Is there a setting I missed to collect all audio files used in a project in the project’s folder?
No, currently that function doesn’t exist in Podium. I would like this implemented as it would be easier to share sample-heavy projects between users and workstations.
Here is a little info on sample management…
This is the ‘Project Start Page’ (please note the object highlighted in the ‘Contents – Arrangements, Sounds’ panel and it’s parent object – an arrangement called ‘pLINTH’). The object refers to an audio sample used in the arrangement and can be located anywhere on disk.
Double-click it and you’ll open the audio editor.
From the ‘File menu’ select ‘Save Sound As’ or ‘Export to Sound File’ and save the audio to your project folder (better still, create a subdirectory with the Arrangement name).
The object in the Contents panel will then link to your saved file. The bottom of the panel will display the object info.
Click the button I’ve circled….
…and you get the ‘Sound Properties’ dialogue.
This panel would be a good place for those ‘Save Sound As’ and ‘Export to Sound File’ commands too.
Please note that all bounced or recorded audio will be saved to a location reflecting the ‘project’>‘arrangement’>‘sound file.wav’ hierarchy.

I know that Podium does not currently offer timestretching. What VST or external program do people use when they need that functionality?
There are many granular synth/samplers. My favourite (and free) of these is Shortcircuit. I strongly recommend using v1.1.2 over 2v0.5.1.
With this VST you can time-stretch, pitch-shift, beat-slice, modulate filters…etc. etc.
I hope this helps. 🙂
