Nevermind, Darcy. I’ve already duplicated it here with Beta 1836. I get no error but Podium does a CTD. What are the disadvantages of unchecking the ‘Unload plugin’ option?
It doesn’t free up cpu/memory. However I can work around this by unchecking it before doing the offline bounce. Disabling the bounce, rechecking the “unload plugin” then reactivating the bounce. Since this doesn’t re-record the bounce I don’t have the lockup. It’s a few extra steps but gets the job done.
darcyb62I will give it a try this evening.
darcyb62I’m with Podianer on this. I’ve had Reaper on and off my system a couple of times and to be quite honest it’s not for me. It does seem to have some momemntuim going for it but the folks at kvr are kind of funny lot. As long as the developer is giving the users everything and anything they want they will blindly follow, but as soon as that stops, the attitudes on there change as well.
I come from the Tracktion side myself, and every once in a while I’ll start it up but I keep coming back to Podium. ONce you undertsand how it works it really is quite logical. And even as strong as it already there is room for more. (like fade in/outs and controller support 😉 😉 )
I frequent kvr quite a bit but I don’t find myself contributing much anymore. Not really worth the hassle.
darcyb62Having tried several other products I find the current adaption of Podium’s offline bounce at least as good as but often better than anything else out there.
darcyb62another problem with Jamstix.
I am using Jamstix Beta 1833 and Podium v1.60.
If I try to do an offline render of the jamstix track the system will feeze at the completion of the render. The only way to clear the problem is to restart the system.
The real time render works fine and offline render seems to work fine on audio tracks.
If I uncheck “Unload plugins when bounce is activated” it works fine and do an offline render it works fine.
The problem does not exist with other instruments.
darcyb62To be quite honest, I’m not exactly sure what I was doing back then. Looking at it now, it works just fine.
darcyb62Not important for me.
darcyb62HAd to import mutiple instances but that works like a charm
darcyb62Email sent earlier today. I’m trying a new email program and it was giving me a bit of grief but I think it went out eventually. Let me know if you didn’t get it.
darcyb62For example, if you open up your task manager, go to the performance tab and maximize the window, you will start getting a pop when the task manager window updates as you increase cpu utilization. I have also noticed that Podium seems to mnage this much better than Tracktion does. With Tracktion it doesn’t matter how low cpu utilization is, it will pop everytime the task manager window updates.
This doesn’t happen with Podium until you start getting the cpu utilization up there.
darcyb62Looks pretty cool. I’ll take a listen tonight when I have a better audio environment. As far as a parameters, I can’t say that I can offer much. With other reverbs I use I just go through the presets until I find one I like and thats about it, so for me the simpler the better.
darcyb62Not a problem.
The jamstix boys had me disable the “output midi to host” function as they felt that this is something that most vst instruments wouldn’t support and might be why jamstix causes a problem and others don’t. I tried it but it didn’t make any difference.
I will spend some more time testing and if I find anything else I’ll let you know.
I’ll see if I get another synth to do this as well. Do you know of any other (free) synths that might be sample based?
darcyb62The Jamstix guys had me do a couple of checks and based on this think it might be a problem with Podium. In checking this out with them I noticed that as CPU went up, available memory was going down. With this in mind they have load indicator which gives a representation of the samples being played at any particular point in time. While this number varies depending on the pattern it stayed consistently in the 42 to 52 range. Their thoughts were that if this number increased over time, then Jamstax wasn’t properly releasing samples from memory. Since it stayed constant this isn’t the case.
So it seems there is a memory leak happening. If there is anything in particular you would like me to try let me know.

darcyb62Gave it a quick test and the pops are now gone.
