guitarzanWow! Sounds like a great feature!! Will this be in the next demo realease? I only have the CM version of Podium right now, and I am also checking out a couple other possibilities. Is is possible to try a current demo and still have the CM version installed?
I do have a minor issue that keeps me from making much progress with the CM version, and it is the small buttons for the track options – I can’t see them clearly at all on my laptop’s 15″ UXGA (1600 x 1200) monitor and I don’t see any tooltips. It’s probably time for me to consider bifocals, but I’m just not ready for that yet! 😀 Is there an option to make the buttons bigger or to enable tooltips on those track buttons?
Thanks!

guitarzanI just thought I should add that I know very little about MIDI, so if there are already methods to do the things I’m trying to do I’d be very happy to hear about them!
guitarzanHello all, I’m new here (just now getting around to checking out the CM version of Podium) and I am specifically searching for host that has the kind of MIDI tempo manipulation capabilies Klemperer has mentioned here, so I thought I’d post my reasons too.
Like most guitar players I know, my ideas come from jam sessions or just noodling and I really have no idea about the time signature or BPM – but the phrasing is right where I want it to be. I just had a hell of a time with a short animation theme even though it ended up being a straight forward 4/4 168 BPM. The catch was that my guitar part had to start just after (swing time, as always for me) the third beat of the first measure in order to get Jamstix to kick out a matching drum part. It was my own original rhythm guitar part, but I had no idea where to fit it into a complete composition.
What I really want is an easy interactive way to figure out not only BPM (that’s not too bad as it is really) but also time signature and on what beat my guitar idea starts on. The best way I can think of would be a way to comprehensively experiment with MIDI tempo realtime against prerecorded audio. There are countless tools to mangle and chop audio to fit a MIDI tempo, but it seems little is available to manipulate MIDI tempo into fitting with audio.
