No, it currently can’t be done in a single drag operation. I intend to try to add support for this in the group panel.
That would be nice thanks. The group panel is getting a good deal of usage here. A right click option would be nice as well to set and forget as I would personally keep a drag and drop option like that active.

I feel that the pressure shouldn’t be on your shoulders alone but if you find that you have the time to make more then that’s wonderful! It’s just so easy to fall back on that first volunteer 😆
True. As Podianer has got the video ball rolling (after Frits), we should not expect too much from him alone. I tried to help out users with the drum map tutorial as drum map usage in any host is usually not given much coverage.
But more tutorials is something I have in mind to do soon.
What kind of software did you use? What format is it? If others make such videos I think making them in the same format would be good. No sound but that’s ok with me. Less filesize and all.
Yes I would like to know as well. 😉
Anyway, one suggestion for a video might be how to deal with VSTi’s in Podium. How to set them up, multitimbral or not. How to deal with presets and banks and all those alternatives in the preset panel. I know I’ve had problems with that. I thought I had it covered and then I realized that I didn’t know much at all!
A great suggestion Serendipity. That would also take off where the last video ended. VSTi usage would cover the other half of two key areas for any new users VST FX usage and VSTi usage. if you have more time on your hands Podianer, please consider Serendipitys suggestions as possibly your next project. 😉
Sends and returns might be another topic to cover.
Yes that is another good suggestion.
Your Getting started with Podium video was very good indeed. I am sure Frits would have long since updated his videos but he only has one pair of hands! 😆
Surely now that video will at least get a new user up an running with FX very quickly. I just think VSTi usage video tutorial should follow if possible.
My top 5…
1.VSTi usage (as Serendiptiy said…presets, banks, multitimbral usage) quite simply many people will be looking for answers here, as most people use VSTi’s and would immediately be interested to see how this is done in a video.
2.Using Podiums mixer.
a. Set up
b. Mixing
c. Monitoring
3. Automation
4. Track management
1. Creating new tracks (there is more than one way)
2. Creating group tracks
3. Bounce track usage (render and real time demonstration)
4. Hiding track lanes
5. Customizing the look and feel of Podium
Colours settings, buttons e.t.c
I will likely deal with all of these myself at some point if it would be too much for you. In any case I would like to know what software you used please.
It appears to work in a similar way to Camtasia or Autoscreen recorder. It also looks identical to the software Frits used which is good for consistency. But what did you use Podianer? 😉
Great work.

Perhaps another video showing a more thorough look on template tracks and its capabilities.. And another one showing how to setup sidechaining.
I think they will both be useful perhaps sidechaining more so as that appears to be a bit of a ‘buzz’ word at the moment for Sequencers.:wink: That would showcase the more advanced aspects of Podium.
What I cannot do, is a video for surround. I don’t have a clue how to do that 🙂 and I only have a stereo soundcard.
Perhaps if you can collaborate with our good friend Acousmod you might just be able to come up with a very good video. I think Acousmod comes across as an expert in surround and may be able to provide all the help you need and beyond. 😉 Worth asking him at least, I guess.
Thanks for you input. Please tell me your suggestions when they are less than 5! 😉
Will do 8) I’ll post them tomorrow. 😉
Nice work.
ConquistadorSome feedback…:wink:

The track inspector has a new group panel that shows the chain of tracks that the currently selected track is part of. Gain and send dials as well as the plugin “E” editor button is available for each track in the chain. The group panel can be shown/hidden with the “Show Group Panel” command in the track inspector menu.
a.This works very well indeed but I noticed that if I have the embedded mixer raised just a little, it can be a bit difficult to access other panels if the group panel is visible. Of course I can remove it but it would be nice if it could be resized by dragging the bottom of it just like the other panels.
b. Also if possible some sort of slider could appear in the group panel if the number of tracks that appeared in it were above a certain level.
c. I noticed that you have to select the upper half of a track on the group panel to select it. Would it be possible to extend the hit point (for clicking and selecting a track) to the whole track area in a group panel not just the top of it?
d. SMR buttons in the group panel. The group panel is such a good idea that it effectlively doubles up as a third mixing area within Podium.
Tracks
Track Inspector
Group Panel
While the Group panel does not have all the features the others have yet..the x button is one example (I think that is on the way based on comments elsewhere on the forum though) I think it is like a self contained mixing area but within the track inspector.
As a result I think it should have SMR buttons on the tracks to perfectly mirror those in the arranger, even though the inspector does indeed already have those buttons in the Track panel.
But it also has the E button that also appears in the group panel. So I think adding full mixing features found in the other two mixing areas in Podium is probably a good next step for the group panel.

Hi guys,
I just put an video tutorial into the wiki section. A short video dealing with the new fade functionality will follow soon.
Do you have any ideas what to show in further videos?
Perhaps new users will find videos more appealing than reading a manual. By the way, how do you like the video?
Max
Very well done IMO. The way you were cruising around the arranger should show new users how easy it can be to get going in Podium! Well done. 😉
As for other videos…I have many suggestions for that. I guess it would be a good idea to narrow my video suggestions down to no more than 5 😆
But seriously there are many areas. My first suggestion would be to tackle how a user can go from the initial project start page to actually accessing a VST or VSTi for the first time. This seems to be the biggest problem still with new users.
Good work though. Very good. 😉

I may add support for import/export of compressed formats in the future.
Thanks. It would be very useful. 😉
ConquistadorConquistadorFWIW I have used TC reverbs before and I defintely think that the zReverb is comparable in quality. No question.I have no problems using the zReverb in my projects. The clever integration with Podium adds further to the appeal. 😉
ConquistadorConquistadorThis is a very unique release Frits. This brings advanced track management to Podium in a manner I have not seen elsewhere.
It showcases Podiums high level of Track flexibility while also demonstrating a very different yet intuitive and clever approach to managing grouped tracks.
Sweet! 
Thanks!

Suggestion: You can create two folder objects named something like “Done” and “Drafts”, and move your arrangements into these. That way you decide how many arrangement groupings you want, instead of having to use a fixed dual list layout created by Podium.
That could be very handy. Thanks!
