    • Introduced a new file-based track template system. This replaces the previous per-project template system. The templates are managed in the new “Track Templates” submenu of the track context menu. There are commands for saving the current effect track, the effect chain or the entire track or group track including automation tracks. The save template dialog has an option for including timeline events in the template. All saved track templates are available for recall in submenus: “New Track”, “Insert Effect Chain” and “Replace Effect Chain”.

    • Added support for drag-scrolling in the editors when dragging the mouse outside the display area. The scroll sensitivity can be adjusted with two new settings in the preferences dialog: “Drag scroll acceleration width around editor” and “Drag scroll maximum pixels per second”.

    • Added “Merge Project” command to the Project menu. The contents of the selected merge project file is imported into the current project. The merge project file is not modified. Imported arrangements are modified to use the device objects found in the current project. If the merge project contains device objects not found in the current project these are imported as well.

    • Moved all project template menu commands into a “Project Templates” submenu of the Project menu.

    • Added “Load Device Setup” submenu to the Project Templates submenu. This can be used to replace the device setup in the current project with the setup from a project template.

    • Added “Explore Templates Folder” and “Update Templates List” commands to the Project Templates submenu. These replace the old “Delete Template” submenu.

    • Added “Explore Projects Folder” command to the project menu.

    • If you organize your project and track template files in subfolders, Podium will show the files in submenus named after the folders.

    • Made minor changes to the track context menu. Moved some commands to the new Properties submenu. The names of currently assigned objects are appended to the label of the Input, Source, Preset and Parameter submenus.

    • The older track context menu used in the mixer and expanded mode arrangement editor has been replaced with the newer compact track menu.

    • Added “Track Template” submenu to the tracks region menu button below the last track.

    • The Podium 2.00 installer creates two new subfolders in the Library folder: “Project Templates” and “Track Templates”. The old “Templates” folder is no longer used so you should move any project templates you have saved with previous Podium versions to the new “Project Templates” folder.

    • The location of the project template and track template folders can be set in the preferences dialog.

    • A warning message appears when Podium starts up if some of the user configured folders could not be found. The preferences dialog is subsequently opened with the invalid folders highlighted.

    • Made minor changes to the drawing of track headers.

    • Fix: A change in release 1.99 had the side-effect that only one audio input mapping could be active.

    • Fix: VST plugins with several thousand parameters would mess up the track menu. The parameter submenu is now limited to show max 5000 parameters.

    Frits, can you explain source to me? When I right click on a track, with no fx, auto, etc I see source and the choices are not something I understand. I see busses, instruments, Powercore, and Voxengo. None is a complete list.

    Thanks

    The Source submenu is what previously was labeled “Instrument/Return”. I changed it to the shorter “Source” because the mapping name is now appended to the submenu label.

    Frits, if I right click on a track, in expanded mode, and insert an fx it does not show up in mixer view. if i use the inspector and drag the fx to the track it does show up in the mixer.

    why is this?

    Hi all,

    Haven’t had much time to test and evaluate as we have a new addition to our family.

    What I have seen so far though is very impressive! Well done Frits, happy 2.00th birthday.

    You mean the “Insert Effect Track” submenu? I tried that here, and the track appears as expected in the mixer. The mixer strip is by default hidden though, so the effect track is stacked on top of the audio track.

    the mixer is not hidden when i drag an fx to a track……….

    thanks

    Frits, do i have to do this one track at a time (right click on track, uncheck hide mixer strip)? or is there a single place to change this default?

    thanks

    There is no place to modify this behaviour. All new effect tracks are by default created with a hidden mixer strip. This is also the case when you drag an effect mapping onto a track. How did you manage to create an effect track with a visible mixer strip by dragging the object?

    Why do you want to show the strip for each effect?

    frits, if i open the inspector, chose zynewave eq, and drag it to a guitar track it will show up in the mixer as a track before the guitar track.

    i have enough screen space that i prefer to see the fx track with fx name before the track it is associated with.

    i can change the hide mixer strip one track at a time but maybe there should be a place to modify this behavior? if i leave it like it is i have no immediate visual of what the plug in is on the track. the small bar on the track itself does not let you know anything except there is an fx on it.

    or, are you saying you think each fx should have it’s own track? that will, however, take up quite a bit of screen space in the track arrangement view.

    Ok, I tried it again, and it will create a track with a visible mixer strip if you drop it on the left edge border. If you drop it on the center part of the track header it will create an effect track with a hidden mixer strip. That’s a bit incosistent, and something I’ll tidy up at some point. It’s been a while since I last used expanded mode.

    If the only reason you show the mixer strip is to see more of the effect name, isn’t the best solution for you an option to specify the width of the mixer strips? That way you’ll be able to see the full effect name even with the mixer strip hidden.

    yes. or any option that would allow me to look at a track and see the name of each fx on the track….in expanded mode.
