Hi all,

Does anyone like the idea of an “Automate VST Parameter” option direct from the editor(s)?

Might be tricky but seems useful to me rather than having to navigate to the parameter through a menu with a different layout.

That’s sort of what I was suggesting… 🙂

Mart.

@ Kingtubby,

haha …sry mate 😳 , ritght you are. When I read your post I got to the bit about the crash bug and kinda just skipped to the next post.

I like the non-GUI editors, all plugs look/feel the same and all the graphical distractions are removed. Also, you can get access to parameters that do not have a GUI element at all.

Oh, and LiquidProj3ct (& Kyran’s) suggestion of Favourites for the parameters is an excellent one 🙂

Yes thanks Frits! Such an overhaul …it’s fantastic.

The embedded mixer was one of the things that drew me to Podium in the first place, and now, it’s been super-charged. 8)

@thcilnnahoj

Yeah my bad, kinda mis-read the tone 😳 (-1 Internets to me)

I’m finding 2.23 to be a huge update with some really sensible improvements. I fear that users who have not been following the betas will wonder if they’re looking actually at Podium when they install the update 😉

What state? With “tabs”, do you mean the tabulator key or the page headers at the top of the project window?

No sorry I was referring to the Editor Profile Bar buttons. Previously, I believe that you had a default state where track headers were expanded in the Tracks view and minimised on the Mixer view (tab, Profile Bar button).

This made sense to me, especially as there is no ‘Minimise all tracks’ button.

As mentioned I’d like the state of the inspector and browser to be stored/recalled across tabs as well.

Please clarify.

A feature request really. At present the Inspector/Browser is independent of the Editor Profiles. I just though that if one was working on the Editor page with the Browser open, switching to the Mixer might have it hidden and on the Tracks page (profile) it could be shown but the inspector (for presets) rather than the browser.

Clicking on a track in the rack doesn’t highlight the corresponding track in the mixer or track headers (ie. Group track).

If the track is shown in the rack, then it is already the focus track, and so should already be highlighted in the tracks and mixer regions?

I guess all I was saying was that clicking on a track in the rack, group, parameter or otherwise doesn’t update the focus on the Mixer or Track Header. If that’s the desired behavior then …okay.

Adding output gain and output panning to and effect in the rack sets the fader at two locations on the mixer strip (two active squares) and shows additional Pan & Fade controls in the mixer

I belieave that’s how it always have worked, or do you mean you have found a new bug?

Nah, I think I just got confused because there was a send on the track.

Would it be possible for the new track menu to stay rolled out and change focus as you click on different tracks in the mixer? As it is now I still prefer to right-click the track. Clicking anywhere else would close it of course.

But you can already do that by right-clicking on the track header or mixer strips? Or are you referring to something else?

I was just trying to think of a way to change the behavior, I just don’t see how I would add this Track menu tab to my workflow (as opposed to the right-click we mentioned).

Maybe it’s a hot-key thing :shrug:

Hope this helps clarify my points. One final thing, is intended that “Insert new effect track” is now gone from the Track Menu?

Hey there, it’s late here but I thought I might just contribute a just a couple of notes:

Also,

I like the grid as is thanks

I like the new style 🙂 . The wider groove for the slider(s) looks better too IMO.

As for the mixer I always thought that that frames used to highlight boxes in the inspector were quite effective and you are spot on about the “too much colour” problem. Using a frame allows for the use of a lot more colour variations.

One thing you may want to look at is when adding gain/pan controls (edit: on the group panel) to the top-most effect track, the sliders appear above the (+) Add new effect button ….seems wrong?

Also, would it be possible to have the inspector state (view/hide) remembered across the different tabs?

Ben

Thanks Frits, lots of useful additions with this release 🙂
