    I am backing up both of my main default projects as I develop them(“direct monitoring” and “mixdown”) as both .pod and .ini complete setups.

    Is this wise / necessary ?

    Also, the first browser tab (project object) is always “direct monitoring” even if I load up mixdown .ini or .pod file.

    Is this usual behaviour ?

    There should be no need to keep separate copies of the Podium.ini file. The project contents do not depend on the setup file (unless you have different MIDI/audio interface configurations in your two setup files).

    Also, the first browser tab (project object) is always “direct monitoring” even if I load up mixdown .ini or .pod file.

    The setup file stores the last loaded project, which will be loaded when Podium starts up. Loading the setup file while Podium is running has no effect on the project.

    OK – thanks.

    I still can’t get the “Direct Monitoring” to change to “Mixdown” on the project object tab though – even if I load Mixdown (which appears on the 2nd tab) and then reopen Podium.

    Or open the “mixdown” ini…

    EDIT: I’ve discovered why now – even though the .pod file is called “mixdown”, the Project Properties name is still set as “Direct Monitoring”…changed it now.
