deaWay cool. I will play with this tonight.
deaThat is tasty info. I’m going to purchase an interface specifically for Podium. I’m looking at the M-Audio, Fast Track Ultra 8R – which has 8 inputs. I will surely need to record all 8 simultaneously, but that should be it for some time to come.
Do any of you know if this unit being used with Podium successfully?
deaWhat I did was create a master track, then added the other tracks to this master group track. That got everything under the master track. I then setup the audio output of the master track. I still have to test this guy out though. I think it will work.
deaI’m going to hold off on this for a while. I need to get a better feel for what I’m looking at and to take better notes on the steps I have taken. Thanks.
deaI will get those for you as soon as I can.
deaI’m sorry. Let me explain.
If I go to the Program Change’s Track Properties, there are options to display output gain and panning.
If I go to the parent track’s ( main track containing midi notes, etc. forgive my incorrect verbage…i’m still getting my arms around the concepts ), Track Properties dialog, I also see output gain and panning.
I set one, but the other was not set…I don’t remember whether I worked my way up through the child tracks to the parent, or the other way around. Sorry.
deaYou know, I must confess…. I did not keep track of the exact steps. But, things were not consistant at all. Sometimes it worked. Sometimes it did not. Same VST fxs. Now, things are good and panning is working fine.
I don’t quite understand the concept of having the child program change track’s option to display output panning and gain vs. the top level parent track’s option to display output panning and gain?
How is one different than the other?
deaOkay. I have determined this to be a bug. What is happening is that Podium is not retaining the settings, regardless of whether the dialogs indicate so. I have both the program change and parent track setup with panning option selected, but nothing.
What do I need to provide for you to look at this?
deaGosh. Something is wrong. Now the other tracks won’t pan. I was playing with another track, trying to get it to pan and now no other track will pan to the left. It just simple cuts out.
deaI closed my project, cleaned the carpet, re-opened my project and all panning is working – provided I setup the track properties to have panning and select the program change child track to be panning.
I be excited now.
deaIm not understanding something. I followed the same steps but when I pan to the left, the signals goes away, I can go to the right but not left. I have enabled panning. I’m confused now.
deaWeird. I got the panning to work with the slider now. I believe there is an order of steps required to make this work. But I did not take note of the diffs. Here is what I did to get it to work.
1. Import midi file.
2. Remove all but program change child track, a bunch came with the import.
2. Set track properties to include output panning.
3. Add panning fx type child track to parent Program Change track.
4. Panning slider for that track now works.
deaOkay. I got the panning to work while using the pan editor. But the panning sliders on each individual track would not work. I think the panning editor worked because I enabled panning in the track properties. Im still puzzled by why only the master track’s panning slider works and not each individual track.
deadeaOf course. That makes sense now.
