confusadorok, that all makes sense. is there a thread somewhere about how to show the hidden track and draw the event to enable realtime bounce? is it possible once you’ve drawn the events for the realtime bounce recordings to save the whole setup as a track or track group template? i’m not sure about rendering offline with jamstix. i haven’t been able to get it to work as far as i can tell, but i’m clearly missing something here, so it may well be possible. thanks for the detailed response regarding the presentation of the multi-out instance of jamstix. i think this is related to the global/insert plugin architecture detailed in the manual yes? i did not fully grasp this scheme on first readthrough but i am still investigating. liking other aspects of podium very much.
confusadorif this helps at all, something i have done now causes podium to print all midi output on the “kick” track which is the first child track of “drums” and receives jamstix outputs 1+2 as well as creating a “foot controller” subtrack that looks like some kind of automation lane below it everytime i hit record. i still haven’t managed to record a lick of audio output from js though despite the fact that all the audio seems to be routed correctly. 😕
confusadorhi zynewave. thanks for the quick response. if i understand the difference correctly, i would like to bounce record in realtime. i have the option to enable recording of vst plugin midi output checked, but i can’t figure out how to select jamstix midi output as the record source for the top group track “drums” – it should also be monitoring all it’s child tracks of course – but it’s doing that currently. the parent group track is the only jamstix MIDI track in the sense that it’s the only track where i want to print the midi output of jamstix (at least until it eventually gets replaced by the final drum submix). i can always freeze a midi arrangement in js though, so what is more important to me right now is figuring out how to get the child tracks to record the audio they’re receiving from js four stereo outs.
also, i have a question about the way it presents the multi-out incarnation of jamstix as a separate instance on each child track. this is a little disconcerting as i’m used to the parent or folder track containing the vsti, and the child tracks just getting receives from it, whereas in podium it seems the vsti is not represented at all on the top group track where all it’s output is routed in the mixer, but is instead shown on each individual child track receiving it’s inputs. i think i can adjust to this presentation, but i would like to confirm that this is simply the graphical presentation of a single multi-out instance of jamstix? there are not actually four instances of js running simultaneously right?
