I can see your point that if you stop and restart recording at a later time, perhaps the previous event should not be extended, but rather a new event created that will be auto-extended for the duration of the recording.

That sounds good to me 8). It would certainly help.

The audio input/output mapping objects will not automatically adjust to changes in interface selection.

I was hoping you would not say that. I guess I knew that was the case but somehow hoped it was not. 🙁

I could add a menu command to the project page that will modify the audio mapping objects to the current interface selection.

A good idea…yes please. Otherwise the flip side is a huge amount of work updating large numbers of existing projects. Which is the rather time consuming problem I have now.

Something to do after time-stretching is implemented.

That’s fine Frits. At least you have suggested a solution and I know timestretching kind of has to be completed first as it has been put off for a variety of reasons before. So I look forward to the new menu command you suggested.

For the time being you’ll have to manually create new mapping objects for the additional channels in your Echo Audio Fire. All you need to edit in the mapping properties is the name and the starting channel number.

Ok. Until the menu command you suggested arrives I will have to manually sort it out. I will definitely try your suggestion. Thanks. 😉

Cool Frits! I’m glad you’ve been able to improve the algo, and I like the idea of a dry/wet control.

Yes, nice work Frits. 8)

I don’t intend to add more parameters to zPitch, so it won’t get beat-slicing functionality.

I think there are much more important features I would like to see first anyway in Podium, especially since I still have and use Live slice so I have no problem with that. Keeping the zPitch simple is a good idea IMO.

I read the topic you linked, and it seems that Liveslize uses a simple form of stretching on the decaying part of the individual drum hits.

Simple maybe, but still very effective.

The algo I use in zPitch is slightly more advanced/CPU demanding.

Well if it is really more advanced then that is very good news indeed. 8)

I’ve just finished creating a small native editor for zPitch:

Oooooh that does look nice.

Somehow you still manage to make even the most simple things look good. 8) I really like the way the zPitch has been integrated into the Track Inspector…just like it has always been there. It’s that level of integration that is one of the big draws of the zplugs.

Being such a capable designer as well as a developer really is a highly useful combination and Podium has certainly benefited from it in many ways. Your implementation of spline curves and the project start page are just two great examples. 😉 Nice work!

Isn’t Liveslice a beat slicer? That’s a different technique than time-stretching. I browsed the Liveslice info, but could not find indication that it supports stretch.

Yes it is a beat slicer but far more than that. It can rearrange the slices of any audio clip in real time while synced to host tempo plus many more creative options are on offer…

I browsed the Liveslice info, but could not find indication that it supports stretch

…and as for stretching, it does that too…you might want to read through this thread…

…the developer “ohm” adds his comments to some very interesting questions on the subject. Well worth a look Frits. 😉

This plug is a bit of a surprise package. I use Live slice and while the zPitch is obviously not on that level ( I doubt that is what you had in mind anyway) it does pitch shifting rather well.

Do you think zPitch is a useful plugin?

I could definitely use it *as is* no problem.

Is the time-stretching quality good enough to be integrated into Podium?

Good enough yes. There are better options out there but it is certainly capable.

It is not that bad on drums but depending on where you want to take this plugin you may want to have a look at some of the features Liveslice offers.

Of course it does not nearly have to be so featured but there are some nice ideas in here…

Cheers Frits!

Fixes are always important. 😉 The zPitch is not bad either 8)

That’s the goal. But the zReverb is not included with the demo version, so it’s really only zPEQ that can be used.

I did not know that. I am so used to using the full version of Podium, I wrongly assumed the zReverb would be included in the demo. 🙂

Maybe I’ll create a demo version of the zReverb plugin (with some parameters locked).

Nice idea.

I also would like to have zSynth before spending time on creating demo projects.

Yes I suppose that way you will then be able to showcase the zplugs with audio and midi. Makes good sense.

The 3 old demo projects are still included in the installer. You should find them in the “My DocumentsZynewave Podium Projects” folder.

Frits…might it not be a good idea to possibly have at least one demo project in Podium with just the existing zplugs?

No midi just audio to showcase what they can do. I think with the zReverb, zPEQ and now the Zpitch surely a simple audio only project would help showcase these plugs. Just a thought. 😉

What do you guys think??

Definitely yes. I totally agree with all of the suggestions you made. It is strange how you can need something but don’t think to ask for it. 😆

While there are other potential ways to get such functionality into Podium (sort of) a built in option in Podium would be fantastic.

Hi Frits,

I have just downloaded the plug…I will give you some feedback tomorrow with some comparisons. 😉

That’s why i’m wondering if it is possible for future versions to have an option/switch of reversing the signal flow?

I can’t remember which thread or threads 🙂 but this was discussed sometime ago, I think a search for “hierarchy” might help. 😉

I would guess that Frits is not 100% against at least considering your idea (I think it has been suggested before even), but I think he probably has other immeadiate priorities, once he is back we will know for sure if he will consider it or not. 😉

I can see why the right to left flow in the mixer strip could be problematic for some though.

Not a problem for me and of course most Podium users but I agree. I can see how this would at least initally could confuse.

Podium is quite different (in a good way) in some of the ways it offers to do certain things but I can see how a new user might ask “but why, what and how?” initially.
