Hi folks,
First time here.
I just installed CM version of Podium and am investigating.
The first little ‘niggle’ that I have is…..with the metronome set up, can you set a ‘count in’ of, say 4 or 8 beats, like in most sequencers?
If so I can’t find it in the tutorials!
I think just being able to choose how many “clicks” before it starts would be sufficient, or possibly bars. It starts the metronome first when you hit play, the metronome plays for the specified amount of time or clicks and then recording and playback of the sequence starts on the 1st down beat after the specified time.
I don’t find count in all that useful. Even on products that have it I usually set the recording start to 1 bar sooner. That way I don’t cut off the 1st not if I start a fraction of a not sooner than I should. That’s what gives music feeling.
Also maybe the option of 2 different sounds? Normally you get a high tick or a sound similar to a 808 closed hat – it would be nice and also useful to offer a choice between a tick or hihat and also some type of kick sound.
Sometimes I feel like it was a kick drum sound it will be easier for me to record on the upbeat.
You could probably take both of these samples from the default setup of Drumatic (which is synthesized so no legal problems there).
