Topic: Workflow suggestions

Hey Fritz,

I have some important suggestions to ease the music making process:

Vertical lines in note editor could do with being more apparant (can hardly see them).

Someone mentioned about the ‘select’ tool. I agree with him. It seems strange having both a select and re-arrange tool, when the re-arrange tool can do both. I often assume I can move a sequence/note, then realise I have the wrong tool selected. I know you can remove it from the main menu, but you can’t from the context menu, which I always use.

A tool box appearing, on right click (instead of context menu) would be a big plus as well. Pictures are more easily recognisable than reading text, and people do ALOT of tool swapping.

Ive always prefered hovering the mouse over either end of a sequence/note…waiting for the cursor to change to <-> and for me to re-size. Without me having to touch the keyboard.

I also tend to hold down ctrl, BEFORE dragging a note/sequence, to copy it. Clicking it…THEN holding ctrl is alien to me. (probally just me, i dunno). And when, the new copy is created, the original copy is still selected, which makes creating loads of notes on the fly a little awkward.

When resizing a note, (from the right side) and making it shorter, you cant see where is going to end.

Moving a group selected notes, results in a bounding box to move. Would be so nice to see a transparancy of each individual note instead :).

And the last thing is. selected a group of notes, then pressing a key to bound the loop points around this group would be sooooo useful. It would be one of my most used keys.

Thanks for reading. Im beginning to really love the speed and slickness of Podium. Ive used Cubase SL quite extensively…and in all seriousness…Podium is likely to replace it. Please keep up your wonderful work.

Regards,
Dan.
