As it goes, I like the filling, it does make it alot more clear, but it would be good to see the grid thru’/over the curve.

Having said that, the option to be able to choose makes the whole experience more friendly 🙂

That would be good, actually

Also a ‘Most Recently Used’ list would be invaluable for me… I have things in different folders all the time, and so being able just to select from a list rather than navigate up the tree and back down.. Also I have my songs some where other than My Docs, since I started out that way; so I’m sometimes navigating long distances depending on where Podium decides to open a Save Dialog!

btw, the bussing is great!

Going OK – the demo project is helpful.

Could something be put in for automatically creating send and return devices? Maybe an option in the New.. menu? Just ask for a name and the number of through channels.

I like what I see btw! I was sort of expecting a send for every bus created, but what you have done is far more sleek, and will obviously cut down CPU resource – rather than sending out parts of every track to the busses and overloading the system, the simple ‘I want that to go there’ approach is nice. It can make for rather involved tree structures, but you know aht goes where. As and when the allowance for multiple device mappings per track comes in the stuctures can be simplified (I recall we talked vaguely about it sometime ago), but until that point, I’d say you’ve done a good job there mate!

Frits, this looks execllent!

I will find the bypass particularly useful for audio recording (since I have bad latency problems on my laptop).

I’m just about to go away for 2 weeks to sunny cornwall, so I’ll download when I get back (whether it’s this or any other release!)

Many thx

What I like about Podium is its simplicity. This may seem an odd thing to say, but honestly, after you have used it a while, are comfortable with the interface, got a decent studio profile set up, etc., it really does just fly.

Though it may seem unusual, the mixing engine is simplicity itself, readily presenting groups, automation, drill-down/back-out functionality in a clear straight forward way. If there are odd sounds to track down, it really is very simple to isolate and cure the offender – the routing is displayed in an easy to read fashion.

Of course, its not for me to tell you what you should buy. As Frits says, try the demo. If it works for your way of thinking, then really there is nothing to touch it.

When Using CreateWindow, set dwStyle to include WS_DLGFRAME.

WS_DLGFRAME Creates a window that has a border of a style typically used with dialog boxes. A window with this style cannot have a title bar.

However, doing this you will then need to write your own routines for Max/Minimize, move, etc, but this could be done with a panel or menu items (and the move can be done by tracking mouse movement when clicking on a panel).

Lookup the CreateWindow function for more..!

Alternatively, in the interim, you can use something like Tobybear’s mixbox to route stuff out to other tracks.

you have to keep your wits about you, but provided you’re not working at 5AM as haiku seems to, you should be alright!

I’ve used this successfully, but it can have an implication when bouncing tracks. See here for my notes about this.
