ACID and Vegas have a media browser that allows you to tag files on your hard drive.
I think you can rename tags and group files accordingly. Of course I have no idea how complex or simple an implementation it may be 😆 probably one for the future but it is a very useful process for managing audio files.
This makes it very easy to search for any files that have already been tagged. Dragging and dropping into tracks from this browser (List view?) would extend its use even further.
Perhaps starting with a more explorer like List View ?
– start with Computer instead having to search for a new folder each time we want to choose a file in another partition or drive
– allow to create folders and rename files (already on the ToDo list)
– a mini transport at the bottom to start / stop / seek playback with a volume slider
– an auto play and loop option
– the choice of the view type (list, icons, tree, details)
– sort by name, size etc…
– auto refresh
– why not the selection of the first output for auditionning ?

Yes. This would be much easier to navigate.

I think if you right click in the left sided browser in the List view you can already create a folder and as a result rename it.
Riight click > New Object > New folder The term New object might be a bit confusing for something that allows for New folder creation in the List view. 😐

Yes great ideas. At least a volume slider for previewing.
– an auto play and loop option
Yes. Sounds like an FR I am about to post 😉
– the choice of the view type (list, icons, tree, details)
Very good. I never even thought of those options. 😆
– sort by name, size etc…
– auto refresh
Yes.

I think I know what you mean but please explain… 😉
Double post sorry 😳

I think that it is only for creating folders and renaming files inside Podium’s browser, not on the drive.

Yes..
If you have an audio card with several outputs, you can choose to listen the file from the first one (outputs 1-2 in stereo), or the third one (outputs 3-4) etc.
Useful to hear them on other speakers or through external effects.

Yes you may be right although I have not tried that yet.

Ok…yes that is a very good idea. 🙂

It is not from me (it is in Reaper…), but it will be very useful for me in Podium !
