sam ctrack area?
this is another basic/standard in recording apps because it is so vital for so many things!
ZynewaveMouse clicking in the tracks area is used to select objects or (if not clicking on an object) starting a marquee selection of objects.
Click with the mouse on the timeline to move the play cursor.
sam cFrits, I know where to click I just think it is critical that you change it!
acousmodI think that the two behaviours are not contradictory.
We can single click in an empty area to move the play cursor, and the marquee selection occurs only when draging.
Perhaps that an option in the preferences could activate it or not ?
(I also prefer to click in the track area…)
RejectI have to admit, I dont see this as a problem really. The cursor per se is clearly marked with the arrow in the timeline. This makes it logical (in my mind) where to click to move it. The line across the track area indicates the position of the cursor mentioned.
Just my two cents…

Hi there, I read several posts of you and I learn from all. But I think there are many Podium users who bought Podium because of the workflow it HAS, plus the features that we will get in the future. I don’t think it is always a good point stating “this is implemented in all major hosts so you have to implement this” like you do in a few threads. The nice thing we have now is a bit of real variety to choose from in sequencer/daw/host-country…
Of course making things like this optional (if it was easy to implement for Frits) would please all 🙂 .

Of course…….

you do realize your quote is not my words?
my point is that some functions are so critical and universal that it becomes a standard in an application. all of us can work quicker if we can click anywhere in the track area and the cursor is there, then move the arrow and the cursor moves in increments that you have indicated, 16th notes for example. i can race through editing this way as could anybody because the funtions all remain in the same place on the GUI. Like it or not it is very logical and that is why almost very app functions this way. it is not a bad thing.
if you are working on extensive fine editing on 8 bars on the 14th track, so we are down towards the bottom of the track view, and you can click on the cursor or use arrow keys to make 9 fine edits i guarantee you i can move faster and work more effeciently if i do not have to bring my mouse to the top of the window in order to move my cursor. and then struggle with fine adjustments of 16ths and 32nds.
hopefully my sincere interest in a vital change is not taken as an insult. certainly it is not meant to be.
AYZI don’t comment much (ie. Never at all before now) but I have to say; it takes all of about two seconds to move up to the timeline, click where you want, and go back down. Is it really that much of a problem?

glad i brought you out of the woodwork.
if you have ever have to edit a live mic on 4 minutes of a vox track you will find splitting a track with an S, moving the play cursor with the arrow keys and mouse cursor in any finite increment and not having to click on the cut tool and top of the timeline repeatedly a very effecient thing.
since it is of no consequence to you, maybe an option to do so would be o.k. with you. that way, you don’t have to change…..nor do i.

That’s a good example. Trying to look at the bigger picture, would it not be the best solution to have a function that automatically cut out silent passages in a recording? I’m thinking a function similar to the Beat Slice, which has a dialog with various settings and a preview button. There would be settings for silence level threshold (dB), silence time threshold (ms), spike threshold (ms, to be able to cut out clicks in a silent passage) and fade-in/out time on the split events to get rid of clicks.

That sounds like the a “Remove silence” feature in Sonar and other applications. Very useful.

That would be very handy having that sort of functionality in Podium.

you’re quite right, sam c. I just read a bunch of your posts (and as I said, learned a lot about what is there and what is not yet in Podium) and posted my opinion, and of course this is a minor thing and I’m not the pope 😀 or whoever. I just tested some hosts (if I remember your name right you own one of them too 🙂 ) and just answered with what I thought after reading them all. I am in no way against implementing new good stuff, and you seem to know many things about what could be good. cheers!

i like that feature as well. but the ability to do it on your own is still important for many reasons. what if i am simply removing the vocal “ohh” in 12 spots along 8 measures.
thanks for listening!

thanks klemperer. i really believe the need for this is important. i have become diligent about editing out mic sounds, open amplifier sounds, and more. it can be very time consuming….even with the best tools. so, thanks for checking it out!
