    Hello to the community!
    I’ve just started out with Podium and also have a big stack of free VST’s to get to grips with.
    I’d really appreciate a few answers to some questions ? I’m going through the manual slowly too.

    1.How to do Audio fade-ins/outs on clips, and cross-fades.
    2.Can you turn MIDI and audio clips into loops?
    3. Where’s the Horizontal Scrollbar?

    Once I get these I’ll be away on my own.
    Thanks in advance

    1) To fade in and out, you grab the top left and right handles on your audio clip and drag them. You can right-click on the fade-in/out to change the kind of fade you want.

    If that’s not good for you, you could also fade-in/out by using a automation lane set up for “level” (Right click on the track header to bring the menu up.)

    2) Yes. You can copy and paste audio and midi clips to make loops. By default, Podium will paste things as a copy. You can tell when something’s copy because it will have a + sign next to its name. You can use the handles in the bottom left and right of the clip to crop the sound non-destructively. You can also convert a copy to a unique clip from the menu when you right-click on the clip.

    3) There’s no horizontal scroll bar. You can scroll horizontally using the navigator panel, or by left-clicking on an empty space in the track window and dragging left or right.

    Aaand, I’m answering all your question because I’m procrastinating instead of writing music like I should be…

    Dammit. πŸ˜‰

    You can also select an audio clip and call up the Sound Event Properties dialog (Shift+Enter), for more detailed editing.

    Insert is the keyboard shortcut to create a phantom copy of selected audio/midi events at the next empty quantize point. Ctrl+Click drag events yields the same outcome. You can toggle between creating a phantom or unique copy of the event by tapping Ctrl while dragging πŸ™‚
