Scott,
My whole objective,was to try and keep myself from bouncing around from one program to another,when I am working with video.Believe it or not,Acoustica Mixcraft 6 allows you to not only edit your videos,but you can also export the edited material. If only Acoustica would focus on a rewrite of the program to make it more stable and increase their production budget to do so,then they would really be onto something viable and I think people would be happier to pay a bit more for the improvements...but Acoustica's mission,has always seemed to be about keeping it as cheap as possible.
I concede,that it wasn't a good idea for me to assume that Sonar could function in the same manner in the area of video as Mixcraft...but then,your claim that it's highly probable that no DAW can export edited video,is also an assumption...when in fact,Mixcraft has this capability.
By the way,I do know my Reason,Presonus and Sony Vegas programs well enough...but that knowledge won't change the fact that I cannot do both audio & video editing in a single DAW successfully.
Perhaps there is no video editing/export functionality in Digital Performer either,but under no circumstances,did I ever plan on buying DP...because regardless of whatever DP's abilities may be,it not worth the expense.
So let me get this straight,according to you,it's okay for Mario to complain about the lackluster printing,MP3 conversion & for him to agree with my disappointment with Sonar's video limitations...but if I express any disappointment at all,it always a result of me spouting unsubstantiated rhetoric..because I don't have sufficient knowledge of anything I own? So in effect,I am a Sonar basher??Did I condemn Sonar & vow never to use it again?No,I did not.
You may be the reigning,consummate professional of this forum and most certainly a seasoned Cubase user & a top flight vocalist,but you fail to take into account,that as an instrumentalist more than anything else,I have different needs/wants than you do and with your income,you can go directly to the higher end gear/programs to get what you want..with little debate over it.
I think we're all in agreement here,that video editing is best left to video-specific software...however though,at no time,did I ever expect Sonar or any other program,to do everything that Sony Vegas Studio does..but rather,that I was expecting some basic video editing functions. Sonar has many video formats they support,according to their product sheet..but they don't specify which type of MPEG to use,so naturally,one would think that all MPEG levels would be supported. It's been my experience,that if a particular format isn't supported,it simple won't appear..but in the case of the MPEG 2,it does show some signs of being imported,but yet,it doesn't work.
Yeah...I have had Sonar for only a few days,but I spent weeks researching and since I've owned it,I've spent several hours with it for a few days and have viewed tutorials on it,but even still,I don't have the right to complain at all?
You don't play live,correct?How would you feel if I busted your chops,as to why you spent $3600 on a hardware keyboard,rather than just using that money to buy a midi controller keyboard and some software?
Yeah...I've spent a lot of money in the past on hardware keyboards,but most of them I got a lot of use out of them...but as I advanced in my recording skills and transitioned to software workstations,hardware(for the most part),became obsolete.
Since you've obviously lead a peerless life of exemplary behaviour & have consistently made the wisest product choices with your extraordinary foresight for what always suited you best,I guess I can't expect any understanding from you,for the masses if at times,need to take risks,in order to determine what gear works for them the most.
I'll admit,that I became too emotional over my integration issues between my Yamaha MOX6 & Cubase AI5...but then,you've never had to contend with either product,so you know very little of what I was dealing with. I suppose though,that will be something you will always hold over my head.
You are frustrated with me?Well...as it happens,I find your comments frustrating & at this point,I am very irritated with you and I really don't want your help,nor do I want to be chastised for anything I've said in this thread.
In fact,this thread has reached it's conclusion as far as I'm concerned,as I am not going to fence with you over anything,from this point onward. I have nothing more to say to you,so you go your way & I'll go mine & we'll just ignore one another,so please...keep your opinions to yourself,because I've had my fill of them.
In fact,if I have anything more to discuss with Mario,it will be via e-mail.
-Thom
