kingtubbygreat – thanks 🙂 I’m still learning stuff after all this time.
kingtubbyCheers, just watched it and I think I’m ready for the big time now.

I am feeling today’s DAWs have nowhere to go as it is turning around all new engines, stuff I do not understand and care and things that should be considered fixes instead.
100% agree – the arguments focus on increasingly narrow points of debate.

Automatic plugin scanning at the start is trickier than it sounds, too, in my opinion. How does Podium know whether a plugin has been updated or not, whether it exists or not, and so on? You can look at files … but updated VSTs with the same filename, does it bother to check them? If so, it needs to read at least some of the VST to check version or other data. Or, you could use the file system’s last date modified, but then what if it’s not correct? What if it’s the same, and Podium skips it, and it turns out to have added parameters that you’ll miss because it wasn’t reimported?
energyXT doesn’t do a plugin scan at all, it just lists any .dll files in your plugin folder. The plus is that you can add or remove plugins without the need for rescanning. The minus is that you’ll only know if a plugin is compatible/working once you try to load it.
kingtubbyI really like granular synthesis and tried grainz a few years ago but failed to get anything pleasing (at least to my ears) out of it.
I own granite which is by far my favourite and well worth the asking price.
Smear is a new one to me and I thought I’d heard of everything granular, so thanks for that link.
Also agreed about SKnote – some terrific stuff there at a very reasonable price – no demos though.
kingtubbyI prefer Wavosaur. I tried ocenaudio for a bit. It looks promising but is quite basic at the moment, plus the vst scan always crashed for me.
kingtubbyA new time stretching library is available here:

There is a contact link on the page re. pricing
kingtubbythanks for sharing – love your sounds 8)
kingtubbyI saw that too. Some great stuff in there – I bought RedPhatt Pro a few years ago and still use it a lot.

You’re welcome! You propose topics for discussion very interesting!
I had fun making a short video about this plugin in Podium Free:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8vXnoOxlzQ&feature=plcp
It’s banal but I hope it can still be useful to someone! 😉
Good stuff Me le suono! Concise little tutorials like this are a real help to newcomers 🙂
kingtubbyWell, as it happens I agree with a lot of what you said there – plenty of valid points, and for what it’s worth, I don’t think your post (in this case) was too long. 😉
My issue was that you repeatedly bring up gripes with Podium which, though I’m sure are quite reasonable, don’t need to be raised at every opportunity.

Brevity in a highly technological age is a recipe for disaster
I tend to disagree. It depends on how you define disaster in this context, but in my view we’re currently experiencing an acceleration in the continuum of the transition from the purely human to the purely technological. Whether you regard that as a disaster is debatable. In my view it is inevitable…hence, I think that brevity in communication is increasingly important.

Sorry I didn’t respond in the short grunts and phrases that is more common on the internet today. I realise how painful it is to have to use your brain and read something. I suggest if you can’t cope with it there are lots of cartoons and such on the net that will entertain you without having to invest so much as one brain cell.
Well done. Four lines is an improvement.
To quote George Burns:
“The secret of a good sermon is to have a good beginning and a good ending; and to have the two as close together as possible.”
Brevity, dear boy, brevity…
kingtubbyoh look kids – another wall of text…sorry, I had to say it.
