I think you guys are still making the mistake of thinking they were consciously looking to “get rid” of anything.
There’s a difference between not wanting to do something and not having something done.
If FCPX had no expectations of a delivery date, they maybe they could have working on it for another 1 or 2 years before releasing it into the wild- integrating more and more of the features from Legacy. But someone made the call to ship something in June 2011. And, well… what happened happened.

Are you talking about the auto-enhancements? Cause yes, they have their limits. (though light room noise can be pretty much eliminated if you have a decent signal to noise ratio).
But the Logic Pro plugins are tops- but yes, any audio plugins applied across a multi-cam edit can create a bump.
For now, my solution is to compound clip the Multi-cam before applying effects. But it would be great not to have to.

The latest news, or late to the party…?

Nice to see some substantiation from some other business customers regarding pricing.

What exactly are you expecting? They’re not going to be doing a 180 degree turn on the software. This will be a measured, incremental improvement on the existing version.
It seems like database structure and media management are the two big foundational changes this time, if Alex4D’s code snoopings are correct (and I’m sure they are).

The “delay” may not have anything at all to do with 10.1’s stability.
Apple has seemingly decided to inexorably tie the release of FCPX and the new MacPro together (along with any other ProApps updates they may have up their sleeves). That being the case, it could all be on MacPro release issues, whether it’s component supply, getting stock out to different markets, or whether the MacPro need the 10.9.1 OS update that’s very close to release.

I can’t imagine a scenario where they release any later than next week. Apple tends to shut down pretty effectively over the holidays. As it is, next week is pushing it right to the edge for a software release- let alone the MacPro.

Yeah, you can use as many audio sources as you like.
One thing that definitely helps multi cam work better for syncing is labelling your audio channels in the “Camera Name” field of the Info tab of the inspector.
Label all your mics/cameras with specific names (Camera A, Camera B, Boom Mic, Lav, etc..), and it will keep all audio that has the same source name on the same angle of the multi cam.

This is the question a lot of people want answered, and it will be really interesting to see the results across the spectrum of configurations.
But one spec isn’t going to give you the best experience. Different parts of X have different hardware masters- GPU for Rendering, CPU for Exporting/Transcoding (sometimes), RAM for real-time performance.
If you can’t max the machine out, everyone will have to make choices about what’s important to them.
I’m really curious to see if there’s any substantive benefit between the 8-core and 12-core machines in FCPX tasks.

There’s LOADS of people for whom an iMac is a more than adequate editorial machine. I’ve felt myself hitting the way on this 2011 iMac (that I borrowed from my wife to fill the MacPro gap) more and more recently- so I’m very much looking forward to being back on team MacPro.
