    Hello, in Podium 3.4, I opened a project from an older Podium version, then went to Setup – Plugin Database.

    I Reset database, then hit Scan. In the Device menu, I selected Load Plugin Database.

    The project still shows the old plugin menus. For example, I deleted a plugin from the plugin folder and it still shows.

    Is there a way to update the plugins within the project? There is no longer a rebuild button and the plugin database seems independent now instead of tied to the project?

    Thanks

    Ok it looks like with a project open, you go to File, then Close Arrangement Editor. Then you can access the project-specific plugin database.

    Hi dagabond. Each project still has its own plugin database embedded in the project file. The plugin database project was introduced in a Podium update with the intention of making it simpler to update your projects with changes to your plugin installations. Your description is the correct way to go about updating plugin setups in your projects.

    Hi, I was struggling with the same issue while demoing 3.4.2, so I’m glad to have found this thread. I have another question relating to the same project settings page:

    After closing the Arrangement Editor, we get to the page with the Content panel and Device panel. This lists the arrangements, sounds and audio/MIDI settings like MIDI configurations. But can I still switch to the old folder-like view, so we can ‘drill into’ these MIDI configurations to edit them?

    I doubt many users needed it, but it was really cool (I mean nerdy). I used to dive into the definitions to do things like rename MIDI CC labels, and to offset the MIDI note numbers used for polyphonic pressure note names, so that C0 corresponding to C0 on my keyboard – because transposing a MIDI track only affected note values, not the polyphonic pressure note assocations.

    Thanks, Nick.

    Hi Nick. You can access all the objects within a project via the Object Browser panel in the Browser page/window.

    its possible if you have unsaved bounced track (supposedly inactive bounced tracks) in the project you want to connect to the updated plugin database, that you might not be prompted to manage the Content and device pannels before opening that project. so if you do have bounced trax in a project unsaved, then name them and save them first by right clicking on the bounced track, then opening sound editor, sound, save sound as. It might be a good idea to renaming the project first too so you have second copy of it if anything goes wrong by going to; “project” and then “save as”. After you have saved the bounced tracks, then close arrangement editor and you will be promted with the manage the Content and device pannels, if you dont do this before saving then the program might not know youve finnished the projects content and can cause unwanted actions (forgive my poor formulation and grammar and spelling)
