.Just thinking aloud here.. 🙂
The dials used for Gain and Pan in Podium are IMO (and as been noted elsewhere in another thread) are probably a bit too similar. Perfectly usable of course, but still too similar IMO.
Having used the zPitch, I thought the horizontal slider that was implemented there works soooo well and is so smooth in usage, so I thought well why not use that as a replacement for the panners used in the Mixer, at Track level and the Group panel?
But to save you all thinking how this might look 🙂 in the mixer or Group panel, I thought I would create two mock ups…
This first one shows the new panner idea (taken from the zPitch horizontal slider) in Podiums mixer. Of course the “R30” value reading is simply a rough guess I made at just how far on a percentage scale the pan would probably be, judging by the yellow graphic read out underneath it.
The Group panel mirrors the contents of hidden tracks in a track lane, but I noticed there is no panner (unless I missed it somehow) so I thought I might as well do a mock up of the zPitch horizontal panner idea in the Group Panel as well…
Again the “R45” value is just a rough guess as to the exact panning percentage value judging by the position of the yellow graphic representation under it.
Thoughts? 😉
