LiquidProj3ctWell, don’t worry too much. I have plans to bypass that limitation and you can enjoy Nora in Podium without messing up with virtual midi cables.

Hey, great video Juan, I really enjoyed it alot. And I am particularly fond of the arps it the background. Very proggy and bring depth to the composition. 🙂
Thanks 🙂 Actually these arps were very easy to program, just a simple arp following the main chords in a random point. The sound was a saw wave and an LFO modulating the pitch, and a LP filter.
About the “message”, you say is a subjective opinion, but it is exactly what I think as well (and the possibility of it being an objective truth is quite big). Especially the part concerning “the hyped tools”.
As the saying goes “It’s not the gear, it’s the engineer”.
Well, I always thought that if you can think the opposite, then both afirmations are false. So I’m sure lots of people love these tools – not me, I continue making 1997-2001 trance and acid music, so the new minimal and house generation is irrelevant for me.
Btw, it is a good opportunity for me to thank you for your great tutorials. They helped me tremendously when I first started using Podium and drastically shortened the learning-curve. Thanks mate.
My pleasure 😉
A strange synchronicity is that today I myself am working on a short teaser/medley of some of my goa/psy tracks, exactly for the same reasons, all done with Podium Free and Freeware plugins, as a futile attempt to show what is possible with these “non-pro” tools.
I’d advice you this book, is a big eye opener in the melodic subject: complete idiot’s guide music composition. Thanks to it I write tune after tune.
Sorry for the Xiosynth. May you have an Andromeda A6 one day 😀
Well, when I’ve money again I’ll go por a Supernova 🙂
LiquidProj3ctDone with Podium Free in few hours. Since I’m selling all my gear, before send the Xiosynth 25 I did a quick jam, and a small publicity 😛

All the best

Thanks for the file. The bug happens because the sound file is 44.1k and the arrangement is 48k samplerate. As you know, Podium currently does not properly support using sound files of a different samplerate than what you select for the arrangement. Once I implement samplerate conversion and time-stretching, these issues will be fixed.
Yes, I thought they could be related. However I considered it was a good idea notify it to you 🙂
LiquidProj3ctLiquidProj3ctLiquidProj3ctthis reply was slower 🙂 I’m extremately busy
Pitch bend sends CC0, and the most of the vst synths have pitch bend and modulation wheel pre-mapped.
EmuX Board 25 doesn’t support mackie emulation, so you cannot link your controller to volume/pan/mute/solo controls.
My onboard is just an stereo card. However i can route 16 audio channels to these two outputs. I try to do the tutorial the next week. I’ll notify you here 🙂
LiquidProj3ctTo link a Keyboard controler – software usaually lists what keyboards they support. The support is via a midi map
– if the app doesn’t have one – until they do usually you can make one yourself for what ever midi keyboard you have.
If you want control Podium interface with MIDI messages, you cannot in the most of cases. You could control the mixer if your midi controller support mackie emulation. ATM only play and stop button are mapped.
You can, however, control plugins if they’ve MIDI learn.
BTW – LiquidProj3ct – I was just reading another thread you started requesting requests for tuts on Podium. Still taking requests?
Yes, but you should expect some delay, I’m very busy programming a vst plugin.
But – do you happen to have a tut on Surround sound mixing and 3D sound for stereo and Surround Sound?
I don’t own any sound card that support more than two outputs. However it shouldn’t be difficult. Just open your audio output device properties and choose the outputs in the Mixer Output field. Also you should configure the other devices to route them to the desired output. I could try to do a video only with two channels and routing different devices to them.
Take a look to the GSnap and Plugins serie videos. If you cannot wonder how to use more than two outputs, just let me know.

LiquidProj3ctWhat do you want to mean with that? Can you detail me an example about what you want to achieve? I ask this because the term “midi map” sounds a little confusing for me

LiquidProj3ctWell, I asked in the past some independency between mixer and arrangement tracks, so you can have (i.e, any drumsynth) one midi track in the arrangement that feed 4 audio tracks without getting too messy
LiquidProj3ctWhat do you need?
I was a Cockos customer until Podium had relative snap. Then I sold my Reaper license. Podium fullfill the most of my needs (multicore version), better than any host . Maybe it doesn’t fullfill your needs, that’s the reason I’m asking you.
Podium free is like Podium “demo v.2”. Maybe you need multicore support, other person could need two midi outputs. But, what if Free version support multicore processors… why should you buy the full version? btw anybody with a modern PC can spend $50 in Podium.
Don’t talk me about work, in Spain there are 4 millons of people (20% of active population) without work. I’m one of them 👿 but I do everything I can to earn some spare: learning english, fixing electric problems, making music, producing my own plugin etc. I’m willing to go to USA or Germany.
And you should see another famous real musician I know here in Spain . He is using a PC with Sonar 3.1.1
Lion, nanoKey now is for $30. New. THis is because Korg is going to release nanoControllers v2.
LiquidProj3ctInfinitoar, I will only add a litte wise sentence: “emotions always are a desesperate and futile attempt to control something”
Reaper is not free. It doesn’t matter how albums are sold, or where you can find warez, or the global economy, or any other host, or some ethical reasons, or religious reasons. Reaper is Reaper, and it isn’t free. You can demo it 30 days.
And the most of my plugins are NOT free and that’s the reason I only have a bunch and I know them, and the more I know them, I do better music and I achieve more variety in it, it seems weird, doesn’t it? Just try it 🙂
I try to give you the best advice I can 😉
LiquidProj3ctHey Infinitoar 😉
Why cripple plugin multiprocessing for the free version?
Podium free doesn’t support multicore CPUs, only the paidware version as you read. Anyway Podium should have any advantage over Podium Free. To be honest I think that the free version of Podium is the most generous “lite” version you will find. There are other famous hosts that doesn’t support multicore CPU in their full versions even…
Also Podium free only support one Midi Out, because… if you can spends hundred of dollars in them, you can spend $50 in Podium.
You could be using Reaper, but if you use it more than 30 days you would be ‘stealing’ the software. Reaper isn’t free, it costs $60.
I’m sure there are some capable people that can lend you a hand in the development of Podium and asking for nothing “HUGE” in return
Yes, I’m developing my own plugins in C++ and maybe I could help to Podium development, but I need more experience .
-Slow plugin loading
-When the project is fully rendered it “feels” like Podium is STILL using the CPU to keep the pluginactive even though the trackhave been rendered into a .wav. [which makes no damn sense whatsoever]If a track is “MUTED” all [CPU]processes from that track should cease, not “crank down”
I didn’t see that.
-Not a detailed CPU meter of what is running and taking the most CPU and what’s not.
I don’t miss that, i focus on make music and I know my plugins, so I guess what’s the problem and how could I solve it. Try bouncing whitin range, maybe that helps 🙂
-When loading a project it takes a while to load all the plugins used in the project.[whether they are heavy CPU load plugins or NOT, trust me I’ve did it]
Usually that’s plugin dependent. There is some fast and few slow plugins. My own plugins two months ago spend around 4 seconds to load in Podium, now 0.3 seconds (aprox)
-No “backup saves”
I think someday I will remake my Ctrl-S macro 😛 I don’t miss it because I’m used to do ctrl-s each 2-3 operations, however I understand your point.
Using your Keyboard as a MIDI keyboard
Yes, that’s cool for laptop users. I also miss it when I go with my laptop to another place where I don’t have any midi keyboard.
