1. Current inspector fx’s thing. I still think that slot system with d&d support would be best solution. By d&d fx’s it would be fast & easy and you can call it modern feature too.

I don’t like static slots, they take too much space and are not as flexible as current ‘dynamic slots’ or how to call it.

Yes, we all know. You wrote it many times. So what?

2. Current mixer and how it handle plugins. Fx disorder. However, Frits has told he remake mixer after current update. Nice! At least i want to get rid of thos mixer up and down scroll cases.

For me, the current state of the mixer is absolutely wonderful. It shows all routings, effects on groups and individual tracks etc. all at once, still not waisting too much space. And, if you put too much effects on the track, then how would you want to get rid of those scrollbars?

3. Help us get our ideas fast out in podium and allow note strech on selection tool. PLEASE! One of the smalest request what is ever made. This little thing would make many your customers happy.

I support this one.

4. Swing. Man, every musician needs swings. I dont want to make music which sound 100% made on computer. Ableton or Studio one has good swing system. Take some inspiration there.

Swing would be useful, I think Frits already said that he will work on it after current UI update batches. No need to say it again and again.

5. I would call another modern feature here. Easy sidechain. Sidechain which take maxium 10 seconds to set up. Ableton has most easiest / fastest sidechain. Take inspiration there.

Well, this one. You keep asking for ‘easy sidechain’, no matter how many times this was answered to you. I’m able to set up sidechain in less than 10 seconds (not counting initial device setup, which has to be done only once per project). This means that Podium already has this feature. Many people already answered you with detailed answers, links to tutorials etc. Did you actually read those answers, those tutorials, links etc. ?

6. Totally new graphics. More modern. Softer edges. Not so blocky, you know. Studio one and ableton have good graphics.

I’m absolutely fine with current graphics. rounded graphics take more valuable space. This is DAW, not graphics gallery. If you love so much graphics of other program and depend on it, why not use that other program?

7. Relize that you can’t do all the things alone. You will need help. Find some one to make inbuild fx’s for podium. Or ask if you can add some freebies with Podium. Like Gol did with FL Studio. If i remember right those first fx’s are made by smartelectronix(?)

I don’t have any problems downloading free effects separately. What advantage would be bundling 3rd party effects with podium?

8. Remember you run business here. If your customers want something, you do it. Well, of course not everything but when preponderance wants same thing..

Remember that there are many customers. Every customer wants a lot of things. It is simply not feasible to fulfill every wish of every customer.

@Markus wrote:

9. Forget what you like and what you don’t like it. Between betas we can read something like this “i change my mind, i do it this and this”. “i change my mind again blaa blaa”..
What about users opinions? They use your product. You just develop it. Does it matter if you don’t like “fx slots thing”, when your customers do like it and they are happy? You know what happy customers means.

I disagree very strongly on this one. IMO Frits does wonderful job evaluating all requests/wishes and choosing proper way to implement it. This means that in most cases, the feature is implemented a bit differently than originally requested, but this make podium very *consistent*. Just filling in every wish would make it a huge pile of inconsistent and overlapping features, complex in interaction between crossing features, thus very hard to maintain and quickly becoming buggy.

10. Take this criticism in positive way. We all want to help you. Thats why we keep supporting you.

Still haven’t seen any other developer taking criticism in more positive way. Even your often rude, shouting and repeating remarks are always answered (at least if they contain something to answer).

The problem is not your english, the problem is your attitude, as others already mentioned.

Looking forward to what will come end of october regarding Scarlet & Epic… 😀

Their camera systems are game changers. Such a small company making such a big impact is exciting. Now whether I can afford one (camera and system) is a whole different story 🙂
