I usually create 4 dialog tracks for every show – then as many fx tracks as I need – usually at least 12 – then at least 2 music tracks for overlaps etc. You don’t need a track for every actor but you never want to cut dialog on just one track.

I believe there is a trial version of RX3 that is fully functional to play with. I always use the meters on every clip and get all my dialog within an acceptable range using volume control, normalize etc. Also if you have lab on one channel ad boom on another you’ll want to select the best channel for each take. Then I go back and de-noise all the bad stuff.
Make sure you’re using fade-in and outs to hide any abrupt cuts. You can also put in appropriate ambience for each scene and/or room tone to hide noise and changes between performers. I will sometimes use room tone, and stack 2 or more ambiences to fill out a scene.
Also – I find it easier to always use more than one track for dialog – that way you can overlap them to hide any noisy cuts.

If by “market” you mean the App Store – I’ll agree, FCPX is the best NLE available today on the App Store.

Have you tried 13 yet? Seems a bit faster and more stable. I’ve had a lot of crashes from version 10-12 on a variety of machines. Haven’t built a complex project yet with 13 but plan to soon…

Seriously though, speaking as a long-time Photoshop power-user and having watched a bunch of the tutorial videos, the app looks pretty great!
