Frits,
I know this may be a somewhat more complex suggestion, it harkens back to the SSL mixing consoles. On each SSL input channel, there was a Parametric EQ and a compressor built in to each input channel. I realize that much of the compression tasks can be handled by drawing volume envelopes for the track, but in order to use EQ you must run an instance of an EQ VST plug-in for each track. To me, EQs and compressors are essential for every track I record and mix. I use EQ when I cut my tracks (generally my mixing consoles EQ) and when I mix my tracks (generally an EQ VST plug-in that is run in Podium).
How difficult is it to create a 4 or 5 band parametric Equalizer that that gets automatically added everytime a new track is created? Maybe even pop up a dialog box when you atempt to create a New track, that asks you if you would like an EQ added to the track. Or, similar to the way you did Bounce Tracks, by allowing the user to add an EQ after the track is created.
I know you don’t want to get into creating a suite of VST plug-ins, but an EQ is such an essential component, especially during the mixdown process. Having to add separate, EQ plug-ins for every channel gets tedious. This feature would add so much to Podium’s functionality!
