sam cview the mixer in a single window so that there can be 24 tracks viewed as 12 on top of 12?
Thanks!
thcilnnahojHmm, this doesn’t work well with the editor profile bar at the moment because the mixer resets its scroll position every time you switch profiles. Maybe Frits can do something about that. :-k
Until then, the other way is to do it with screensets:
1. Create a dual-mixer profile (there’s an example in the 2.20 release video on YouTube, from 0:50 onwards). Remember to uncheck “follow focus track” in both mixers to avoid resetting the scroll position.
2. Go to the Window menu and choose a different virtual screen. You can, for example, have your normal arrangement workspace on screen 1 (F9) and your new big mixer on screen 2 (F10).
3. At first, nothing will change after you switched to another virtual screen. Go to the Window menu again and choose “New project window.”
4. Now you can assign your mixer profile to the duplicate of your workspace that’s in this window. You probably want to full-screen it too.
5. You can switch between the two virtual screens with your keyboard’s function keys or through the Window menu.
The bad news is that you’ll have to redo a few of those steps every time you open Podium, as it seems the new project window doesn’t remember the profile you assigned it, or that it had been full-screened. Still, this is the best I can think of right now…
Just hang in there – maybe Frits or somebody else has a better answer! 🙂

Just tested this on my system, and I find that the editor profile and maximized state is correctly recalled for separate project windows?
thcilnnahojI was wondering about that – maybe it was just the beta’s not writing it into the setup file… After loading 2.22’s default setup, everything is indeed correctly remembered.
Still, I had some trouble getting the new project window to accept my testing profile. At first, it just ignored the profile I had assigned when I closed Podium (it skipped to the next one). Looks like it does that if the profile is missing either a timeline ruler region or a transport bar…?
sam cO.K. I watched the video….and it is not that I am incapable of following the steps but c’mon…this should be a mouse click or two!
O.K. so I did do it. How do I now remove the master from the top row?
Thank you!
thcilnnahojIt’s impossible to completely hide the master or return tracks, I’m afraid.
But you can undock them so they’re not always in view. Open the editor profile properties for your dual-mixer profile, select whichever mixer region and open the properties dialog. On the right side set the master to “no docking.”

In the old days I thought I could…and maybe I could. But yes, I see the commands you are referring to.
Thanks again!

Ah, yes. Removing either the timeline or the transport bar will make Podium look for the next compatible profile with timeline and transport. I’ve now fixed this so that it keeps the last selected profile no matter what.
