I use it mostly to cut the 4 hours track in clips a song long (or a 
medley). Right now I only use "normalize" as effect. I used to do more 
like on this (2011) clip:

but I'm aging and if I still use two or three cams to make the take, I 
rarely mix them (it's mostly as backup)

I know I can do this, but it's a lot of works. Asking kdenlive to make 
HD clips from the source on a decent machine (i7, 16Gb ram, ssd) takes 
around three time the gig time (and the gig is around 4 hours), only 
counting machine time :-(
