I said 5 years ago bumped into a guy at the hospital. Said he was working on a new FCP that looked like iMovie on Steroids.
Posted it. Got slammed for a few years and forgot about it. Then poof. FCP-X. Would not be surprised. If they can fine tune orchestral samples like a combo of Symphobia and VSL like on the iPad that would be dope. Plus I read there is a new arranger program that takes your melody and arranges it for you. Like the pros do. Have seen many bang out melodies on piano, give it to arranger and go from there. Also heard new Mac pro 24 cores on 1 dye. So 24 and 48 here we come. HD should go way down. Things like Apollo and UAD may be needed for Lapps but not desk tops. Speaking of which, best books, videos for mixing/mastering waves. Like it better except a few plugs. Ala phat Boy, et-cetera.
Then 8 and 16 on iMacs. Why the 2.4.6.12, when for years, 2:4:8:16:32:64:128:256:512:1024, makes you think intel should go back to drawing board and focus on 16:32. My internets almost 10MB a second. Only a few more years where Mbox should handle unlimited tracks (another comment I made that while Avids subdivision was trying with maudio, that they would one day release an OS that would work on many
Daws. Increased track count. Ect. So logic x is the next logical state. This Mbox dude I know is a full time foley guy and uses an Mbox One and works on TV full time and I scored my 1st trailer using a $99 dollar sound card. So it all relevant to how well you know your daw and craft. That's why if you're just starting out that it's sometimes cool to get a daw that has a lot of books (although I'm a movie man myself) use logic/PT the most. I use to use NUENDO and while there is not a lot of teaching materials foothold for Ableton Live, it's a great program for sound design and while 99 % of us normally never have to open a getting started guide. It's always nice to know that you can watch someone explain how to properly use the spectrum analyzer and play before and after demos. WOW. WAY OFF TRACK. SORRY!!! I SAY YES SOMETHING SOPHISTICATED yet very easy to use is coming. I just hope they really focus on ease of use for any/many keyboards, and the samples.
