AVID will charge you a Digi I/O box for thousands of dollars to digitize 8 channel audio.
I’m fine with 30 bucks.Have a nice weekend.

Digitizing up to 24 channels of audio in 24 bit plus H.264……
I think its great for 30 bucks.Greetings

A little point: I make my living from editing, compositing and stuff as well. Smaller jobs.
And it’s all payed. No debts – nothing. Couldn’t afford this with AVIDs.
The machines and software just works day for day for day.
I’m an AVID convert as well and people like Jerry or bogiesan will help you a lot in the beginning as they helped me.
There are bugs, things that don’t work as promised – but you can manage all of these flaws yourself (and with the help from forums) and you don’t need to become a system administrator.
Take a deep breath and go for it. You will not regret it.Greetings

I don’t use dissolves that exceed the clip-length anymore (centered or ending at cut).
Keyframes are buggy if you put a dissolve on top. Same for slowmotion / variable speed.
If you use dissolves that start on cut at the beginning and end on cut at the end of a clip it works okay.Greetings

Don’t know if I’m the only one. But trimming video with audio is a piece of cake compared to AVIDs.
It works for 3,4,5,6 times on an edit – and the 7th time it will play audio from somewhere out of the source clip. Not the audio you’re trimming: Something from in-between.
Makes me bite in my keyboard quite often.
Second big thing is staying in sync with your tracks. I’m still convinced (4 years FCP now) that AVID is waaay better in this respect.
These essential everyday – tasks require so many workarounds, clicks a.s.o. that I can edit way faster and more precise on an AVID than I can on FCP.
But I’ve worked on AVIDs for more than 10 years and am in year #4 on FCP.
So maybe I’m too old.Greetings
