[Brad Davis] "if you want that level of functionality you can buy it from someone else"
And if you don't want to have that level of functionality you're just the kind of editor that Apple has been aiming for all along.
Frankly I am astonished at how few of the posters on this forum (virtually none, apart from Michael Gissing that I know of) seem to have the slightest interest in getting their audio out of their NLE and into ProTools (or other pro-DAW of your choice) to be able to mix their final audio with the right tools, in the right room with the right monitoring.
Everything I do needs this kind of mixing and I don't have the option of not doing it this way. Think yourself lucky if for you this is just an unnecessary luxury that you can happily do without.
Unless and until Apple provide this functionality as a built-in feature that works with rock-solid reliability, FCPX will remain just an amusing toy for that apparently diminishing sector of the market that has to deliver high-end audio with their pictures.
