Ah, the Final Cut sound edit...when nudging or trimming by a full frame is close enough
Call me a softie, but I feel for these kids coming out of the schools. They're given such a distorted view of the marketplace, that we have no choice but to knock them down a peg when they strut into our studios. These kids spend 2-4 years in school sitting behind large format consoles, and are told that they'll have no problem finding a job driving one of these monsters out in the real world. When in reality, any facility large enough to still be using and maintaining a console of that magnitude, isn't gonna let some noob anywhere near it. I've been a successful post mixer for 12 years, and I've never worked on a console. Schools need to get the priorities straight!
We once once hired some young kid right out of (insert recording school name here). While getting him acquainted with one of the consoles in one of our music mixing rooms, he states, "You really should get somebody to zero out all of these pots and faders, and clean the modules at the end of every session." Guess what, pal...
