One of my favourite aspects of Podium is the gapless engine. You can pretty much start playback and never need to stop before finishing a project.
Adding FX, instruments, importing new plugins e.t.c can all be done in real time so you never lose that idea in you head! 🙂
It’s also great that the track inspector has many track level features so it provides a good alternative to working on the track itself. Now that the buttons on the track inspector (BSMR) are the same colour as those on the tracks, it’s even easier to use and navigate. 😉
And the additional pop ups really help when you just need a quick reminder about something.
Don’t get me started on the superb zPEQ! 🙂
