    when a track is zoomed using the slider at the bottom right, is there a chance that it could centre on the current play position? I realise that I can use the zoom tool too.. It’s just often, rather than much about changing tools, I quickly use the slider, and suddenly the bit I was looking at disappears off to the left! It’s not hugely important.. (maybe I should just get used to the tools!)

    Also, could there be an option for returning the playback position to it’s last stop position after a play? I would find this really useful when listening back to a part, overdubbing/mixing etc; instant recueing. It would be hepful to be able to turn it off.

    Neither of these are priority stuff, for instance I would far rather have default VST parameter editting for GUIless plugs, or any of the other things on the future list!

    Btw, thinking about VST parameters – when they are automatically generated when a plug is imported, they have their max and min both set to zero. Since a VST parameter will always be between 0 and 1, would it make sense to default to those?

    I really like the current changes – the MRU list is super!

    I’ll think about this.

    I’ll think about this too 🙂 A solution using existing functionality would be to place a marker at your desired stop point. Pressing the Q key would then move the play cursor back to the marker. You can do this while playing also.

    Btw, thinking about VST parameters – when they are automatically generated when a plug is imported, they have their max and min both set to zero. Since a VST parameter will always be between 0 and 1, would it make sense to default to those?

    The min and max settings are integers. When the range is set to 0..0 for a VST parameter, Podium will use the floating point precission of the parameter (All VST parameters are floats by default). If you know that a VST parameter is used to set a value in a fixed integer range, you can enter this range for the parameter, and e.g. the mixer sliders will show the integer value rather than the floating point value. If you set the range to 0 and 1, Podium will treat it as a on/off type parameter. Some of the VST parameters in the device definition files are defined this way.

    …light slowly dawns, sun filters through the curtains, throwing longs rays across the shadows… things that were hidden take on sharp images, contrast and depth are filled out as the brightness increases..

    Is that lyrics from one of your own songs? 😉
