Re: What are you thinking about CS6?

[Ken Pugh] "A method of writing track volume changes into clips would work, but this is no different to mixing clip volume directly. When do you ever need to mix the silence between the clips?
"
As I have already said, a combination of clip gain & EQ/ plugins and track & bus based mixing is ideal. I mix a broadcast doco in a day using that combination and at the same time I am creating a variety of deliverables like undipped stems, full mix and MDE. You just can't do that with a clip based mix.

So a combination is the most powerful and the important issue is that the trackbased automation can easily stick and move with clips. The ease of moving track based automation with a clip is the key.
