zamrateJust downloaded the latest Podium yesterday to try out. So far I’m quite impressed, although I had a few crashes when doing drag’n’drop from Inspector Devices to Tracks.
I have created a new hardware definition for my Virus B: The MIDI comes from my M-Audio Delta1010LT card into the virus and the Virus B’s output goes back into Audio In 3/4. It all works for playing’n’sequencing.
I have 2 questions:
1) When I put a few MIDI notes into a sequence that is routed to the Virus B, I press play and record another track on Audio In 3/4 (= Out 1+2 of Virus B). Afer that I can see that the audio in the Audio Track is place too much on the left, as if it would come BEFORE the notes were even playing. Seems like the latency compensation does not work correctly in this case?
2) Is it possible to directly bounce my sequence, just as if the Virus B would be a VSTi (in that case one just presses B and everything’s perfect). (I would like to: Stop the sequencer. Position the transport to the start of the sequence, press B and it would play and record the Virus B just as easily as once offline bounces VSTi’s.)

I would be glad if you could find a way to reproduce those crashes. If it is a plugin you’re dragging onto a track, then it may be the plugin that crashes, in which case there is not much I can do. If it is not the plugin, then it should be an easy bug to fix, if you can tell me how to reproduce the bug.

If you use the normal audio input mappings to record, then Podium cannot know that this is the Virus, and thus it does not compensate for the Virus MIDI playback.
For the delay compensation to work, you need to have an audio mapping in the Virus device definition, that is linked to the Virus MIDI mapping using the device definition and global instance settings in the mapping properties dialog. If you are using your Virus as a monotimbral synth, then you can combine both MIDI and audio in the same mapping. That way your Virus will appear like any monotimbral VST instrument. Check out the AN1x definition to see how that works.

Yes, provided that you have set up your Virus as I mentioned above. Right-click the track where you have the Virus audio mapping, and select “bounce > enable realtime record bouncing”. Currently you have to go in and manually draw a sound event for the bounced sound. That will be fixed in one of the next Podium releases, so that this is done automatically when recording starts.
