Agreed, very nice!
One thing is still missing in the track header. We can create now bounce tracks, effect tracks and we can map plugins to those tracks. What I’m still missing is to assign an input map in the track header. After assigning an input map in the mixer or inspector it is possible to change the input map but there is no way to add/change an input map when no input map was assigned before.
Swindus…apologies in advance if I have misunderstood your request 😉 but if you right click on your midi / audio input mapping and select the “Auto-Assign To Focus Track” command, does this not already provide a set and forget feature that negates the need for an input mapping command in the new track headers?
More experiments. This one I would really like your opinion about. Previously the entire track lane headers have been colorized with the track color. With the recent addition of the chain panel to the headers, I think it is becoming too overwhelming with the colors. Depending on the colors selected for the track, it can be difficult to distinguish lit BSMRX buttons and text. I’ve tried a layout where only the right edge of the track lane is colored, and the main header area is using the normal face color. This also makes it easier to distinguish the currently selected track:
Furthermore you may notice that I have added a spacing between track groups, making a clearer division between groups and parameter tracks.
Anyone still prefer the old colorized track headers? Otherwise they are going out.
Nice. I like it.
It is a delicate and pleasantly understated change that gives a classy look to Podium. A simple strip of colour I think works very well. The “Drums”, “1Freq (zPEQ)” and “Vocal” tracks interestingly can still be quickly identified even though there are no events that are visible (in the screen shot at least) on those tracks.
This is impressive because the “1Freq (zPEQ)” and “Vocal” tracks in particular are minimized, yet they can still be identified quickly with the new strips. The coloured track bands that stretch across the arranger (from a previous Podium update) work very well with the new slim strips to aid the easy identification of minimized tracks.

Another nice touch. Thanks.

Out with the old, in with the new IMO but…how does the Mixer look now? Are you making these changes there as well or leaving it as is? It might be better to offer a mix of the two colour processes, perhaps leaving the mixer as is.
I like seeing a fully coloured mixer strip in the mixer but I do prefer your new look track strips for track level viewing. 🙂
