    I just added a few FX wvs to a project and decided I wanted to do some “tweaking” to a couple of them.
    For this puposes I use Edison in standalone mode (same when I am using Reaper) and was wondering if there could be a way to set up Podium to ask what wav editor to use when editing wavs.
    I know many people use other editors like waveasaur or whatever and thought it would be a nice option to have in order to not having to get out of the program to edit small audio files (reverse, blur, chop into grains, etc) šŸ˜‰

    I don’t have anything to add except that you can at least reverse stuff using Podium’s sound editor. šŸ˜‰

    This is the one thing i still don’t get about Podium: What can you do with the sound-editor? Could you explain in a nutshell?

    You can reverse the audio, put destructive fade in and outs, silence bits of the audio, insert silence and I think you can also delete portions of the audio.
    That’s about it I think.
    All of this, except for the reversing, can also be non-destructively achieved using the clip envelopes in the arrangement window.

    Having an option to open the audio in an external editor is the one absent feature I notice in podium every time I use it.

    Ah, now i get it. Won’t be using it much, because i prefer to edit non-destructively. To be able to open Wavosaur from within Podium would be great indeed.

    I agree. Wavosaur is a great speedy cut ’em up editor, one I prefer over the bigger shareware editors for simple editing. So, yes, just having a link to an outside editor is great, and if it’s not too hard, make it possible to drag audio files over into Podium, maybe have Podium auto-save the sounds or something? But hey, either way I’m fine and will continue to use both programs. Good day everyone-

    Can some of you describe the things you want to do in an external audio editor, which cannot be done in the Podium sound editor?

    * Use edisons denoiser
    * Timestretch a sample (I do this a lot as a sort of fx)
    * Change the gain of specific parts of a sample (could be done in the arrangement view with an automation curve, but sometimes I prefer to “fix” the source file)
    * Use edison’s convolution reverb / wavosaurs vst stack to create a reversed reverb fade in effect (can also be done using podium with bouncing and cloning, but the workflow is a lot more convoluted compared to just opening the wav in edison, at least for me)

    A lot of these wave editors (audition, soundforge) have quite a few nice offline effects that you might want to apply to a sample or offer good spectral editing which is nice for sound design.

    Ableton once removed the “edit” button from their clips, only to include it again in the next version.

    kyran, I also own Edison, and I’d like to know where do you learn to manage spectral view, any article or book? I’d like to learn that.

    btw, maybe a offline way to render vsts in the Podium sound editor could be what most people need. Personally I’ve enough with it, and barely I use Edison, except for noise removal and timestrech, which could be replaced with vsts, i guess.

    Honestly, I don’t use it. I can “read” it well enough to deduce which frequencies are present, so I can use my eq more efficient but that’s about it.
    It’s the reason I didn’t include it in my bullets (the ones in there are functions I actually use), but some people seem to like it šŸ™‚
