"You have to slice the bread before you butter it."

not necessarily, and as Grazie implied, you will end up with something different ;^)

Whoa! How many years have I been eating bread. That's phenemonal. It changes everything. Now I also understand the appeal of toasters.

I have fond memories of my Grandfather buttering the bread before he sliced it. For those of you not chronologically challenged like me, let me explain.
Back in the days when men were men and women were called ladies all we had to keep thing fresh was an icebox and margarine didn't really exist. So when you went to Butter the bread if you'd already sliced it all you did was rip a hole in it. The alternative was to warm the butter.
But back to Grazies discovery, this is one of the great features of Vegas! My Macolite friends look at me somewhat confused when I talk about FX chains, don't even know if FCP uses the same concept, if it does Apple need to do some serious user education.
Main area where you'll notice the difference is with audio.

Ya know, I've heard this before. Anyone got any strong examples I might try to begin to understand?

I hate having to clean the butter out of my toaster after getting the order worng!

You mean we're supposed to butter it before we eat it? Oh my!
