And yes, Ace, I understand the timeline. It is not that difficult to figure out;

No, not sheet music. Music theory is as it has been notated for more than an thousand years. I am not really sure what you are getting at about this.

Jeremy that does not address even in the simplest way what I was talking about. Come on. The synthesizer? Do you think these guys read different music? It’s a different tool to be sure. Does it change how music is notated and understood? No. If I hire a musician and he/she can’t read music then that game is over. Forgive me but what the hell are you talking about?

Well, as I have stated before – if not here then elsewhere – I find FCP X to be great for rough, broad strokes. I find it much more difficult to work with when demands become more precise. Admittedly this may just be my perspective but just consider if you were a musician in a symphony orchestra and one morning you came in to work and someone, completely arbitrarily, mandated that the conventions you had been used to all your life, the conventions that everyone else in your profession knows – conventions that in the case of music have been around for the last thousand years or so (and have worked fine during that period) all had different names and they all functioned a bit differently and – wait – some of them just didn’t work at all anymore and they never would. What would be your thoughts this?

The music analogy rings very true with me as well. Music and editing share that they are part organizational and mathematical, and part inspirational. Not eloquently stated but my phone is ringing.

I think it’s anger then denial followed by bargaining, depression and then, finally, acceptance.

I too am hanging around and if it becomes the best option for me in the future I will not hesitate to use it. Right now though it just has way too many question marks. There are things about it I really do like about it, though. Using it as a rough kind of scratch pad I find to be quick and easy. When things have to be more precise it becomes clunky to work with. For me anyway.
And I don’t know about you but I had to present an official nerd ID card in order to join CC.

I use Avid, FCP, Vegas and whatever else people will pay me for. All of those will communicate with other systems by some means and in a way that those other systems will understand. FCP X does not do this. I could be remembering wrong but Media 100 was capable of EDL export, wasn’t it?

But then the song writer will write a song that is (most of the time) all about looking back. Song lyrics do not a business strategy make.

And, by the way, “one day I might get a call”?! I get them almost weekly.
