"WORKFLOW" is so last decade...
Just like "Epic", "Fail", "Just sayin" and a score of other words and phrases that are starting to grate on one's nerves. I suggest we find a replacement in all further X1 threads for this tar-baby of a word. Just sayin........

Is it fair to say X1 has an ergonomically aware, paradigm shift of a user interface though?

It's true Workflow was the theme at NAB a few years back... now it's just a cluster shucks of different formats and tapes that don't fit in the other guys decks.
More work for me!

First, I'm not complaining here about X1 ( I could, but I'm not). Second, one man's "workflow" is another man's rats nest. Third, you can smell that sickly sweet but pretentious and precious odor of Jargon/Drivel emanating from your monitor's screen whenever it appears in a Thread title or post. Look Out!!! it screams...tedious and specious rationalization ahead!!!

+1 yorolpal! I here ya on that one. I hate corporate buzz words. A while back everyone was on the 'Edge' kick. Ford Edge Get an 'edge' in the market The company I used to work for got us all hand held parts scanning/dispatching/gps tracking devices called an 'Edge Device'. They even incorporated the word 'Edge' in to their company logo.

There's nothing like the days of editing with a razor blade and splicing tape. Don't forget to clean your splicing block now and then.

I hate the term. It really has no meaning. It has to be an individual thing. How I do something and how you may do something are simply the way we do our respective things. I am deeply indebted to you for bringing this up. Great post Ol Pal

Hmmm. So we need to say "the way I work" or "the steps that work for me" or --? what?--when we're referring to our workflow? I mean, maybe it gets tiresome to see the word used, but it Is actually descriptive, and not just a buzz word which needs to automatically be a warning that the person using it is being either pretentious or using drivel/jargon. I'M JUST SAYIN - Isn't it an EPIC FAIL to suggest we replace WORKFLOW with longer, possibly more awkward ways of referring to the way we work with a software program--?
Remember--I'm JUST SAYIN!

Good point. I sympathize with the point you make but we are creative people or we should be. We could try to be a little like Ol Pal in the way he uses the language or at least not use cliches so darn much.

But there are things that aren't done now because we don't do that kind of thing. I think of the things we'd talk about while rewinding or putting on another reel. We would take the time to discuss the music instead of just stopping and hitting record again.

hehe, well this is a very light weight subject, but that makes it a refreshing change of pace around here.
"At the end of the day" I appreciate being weary of seeing cliches used so often. Their common usage is an "epic fail" to be original.
But some words are simply the words to describe something - "Project"--are we tired of hearing people refer to their Sonar--um, pieces, um, things they do with the program - are we tired of hearing them making reference to their "project"--? Or are we tired of seeing the word "Sonar"--? Instead, we could say, "That audio/MIDI recording program we all use"--if we were crazy.
"Workflow," to me, isn't in the category of cliche phrases like "I'm just sayin'"--because it's just the word which describes how our--um,--how our work flows - Silly to resort to longer winded phrases when there's a specific word which suits what it means very well.
But like I said before , I'm just sayin!

I don't agree, sorry.
I mean, it's just getting too weird and sounds like "if it's not my way, then it doesn't belong". Blow through the stuff that doesn't work. The rude people should be blocked and mostly ignored.

In fact I'd go as far to suggest it ain't those that are frustratedly trying to express the real issues they are having, nor those that are making out just fine and reporting new revelations, making all the garbage noise up here. Nope it's all the petty arbiters and magistrates imposing how they'd reckon people should behave that make the most nonsensical noise.

I like MO. Using that instead of "workflow" probably will save me from carpal tunnel sydrome. In future versions, CW can advertise MO enhancements. Of course, I'm prejudiced, I live in KC,MO.

wow--some uptight responses on this, a not-very-serious thread, indicates how generally uptight the Forum still is over X1 I guess. But I still don't get why there are posts here talking angrily about rude people--? On this thread--?
MO - OK, I'll go with that - It's our MO we're talking about when we're referring to "how I work through a project" which was previously, more conveniently referred to as "workflow," the word which actually describes what we're doing. MO. OK!
