound guys as most of them I do not understand anyway 🙂

subframe A subframe has 1/80 the duration of a video frame and is thus a more precise unit of reference when editing audio at the sample level.

While not entirely new to FCPX, I found this an eye opening tutorial. There is a lot of power hidden in FCPX, if you know where to look.
