I tell you what I do usually. If you find a better way, let me know. 😉

1) Build the plugin database only once with Rebuild and load plugin database on the Create New Project page. This command creates a global database can be used in all projects. At this point, for all new projects, just select Load plugin database. In this way, you’ll use always the plugin in the global database you have created.
If for some project you need to add more plugins, you can use Import plugin… or Import plugin for folder… from the Devices menu in the Project Start Page. The new plugin will only be added to that project and not to the main database.
If you need to heavily modify the global database by adding dozens of new plug-ins, you should rebuild it again with Rebuild and load plugin database. If you maintain the old database folders structure, the old projects will be able to find the new plugins when you select Load plugin database.

2) The following method can be applied to a single track or to the master track to export a multitrack bounce file:
– Right click on the bounce slot and select Hide Track Lane;
– Double click on the audio bounce to open it in the editor;
– Select the part you want to export and then select Export Selection to Sound File… from File menù.

3) It’s hidden.
Click on the “+” sign in the upper right corner in all pages of the web site.

Hi,
I don’t know if I understood, but I assume you don’t have the VST plugin of ZFX and you want to record in Podium from the ZFX standalone application.
OK, if that’s it, you have to record from Wave Out. Usually, I do that to record from internet, a media player, etc…

Windows Xp configuration
– open the sound recording mixer;
– select the Stereo Mix input (or something like that);

The input level for recording must be set here.

Podium configuration
– Setup -> Audio/MIDI;
– In the Audio tab select your driver, your interface and two input channels and two output channels (stereo in/stereo out);
– add a new track in the sequencer and in the input slot select Audio In 1+2 (or something like that… again);
– click the “x” on the right to disable the input monitoring to avoid the loop of audio signal (now the “x” should be yellow);
– arm the track for recording (“R” button in the track header) and press the record button;
– finally, press play to start the recording.

Now, if you play your instrument, you should see the progress of the waveform in the sequencer.
Try to playback what you have just recorded to check if the effects have been applied.

Hi,
in these cases, my advice is to use the 32-bit version.
We talked about it here:

Hi,
I did several tests. This is the result.

The settings are visible in the picture.
You did not specify which driver and which VST plugin you are using. Perhaps the problem is due to one of these.

You can’t import a mp3 file directly in Podium. You have to convert it to audio wave format and then import it in Podium. The same thing to export: bounce the arrangement as wave format and convert it to mp3. There are tens of free audio converters to do this.

Hi,
here’s a quick setup for Podium.

– Donwload and install Asio4all driver: http://asio4all.com/
– Start Podium. From the Setup menu choose Audio/MIDI. In the Audio tab, drop down the combo box and select Asio drivers. In the Asio interface combo box select ASIO4ALL.
– In the MIDI tab, select the input MIDI interface by checking the box of your keyboard (Axiom 49). Deselect all outputs.
– In the Control surfaces tab, make sure all the combo boxes are set with <None>.
– Click OK to apply the changes.
– If you haven’t yet a plugin database, go to the Setup menu and in the Plugins tab add a folder to be scanned. Click OK to apply the changes.
– In the project start page, from the drop down list select Rebuild and load plugin database.
– Again, in the project start page, click Create project to create a new Podium project.
– Add a new track in the sequencer. In the Source slot, select Toxic biohazard plugin and assign a preset.
– In the Input slot, select MIDI inputs -> MIDI In.
– Try to play some notes. You should hear the sound and you should see the midi indicator flashing for each note. The MIDI indicator is the icon at the right-bottom of the sequencer.

Hi,
you can download the installer here:

Check the bit resolution when you export the audio file. Try to create an audio file with 24 or 32 bit resolution and see (listen 😉 ) what happens. Note that you’ll need a good media player to play the file (such as VLC).
