    Frits, would it be possible to change this behaviour?

    When I record several takes on one track, Podium always advances the last sequence. Wouldn’t it be better to have several events on one track, instead of only one? And is the whole place between the two recordings saved as wave file? I mean, there is no audio in between, and thus it shouldn’t take space on the hard drive. It would be great if audio events could be seperate.

    There are a couple of ways you can get around it. You can enable punch-in and set the punch-in start position to where you want the second sound event to start. Or you could double-click to manually create a sequence-event at the desired position. If you start recording where this event starts, then the previous event won’t be extended.

    But what is the reason for the auto extending? And will the part in between consume space on my hard drive?

    The reason to implement the auto extending was mainly to allow recording without having to manually create the events beforehand. However, I can see your point that if you stop and restart recording at a later time, perhaps the previous event should not be extended, but rather a new event created that will be auto-extended for the duration of the recording. Anyone else have opinions on this?

    And will the part in between consume space on my hard drive?

    Yes, if a single event covers a section with silence, then the silence is stored in the wave file.

    Exactly! That would be perfect.

    This is still annoying me.. Please Frits, could you change that in the following Releases? You are currently working on audio features so this should fit into your plan 🙂

    That sounds good to me 8). It would certainly help.

    I’ve put it on my notepad, so I’ll look at it when I’m done with the major audio stuff.

    Well, better late than never 😳

    As part of the new composite track feature, I’ve finally made the change discussed in this topic. Available in the upcoming 2.08 release.
