Reply To: And this is how Podium dies…???

I don’t know. Used to hate MIDI. Got my first taste of it in the mid-’80s when things were still primitive and the hardware was limited and glitchy. Thanks to these DAWs, especially the way Podium handles my plugins and displays information, in the last few months I’m suddenly really liking MIDI and some of the cool sounds I can get. I find that I only need to interact with a few of the controller functions and even then, not very much. On guitar, we usually just turn it up as loud as people will let us get away with, get the best tone we can, and let it rip. I don’t envision myself ever composing and then trying to play the parts of some symphony or even a string quartet. But I’m getting some great sounds out of a few synths and instruments. Nucleum, right out of the box sounded great. The first setting, kinbalu or something, sounds fine and has a portamento on it that is a little different. I must have a thousands Synth1 presets now, and at least a third of them are worth recording. So, for me, coming into MIDI just recently, I’m busy and having fun with it. I’ve got Phrazor and REAPER as slaves or sub-hosts if I end up trying to do anything fancy. I’ve tested those setups and nothing has crashed. I got these DAWs so I could have my own recording studio. Having MIDI is the icing on the cake, especially since with my limited budget I can’t own a whole pile of instruments, and I only know how to play hack keyboards and bass guitar (of course).
