    (reminder)
    Please Frits, can you add an option to NOT play tracks that are muted ?
    It must not be too hard and time consuming to implement and will be greatly appreciated…
    Thanks.

    What is this issue? How can something that is muted play back?

    The audio files on muted tracks or audio events that are muted are always played (streamed) from disk.
    It uses unnecessary disk bandwidth and can be a big problem with multichannel files (for example), resulting in audio drop outs even if only a few files are wanted to play.
    I often use tracks to try different editings, and since Podium is unstable with long projects it makes it worst.
    A simple option in the Preferences would avoid this.
    More, Frits has said that he lets the muted files streaming to allow to unmute them without a delay, but there is a bug when you unmute tracks that makes all the automation envelopes ignored. So you have to stop and restart playing when you unmute tracks. It makes the streaming totally useless even in this case.

    Ah I see.

    Hm, I think I’d like not streaming option too, since I often mute tracks to regain performance.

    I’ve added a “Stream muted sounds for fast response to unmuting” option to the Preferences dialog. Coming up in release 1.99.

    Previously tracks muted by a a parent bounce track was not streaming, but normal muted audio tracks were streaming for fast response to mute/unmute. This new option now controls if streaming should occur for all muted sounds, both on normal audio tracks and bounced tracks.

    Thanks indeed. First I thought it was just a badly fragmented drive that was causing drop outs in multi track bounce scenario, which certainly was/is a factor, but good defrag together with this new option will allow bouncing of multi tracks without glitches.
