If you agree with proposed, than support it. If you don't, just pass. Find something that you like. Being rude and mean wouldn't make you a professional.
My granny often said to me: if you don't have anything nice to say, just keep your mouth shut. And my granny was one hell of a wise woman.
I don't think I said anything that could be construed as rude or insulting, I'm sorry if you took that impression, I certainly didn't suggest you should keep your mouth shut, nor would I imagine your granny would too, because that wouldn't be nice, would it? I make no value judgement upon amateurs or professionals.
The point of feature requests is to put them out there and if there seems to be a popular clamour for them then BMD are more likely to listen - this doesn't seem to be. It is equally valid therefore that some may respond in the negative.
And here's the point I was trying to make about that: The free DVR is unique in being almost feature complete, unlike say Avid. BMD's target with that presumably is not for people doing their holiday videos who would never intend on buying anything from them, although they are very welcome, but beginners and students who may one day become professionals. And in using and getting used to DVR may one day graduate to buying Studio and hardware. The more of them that use it the more it becomes an industry standard.
Therefore features that may help the casual user will never be top of the list. The Adobe suite of products is used right across the board. They don't like to give anything away and many people use Photoshop, Premiere and Auditon non-professionally. The fact that they are used professionally and you have to pay for them via subscription does not mean you are using them professionally.
Fairlight is a fully featured daw for audio TV and Film post, like Nuendo or Pro Tools. It's a complex piece of software with a long history, used on laptops to full consoles. IMV Audio Remix would not be a useful feature for professional production, anymore than AI led automatic picture editing would be in Avid or DVR, these are marketing led gimmicks from the mobile consumer world. Auditon is not a widely used audio programme amongst post professionals.
