hi
i do hope you give some time to the hierarchical structure, because it makes Podium one of the most flexible DAWs ever. Really, only EnergyXT allows more flexibility, as far as DAWs. I can do things with Podium that i wouldn’t have dreamed of in the studio, and i can do it all inside the sequencer And if you do any work in surround / multichannel production, i can’t think of a program that is better suited.
It’s different, yes, but not just for the sake of being different, and certainly not just for hobbyists. It is different for very well thought out and practical reasons. The hardware mixing paradigm definitely has its place in virtual production, but there is so much more that can be done that it almost seems a waste to stick to it.
Anyway, this is just my hoping out loud that Frits won’t change it too much. But i am really excited to see where he will go with it too. ZGrid would be wonderful.
I also think it would pay dividends to experiment a bit and save templates of what works best for you.
cheers
