I’m rude, and my attitude is from ass 8)

Since this is my thread, i take the freedom post most needed fixes.

1. Current inspector fx’s thing. I still think that slot system with d&d support would be best solution. By d&d fx’s it would be fast & easy and you can call it modern feature too. (ye we live in 2009)

2. Current mixer and how it handle plugins. Fx disorder. However, Frits has told he remake mixer after current update. Nice! At least i want to get rid of thos mixer up and down scroll cases.

3. Help us get our ideas fast out in podium and allow note strech on selection tool. PLEASE! One of the smalest request what is ever made. This little thing would make many your customers happy.

4. Swing. Man, every musician needs swings. I dont want to make music which sound 100% made on computer. Ableton or Studio one has good swing system. Take some inspiration there.

5. I would call another modern feature here. Easy sidechain. Sidechain which take maxium 10 seconds to set up. Ableton has most easiest / fastest sidechain. Take inspiration there.

6. Totally new graphics. More modern. Softer edges. Not so blocky, you know. Studio one and ableton have good graphics.

7. Relize that you can’t do all the things alone. You will need help. Find some one to make inbuild fx’s for podium. Or ask if you can add some freebies with Podium. Like Gol did with FL Studio. If i remember right those first fx’s are made by smartelectronix(?)

8. Remember you run business here. If your customers want something, you do it. Well, of course not everything but when preponderance wants same thing..

9. Forget what you like and what you don’t like it. Between betas we can read something like this “i change my mind, i do it this and this”. “i change my mind again blaa blaa”..
What about users opinions? They use your product. You just develop it. Does it matter if you don’t like “fx slots thing”, when your customers do like it and they are happy? You know what happy customers means.

10. Take this criticism in positive way. We all want to help you. Thats why we keep supporting you.

In the end;

My heart bleeding when i see podium waste his own potential

ps. sry for my bad english 😳

PEACE!

Well, english an’t my native language so sometimes it’s kinda hard to say what you really want to say. I do respect Frits. I have told that couple times before. I admire his passion to Podium. I always respect hard working people. Yesterday i was wake up at 5 am, and then Frits post another beta. That’s i call real passion.

I am not best of the best in business, but i do know what musician like. Like i told before, podium is more to audio enginer than musician. Just cause working is slow. When i want to get ideas out fast, i just open FL Studio. Simply cause it is most easiest host and it has best pianoroll.

I have tried couple times to get ideas out fast on podium without success. I personally need all in one pianoroll tool, or atleast draw,erase, select in one tool. In podium you have to switch those tools or use _another_ shortcut to strech notes or select them and so on.. it is just a little thing, but it’s affect so negative on my creative that i hate podium on it.

I have tried to quit FL Studio now over year. I have always return to FL Studio. Even i hate how it sounds (engine). This is just cause it is EASY AND FAST. That is what musician needs and wants.

And yes, i am openminded. I respect Frits. I can wait, there is no problem at all. Even if podium never going to fit on my needs, it’s still okay, and i still going to support frits by bying license, update it and keep donate money. There is no doubt about that.

See my trade offer on vip lounge?

Just say it. Say it straight. I dont except anything.

Frits have chosen his own way, he should know the risks.

Even when some wants to tell him where the problems is, he doesn’t listen you. Not me, not other users. Either he doesn’t answer nothing, or he hide behind pricetag.

This current update aka FX thing is in critical point imo. Couple users, inclueded me wants somekinda slot system with drag and drop support. This is where Frits need to decide what he wants. Old system you keep half of old customers happy, new system (fx’s slots+d&d support) would offer more easy to figure out -> more easy to use -> happy user/customer. Happy customer -> spread word -> more customers -> Frits get more money -> everyone wins.

About Hierarchic

Logical row is up to down. This Podium thing down to up, makes podium unique. To be unique isn’t bad thing. But like i said, in the end this is BUSINESS for Frits.

All i’m asking is Frits to decide what he rly wants.

In my opinion, Frits wants something what he doesnt even know. He want changes, but fear to do them. At least those radical ones.

Changes happen when you change your concept. Chainging consept doesnt happening by accepting ideas all the time from fanboys.

You can hate me as much you want. This is my opinion, and i stay behind it. Some may think that i am envy or resentful.. NO! I’m doing this only to help Frits. Yes help. You read right.

There is so many good alternative host available that podium needs changes if it wants to hit on market. Reaper cost now 60$ and it is comparable to cubase and logic. FL Studio is cheap too. It has all features we would never needed. And dont forget all freebies.

In the end;

Be a realistic. Think what you want and what you have offer to get it.
