This is kind of refreshing because 1: You're not a complete beginner, and 2: You're already doing a bunch of the stuff we were going to recommend anyway. We warn you that when you post like this, Do Not Help Us! This needs to be a clean shoot with no effects, filters or processing. Nothing like tryi...

It's what allows us to easily boot and do production on external FireWire drives, a trick not available to USB until relatively recent...

Missed a step. Is there any advantage to stacking the clips one above the other and semi-automatically switching up or down? You would have to manage SOLO or MUTE and Focus. MUTE the current track.
