Hi,
one of the things that I am not sure about is the pre-loading of VSTI’s and FX
I’m not sure what you mean with ‘pre-loading’. If you use the ‘quick setup’ in the wizard, then all your plugins will be scanned and they are configured within Podium using the various device objects. You can save this studio setup as a template project. Loading this template project will not ‘pre-load’ the plugins. The ‘map’ panel in the track inspector gives you the list of configured plugins that you can assign to tracks. A plugin is only loaded once it is assigned to a track, and if monitoring is activated. If you install new plugins after you have created your template project, you can redo the plugin scan in the wizard or import the specific plugins individually.
