If you want more than the 6 or 8 analogue ins then you can use multiplexors to increase the number (switch between a number of inputs so fast you don't notice). Faster bigger chips are also on the horizon with more analogue ins. If yo...

Is there any way to set midi control to transpose clips individually, not based on which one is selected- So cc1 would control transpose on one clip, while cc2 controls the transpose on a different clip - meanwhile I have highlighted a third clip and I am changing things in its parameters without tr...

It will depend where the bottleneck is in your system - if you are running loads of tracks and can't stream clips any faster off the hard drive then you will not get any more ttracks, but you will be able to add effects and routing. Of course with dual processors and altivec opptimisation this all b...

before you get it shipped check the size of express card slot - there is expresscard 54 and expresscard 34 (this is what there is on the macbook). I have only seen firewire cards for 54 - but companies are working on shrinking to 34
