I’m not saying it shouldn’t be done if there is a benefit to others. I’m just adding my 2 cents in saying that I wouldn’t benefit from it. I would much sooner see midi controller support added as I don’t have a way around that in Podium. I have a workaround that I am completely happy with when it comes to creating mp3s.

and I don’t see how your approach is any different then Tracktions’ approach. It uses LAME as well.

My latest masterpiece… (or not but I keep trying)…

http://iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=34815&ArtistID=36942

Using 3 different guitars… My Takamine accoustic plays throughout. The beginning lead is my new Washburn Idol with P90’s and the final lead is my Wolfgang.

Piano is the Balthor Grand vst…
Drums are good old jamstix…
Strings are stringz

For guitar tone I use my Korg Ax3000G and use an alternately recorded clean track run through Freeamp 2.0.

Other plugins include Kjaerhus compressor chorus and delay.
Glaceware and ambience reverb.
Extensive use of zEQ
Blockfish and floor fish.
Voxengo curveeq and soniformer2

Feedback is always appreciated…

Did a remix on this and fixed some parts that bothered. I think it’s better now, but that’s only my somewhat biased opinion.

All the best to you as well over the Christmas season and into the new year. It was a good year for Podium and 2007 should be even better…

I have to agree, 110%. Why be different and awkward just for the sake of being different and awkward? This should have been done ages ago as a priority.

Fritz, do a poll, the results may surprise you!

You know it’s kind of funny. The first DAW I really got into was Tracktion. Tracktion stepped beyond the concept of having to use an insert for effects. I bought in to it right away. After spending some time with Tracktion I took a look at some other products, Cubase, Cakewalk and even Reaper and their approach to handling effects just seems alien and archaic.

Why take a step backwards and implement a feature that really comes from a h/w historical perspective. The current implementation of Podium is so much more powerful than provided with these other DAW’s and I very much prefer Podium’s approach than Tracktion’s although when you get right down to it’s not really all that much different.

The addition of zMatrix will take this app to a completely new level I and I can’t wait.

A poll might be interesting but it might surprise you as well.

Some good ideas here. I don’t agree with them all but I really like the idea of what you call a chainer panel. I use the hide lane feature but I do find it a bit a bit of a burden to make adjustment to the hidden tracks or even see what is contained in the hidden track. If the chainer panel would allow you to view the entire chain when selecting any track in the chain it would be a heck of a lot easier to see what’s going and to adjust as you want. I could go for that.

I would try to avoid going down the track insert route as to me it seems it would be bypassing the strength of Podium’s hierarchal architecture. This architecture (once you understand it) truly separates Podium from the other products out there.
