Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I generally dedicate 8 tracks for production sound. I set these up as roughly as 1 - main 
shot, 2 med two shot, 3 CU, 4 CU. This usually covers the bases. Tracks 5-6 I use for fills 
and fades when I can't get a good clean cross-fade on a single track. Track seven is my 
X-track (the stuff I cut out) and track 8 is the work track from the video file itself or the 
long master file which I use as a sync reference. I split out this way because I find the eq 
needed for all the master shots in the scene tend to be the same or nearly the same. 
Likewise with the medium shots and close ups.

I've built a whole set of key commands using a Belkin Nostromo just for this type of work. 
If you are new to Logic you might try Soundtrack Pro. Its part of the Logic Pro 8 package. It 
runs a lot more like a video NLE and has a very focused tool set.

There is an excellent book on this topic called Dialog Editing for Motion Pictures by John 
Purcell from Focal Press

Good Luck!
