I presume you have already installed the ZFX software? It should have installed the vst plugin somewhere – commonly the default location will be something like C:\Program Files\Steinberg\vst plugins. Have a quick look at the Podium guide section on plugins here:

Hopefully you’ll find sufficient info there to get you going. If not come back and ask again 🙂

Yes, you can run multi-out vst instruments with Podium free. There is a youtube video here that covers the process:

Essentially, when importing a multi out vsti Podium creates mappings for all the outs in a sub-folder. Hit F2 and your list of instruments and fx will be displayed on the left. Locate your multi-out instrument and drag the entire sub-folder onto the track header area of the arrangement page/view. Have a look at the video and hopefully it should become clear.

Do you mean the Line6 pod xt? I can’t find any reference to pod xp. According to it’s manual, the xt has a usb connector for digital i/o, in which case you wouldn’t have to go through the mic input. Besides, I don’t think it’s proper to use a mic input for recording through the xt – the manual says a line-level input is required.

If you want to assign an input to multiple tracks, you can copy the input by Ctrl+click-dragging it to another track from the input selector.

I have to admit I didn’t know about that one – thanks for the tip 🙂

A right click on the track header will give you an ‘automate parameter’ option. There are mixer related parameters available on all tracks – level, pan and send. Then, if it’s a midi track more options such as pitchbend and also vst parameters if you have a plugin on the track. Selecting any of these will create an automation track. Hope that helps.
