Now Frits, what about that feature I asked for via mail quite some time ago? 🙂 You know people would love it… 🙂
Still thinking about it. There are some other things that need to be implemented first.
There usually are 🙂
You might want to bump this one up on the list a bit though (unless it’s already up in the highs ofcourse), I think it’s one of those features that actually would get a whole bunch of people to migrate to Podium. It’s a very “buzzy” thing to have.

I decided it was time to replace my aging development/music PC. I went for a Dell Dimension 9100 with one of the new Pentium D 2.8GHz dual core processors.
I hope you don’t me asking Frits but how much ram do you have running on your new dual core Pentium D?
I would certainly be looking for similar performance from Podium on a new DAW but would be very interested (I am sure others would as well) to know how much ram is needed to get a similar result with a similar 2.8GHZ Pentium D.
I assume you have 1GB , either way, please let us know how much ram you currently use in the new *Podium* Pentium D
Thanks 8)
Zynewavehow much ram do you have running on your new dual core Pentium D?
2 GB (4*512 blocks). My previous laptop had 512 MB, which was another reason why I needed a new PC. My recently purchased GPO plugin required at least 1 GB to fit in memory.

Thanks Frits. 😉
Just remembered… did you actually get Windowsx64 with your PC as well Frits, or was it Windows XP Professional / Home?
I think Dell were one of the first to get the 64bit OS it would be nice to know if they are now shipping it with their PC’s.
There are only two options on this page (under Microsoft Operating system) and the x64 version is not listed.
Maybe it works differently for different regions I assume you bought yours in Denmark?
No big deal as such, I just wanted to know if you have the x64 edition running on your Dell machine *pre installed*. 😉
If you do not have the x64 edition you may want to try this link out…it gives you 120 days to play around with the x64 edition. plenty of time to see how Podium will work on the x64 OS. Large download but worth it IMHO.

Zynewavedid you actually get Windowsx64 with your PC as well Frits, or was it Windows XP Professional / Home?
I’m using XP Pro (32-bit). x64 was not an option when I ordered mine.

Ok, thanks again. 😉
ZynewaveI’ve done some initial tests on a 3.0 GHz hyperthreading enabled system. While the extra CPU headroom varies more than on my dual-core system, I’ve still managed to get up to 70% extra CPU utilization with some arrangements. I was expecting something like 10-30%, so I’m amazed at how much you can gain with proper hyperthreading support 😯
Still need to sort out a few issues, but I expect to make a release the coming weekend.

Wow Frits, that’s quite something 😯 😀
My current system is 3.0 ghz with hyperthreading – eagerly looking forward to the next release…

Sounds good. Very good. 🙂
Any chance you will be able to test Podium on the 64bit Windows version at some point in future?
I ask because more and more of these dual core machines will ship with Windows 64 bit edition. I personally think it should work as normal, since initial tests from magazines suggest a high rate of problem free usage with 32bit applications within the 64 bit Windows OS.
Just interested in your thoughts about testing Podium on a Windows 64 bit OS once of course, Podium has mulitcore / dual core support fully implemented.
ZynewaveAny chance you will be able to test Podium on the 64bit Windows version at some point in future?
I don’t have any plans of installing 64bit Windows on my dual-core system yet. If users report problems with Podium running on 64bit XP, I’ll probably have to spend some time with it. As I understand it, you’ll need 64bit driver support for soundcards, before it can be used as a stable DAW.

Since my last post I was thinking the same thing. Using Podium on a 64 bit system could be as easy as installing it and hitting the Podium icon. Podium is very stable, so hopefully that will transfer over the the 64bit OS.
As for the drivers, M – Audio have 64 bit drivers, the M Audio 192 is advertised as having 64 bit drivers already for instance and I am sure many others will have to follow just to keep up. Without a doubt 64 bit audio drivers are definitely required.
FWIW I think your certainly taking Podium in the right direction. 😉
