I don’t understand. Please elaborate.
I meant do I also need to drag out the red and green sliders or just the empty bounce track? Its because I wasn’t sure what they did – thought maybe they also defined the limits of the bounce.
aMUSEdYes drag scrolling is a step forward. Can you tell me if I want to make the bounce the same size as the midi track do I need to drag out the track and both selection sliders of just one of them? – I’m not sure what the red and green sliders are for.
aMUSEdtbh I still don’t really understand the function of the master track that bounces get rendered into. I don’t get why it’s always a fixed length and why it can’t automatically set itself to the same length as what I’ve just recorded. You’d think it would be obvious that if I’ve just recorded a midi track of a certain length that normally I would want to render it all unless I chose otherwise, and certainly wouldn’t want to render just some arbitrary chunk of it.
Also I don’t get why it’s so hard to change the length of it manually. Often it won’t drag out all the way on the first attempt – it only goes as far as the Window edge so you have to go to the scroolbar at the bottom and move the track along and then drag out a bit more of the master track – so fiddly. And grabbing the red and green selection bars or whatever they are at the top is even harder. I think you have to change tools for each of them and again they only go so far at a time and since one covers the other you have to do each in turn.
This whole aspect could be improved considerably with a bit more consideration of basic ergonomics – starting with the question – what does the user want to do?
aMUSEdThat will do fine thanks – its the insistent popping up that was annoying.
aMUSEdNot off topic at all – that’s exactly what I what in mind too.
aMUSEdIs there any chance of making this an option in future so when you rightclick and select bounce to track it can be done in realtime without having to arm various buttons and stuff?
thanks
aMUSEdYes I delete the text and its gone but then when I make a new project it creates a new one. I don’t want them at all – an easy way to turn this facility off would be best.
aMUSEdaMUSEdAh of course.
aMUSEdThanks – works nicely and the Ti VSTi looks made for the default skin 🙂
aMUSEdI found a new way to do this today. If you right click on the master track it gives you a render bounce track option without having to make an additional track – it just renders it in the space where the master track was (which I wasn’t using anyway as I don’t really know what the master track is for)
aMUSEdah I see now – when I added a bounce track it made this big track called Bounce at the bottom of the screen so my eye was drawn to that – I didn’t notice a smaller bounce track added above the main tracks – no wonder it confused me. Maybe this is about ergonomics – thinking how the new user interfaces with the app.

Thanks – what would I do if I wasn’t using the compact menu?
It worked but it would be better for me if there was an option to do this from the menu rather than having to know a keyboard shortcut which isn’t really very obvious – is there a menu command that does the same as ctrl B?
Right click the bounce track -> “Render Bounce Track”.
Strange – that was the first thing I tried and if I’d found that straight away I’d have had no problem – but all I get is a menu giving me a selection of tools (pencil etc) no matter where I click on that track.
aMUSEdps I’m finding the compact menu is motivating me to learn Podium now – before it just looked too daunting. However if there are too many options or commands are hidden away as shortcuts that makes it much harder to learn.
