You can try two (free) software:

vst3shell
shell2vst

Please note that these plugins are under development, so expect strange behavior or even crashes. Save your project frequently.

However, place your VST3 plug-ins in the following directories:
64 bit: C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
32 bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\VST3

Create a folder (wherever you want) and extract the contents of vst3shell and shell2vst (which have 64-bit and 32-bit versions).
Drag vst3shell.x64.dll and vsti3shell.x64.dll to shell2vst64.exe (same for 32-bit version). It should create a subdirectory called VST3, containing the 64-bit VST2 dlls of all 64-bit VST3 plugins (all ~5kb).
Now you can move these plugins wherever you want and use them with Podium like any other plugin.

OK, replace the | with /

Try these (sorry but the forum does not allow me to post the download links, why?):

vst3shell
shell2vst

Please note that these two free softwares are under development, they may not work or even cause crashes. Save your project frequently.

Now you can move these new plugins wherever you want and use them with Podium like any other plugin. Don’t move the vst3shell plugins because the newly created VST2s need them.

I tested this solution with very simple plugins (some synths and some effects), so I can’t say if it will also work with more complex ones like Kontakt, Melodyne, etc…

The most easy way to bounce a part of a track (or an arrangement) is to use the punch range. Set the punch in at the start and the punch out at the end (“where the track is supposed to end”) and press Alt+B in the Master track. Now select Export as sound file from the File menu.
Always delete the old bounce clip in the Master track before bounce again with Alt+B.

Alternatively, you can bounce the whole arrangement (pressing B) and then select only the part you want to export.
– Right click on the Bounce slot in the Master track and deselect Hide track lane.
– Double click on the bounce clip to open the audio editor.
– Select the part to export and choose Export selection as sound file.

You could try Voicemeeter:

I never used it, so I don’t know how (and if) it works.

I remember this plugin. I tried it a few years ago.
Open the plugin window (UI) and select MIDI (STOP – RUN – SYNC – MIDI).
Now the drum machine can be used as a MIDI instrument. Create a MIDI clip/sequence in the Podium sequencer and play it. That’s all. You don’t need to record nothing. If you want, you can bounce the track to create an audio clip.

I made some tests and here’s the result:

The first track is the original track with a effect applied.
The second track contains the bounced audio of the first track (Move Bounced Audio to New Track).
In the third track I have imported the audio file previously saved from the first track (Export Bounced Audio to Sound File).

As you can see, the levels of the three tracks are the same (peak and RMS).

I export my tracks to sound files

Do you export each track or only the master track?
The Export to Sound File… option from the File menu, exports the master track.
In the picture above, the level of master track is lower than the others. If you export it, the level of audio file will decrease.

There are several ways to assign a plugin (effect) to a track, try these:

– from the Inspector panel, in the Device section, simply double click on a plugin in the list or drag & drop a plugin to the track.

– from the sequencer, click on the “+” sign in the track effects rack, you should see your plugins list displayed.
