i used to be a cubase user back in the day. i dropped it mostly because i didnt enjoy the interface. but one thing i recall is that you could identify timecodes in your footage, set up a point at that corresponding timecode in the music, and then tweak cubase and adjust the music and everything so it would slow down/speed up or whatever was needed so certain musical articulations occurred just at that moment you desired.
now even though im not going to change progs just for that one feature, i was looking at the current version (sx 2 i think) and it didnt seem to mention this feature. at all. which bugs me, because that is an important feature for scoring videos.
but anyway, you get the idea now for the sort of feature i need (doesnt have to work just like the old cubase feature). the higher-end the better, im not really restricted by money (if it's a billion dollar app though then forget it
), and i guess it would help if there were some other arranging features.what i found when i looked around is lots of loop-based stuff. i dunno. i dont really use loops, my work is very dynamic and anyway typical movie music isnt loop based either, it just flows as the scene flows. but i guess if i can just jump my giant finished wav into the program and work at it in certain sections then i guess it doesnt matter if loops are there too. just another option if i ever go that way i guess.
i didnt see anything immediately useful, is all. im hoping there are some progs somewhere that may not have any sequencing abilities but can help me arrange my music and make it match up to certain points on-screen. beyond that, i have an audio editor and a sequencer already. but i guess it never hurts to have access to another tool... so plz, id like any suggestions for my little dilemma.
thx a lot - tom dini
