really enjoyin' your vids!!! like the OP i'm a long time PT user and more than anythin' right now i'm really annoyed at the audio timeline placement bug in 8.0.4 on W7 and Avid's slow-pokin' at givin' users a fix. literally i cannot use 8.0.4 to track/record due to how it is placing the audio in the timeline. anyway, it's my first look at Samplitude. so just tryin' to get a feel for what the learnin' curve might be. again, thanks for the vids...helps me out tremendously!!! regards...m
