AzureOk, tried Podium Demo 64-bit and I only got the plugins that were 64-bit available after the scanning process. That means, most of my plugins cannot be used in Podium Demo 64-bit…
AzureOK, well it seems that I may know more about the subject than what I thought I did. I’ve tried these same plugins in both Reaper 32-bit and 64-bit with no problem… Shall try Podium Demo 64 bit now.
AzureYep, they’re the ones. I’m on Windows 7 64-bit… Would that pose a problem?
AzureYou can still construct midi parts in Podium’s piano roll editor. There are so many free VSTi’s it seems a shame to go without. I understand you might not want to emphasize the electronic stuff, since you’re going for an acoustic sort of album, but occasionally having a few different sounds can add variety and really lift it. And it doesn’t have to be complicated.
You’re right about the “lifting” thing, thanks for the advice. I’d sure LIKE to, I guess I’ll have to read up a little bit on it, since I haven’t had anything to do with MIDI before.. Thanks a lot, guys for the help, by the way. =) 8) 🙂
AzureUh-huh.. =) How to assign groups? I think you just lit up a light bulb in my foggy head, there.. 😕 😯 💡
Computer sales here in the Philippines are a bit high compared to others, but I may be able to get one second-hand, thanks for the advice.. =)
😀
Sounds great, but don’t count too much on being able to make money. These days, I’m gigging professionally at the local level, but the money I make from it barely covers the costs. I’m happy just to come out ahead and not lose on the deal. It’s a tough market out there at the moment.
Yeah, you’re right – it’s getting tight. =) I’m just a “starting-out” musician myself, and haven’t made much money at all on it. Hopefully this will become a starting-point, if only but a point of inspiration.
I hope to release the album digitally as well as the normal, CD style.
🙂 I’m quite sure Podium will do the job for me..

Add to your consideration that the license gives you access to the V.I.P. Lounge for one year.
How about asking your parents to gift it to you on each birthday? That is, until proceeds from your record sales can cover it 😉
LOL 🙂 Will consider, levendis… =)
Azure8) Hopefully I’ll be able to claim the prize – seems to me that Podium “fits my foot” – Still gettin’ the hang of it… 😀 🙂
😆 Just finished a guitar cover for Michael Smith’s “Above All” – ..
See yah around – 🙄 I think this page has gotten broader than the topic listed.. Anyway, I’ll post again soon..
Blessings in Christ,
Azure
AzureOK goodie.. =)
Glad you liked it, had a lot of over-dubbing on it…
😉 Am trying a mix on Podium right now, I’ve got 2 tracks in so far.. Be back in a couple of hours..=) 😯 Thanks for your help, ‘The Telenator’..
Always appreciate having another voice…
Azure@ levendis:
🙂 I think you may be right that DAWs are really based on what YOU want to do – a relative thing at best. Podium really has been a great experience so far – it’s on right now. I’m hopeful to get something out soon that is really worth the program.. =) 😉
@ The Telenator:
Good advice on keeping up with the trend and knowing what’s going on. I hear of people that just want to put their heads in a hole in the ground (typical ostrich stance) as soon as they find something that “works good enough” (i.e., Windows 98, bikes vs motorcycles)..
Thanks a lot for the help guys.. I’ll try it soon.=)
AzureYeah, an acoustic amp model – LA30C..could only find it in Laney archives..=)
Azurehttp://db.tt/TcGvXIJt for the sample… =) Full song, actually, recorded about 3 months ago.. 8) 😕
BTW, I used to record through the line only – horrible.. I’ve tried a whole 1 minute mix in Podium, and after the learning curve, seems fine and easy to use –
🙄 I’ll probably buy the full version of it, as money comes in…=)
I don’t think I have the “phase” problem, though my amp IS across the room.. =) Electricity in this region is pretty unstable, as we have black-outs regularly, which makes UPS for PCs a must for anyone with brains..
AzureAkie goodie.. =) I’ll try to find a way to get one of those Alpha’s shipped over here – I have US roots.. 😆 I still am saving up money for a PC, since I still work on a Pentium IV, 1.2 GB RAM (DDR1), and IDE drives.. =)
I was thinking that lining out an amp wasn’t the way to go =), but this amp does have level control (what does it do?), unlike most that I have laid my eyes on..
What do you mean by “polarity circuit”, ground loops, and outlet boxes..? So sorry that I can’t relate, I’m still in the learning curve.. =)
Oh, and about the Laney by the way, I could send you a sample of me on it, if you’re interested..=)
Thanks for the dither bit, I’m now a bit more up-to-date; I don’t think that I’ve ever recorded in 24 bit, always has been in 16-bit.. Shall try..=)
😕
AzureHmmm. I though that it was a simple (and/or wrong) thing to do; but it has worked for past 1 & half years…
I have a not-any-more-supported Laney LA30c Acoustic Amp… It has a 1/4 line out jack, with which I put through my microphone jack in my soundcard (1/8..)…
Remember the Tascam PocketStudio (It was so big for its name that I still laugh about it now) that used Compact Flash to store recording data? I’ve been able to use it practically as an effects toy, having it in-between my guitar and my amp…
I’ll be getting those “dithers” now, bro.. Thanks a lot.. =)
Concerning audio interfaces… I probably won’t be recording anyone but myself for a while, but I’d like to keep the door open for another guitarist my age.. We plan to do something together one of these days..
How about the Lexicon Alpha? Would it suit me? =)
Seems to have decreased in price a good bit (60$ US)…
🙂 😈
AzureThe MIDI option sounds cool. =) Must Look Into Soon.=)
🙂 Don’t think I have one of those audio interface things – probably should get one, aye?! I’m kinda stuck with that one, though; the Philippines has been notoriously hard for getting such-like gear. Hopefully I’ll find some kind of solution out there.
=) Right now I have a guitar plugged into an amp, lined out to the back of a on-board sound card. =) Er, so, does that mean that it is being converted, or not? I’m not sure…
For noise reduction, I’ve always used a filter which samples the noise, and then removes it pretty thoroughly from the recording. Is there any kind of that functionality for Podium?
Also, with a “audio interface” – would I still need any kind of physical mixer? I really have no idea. Thanks a lot for your help.=)
AzureThanks, by the way, for your ready helpfulness and desire to help me along the way. I’ll keep what you said about the plugins in mind. =)
Right now I’m still wading deeper, seeing if I can record a whole album, and then produce it, from this DAW. =) Should be a fun dive>!
