Interesting xis23. I had no idea Podium could do this 😆
Yeah podium is a lifesaver! I don’t know how I’d have done this in any other host… even subtle things like the naming conventions for files when you clone them and being able to route things easily internally are a massive help, i.e between stage 2 and 3 i just use clones of the output of stage 2 as input for stage 3 (these are seperate arrangements in the same file)… oh and when I had to make the generators for blue and other synths I basically drew a load of prefab automation sequences and then switched these round in order both horizontally and vertically accross parameters by cloning and patterned them against each other to cover as many possibilities as was feasable…an intuitive symbiosis between the host and what I aim to do has really helped me generate my technique. Oh and the files I get from stage 1 i just rename to 1 through 32.wav, stick them in the right directory and reload podium so that in the generator it always knows to pick the right files too, so getting them in and out is really easy. I do my final processing in goldwave to normalise the files and autotrim them to control the size, and i also have to dither them to 16 bit as they take up hell of a lot of memory! Again having organised well named files makes it easier to process these. It really has made my life a lot more easy, especially with template tracks I am good to go right away.
I also started working on this: http://www.xis23.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/tnwpj.mp3 which is a lot cleaner orientaged but I hadn’t sampled everything I needed yet so some stuff is still synth based, and: http://www.xis23.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/bwah.mp3 which i am dead chuffed with the production on but stuck (obviously its a mess too atm)… I’ve given up both lol… not making it past a minute on anything yet because I’ve got a lot of work to do on my actual arrangement skills! Luckily I am working in a genre that no one gives a bugger about audio quality on so hope to make this my magic ticket.
