    [Charlie Austin] “I was actually referring to editing/mixing the actual music”

    Charlie,

    [Charlie Austin] “I rarely used it in FCP “classic”

    Charlie,

    To be clear, that was my suggestion …

    Well then, clearly we are both correct. 😉

    I get it, I just never liked it… faster to just stick to the timeline. Different strokes for different folks…

    I moved from 7 to x. It was hard to adjust to x at first but once i got the hang of it i realised how user friendly it was. I now use it all of the time and would highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking about jumping ship.

    Charlie,

    … to recap:

    [Charlie Austin] ” … because the only alternative is key framing which is a PITA.”

    [Franz Bieberkopf] “… try the mixer. It makes adjusting levels so intuitive and direct that you’ll forget you’re making keyframes.”

    [Charlie Austin] “I’ve tried the mixer… I rarely used it in FCP “classic”.”
    [Charlie Austin] “I just never liked it… faster to just stick to the timeline.”

    It’s a bit disingenuous to complain that you prefer your pain-in-the-ass method.

    Isn’t the general chorus here that you don’t complain if you’re “not using it properly” or some such? Yes, here it is:

    [Charlie Austin] “But saying something’s broken because it doesn’t work the way you want it to is… inaccurate. :-)”

    Franz.

    I’m not sure what you’re saying… All I’m saying is that I find that the audio tools in X work just fine. I find key framing and using a mixer to to be a PITA. I never said FCP 7 or Pr or anything was “broken”.

    hey charlie, come on – we just can’t comprehend this future microwave you’re wielding. It’s you know, beyond our ken.

    Charlie,

    I’m only saying that if you’d like a easier, faster, more responsive way to add keyframes, then that tool exists in FCP7. If you’re happy without it then you don’t need it of course, but calling keyframing audio levels in FCP7 a “pain-in-the-ass” ignores tools designed precisely to make such a thing easier.

    That was fun. So in a DAW, we can set the app to auto crossfade when two clips collide. Can X do that?
