I had fun making a short video about this plugin in Podium Free:

It’s banal but I hope it can still be useful to someone! 😉

I realized after the difficulty to make available tracks. Your solution is perfect: simple and fast.

In fact, I too would have expected more enthusiasm and more participation but I realize that even I don’t had much time to devote to Podium. I have so many ideas but little time. 😥

As for the restrictions on plugins, I just say that I started to fiddle around with electronic music ten years ago with a software (Magix MM 3.0, 1997 version!) that had only playing midi sequences and had only distortion, reverb and echo and a single EQ on the master track. Therefore, they must commit only with the automation and the imagination!

The database plugins management is a bit complicated.
If you want to add new plugins without losing the settings of existing ones, choose “Update database and load plugins”. This should only scan for new plugins and skip the scan for those already contained in your database.
However, the advices that I can give you are these:

• Create a plugins database that you use most often and leave it unchanged. Then, if in a project you need to add more plugins, use “Import plugin”.
• Use “Rebuild …” only if you have deleted many unused plugins. Think about it as a drastic solution.

…and not in the real folder, i want a real list of plugins…

I don’t think that you can do something like that. The easiest way is to put all plugins in the “VST plugins” Podium.

In conclusion, take a look at this:

Can I record multiple tracks at once in free version?

If I understand your question, yes, if you have more than one audio input on your sound card.
You must assign an audio input for each track, arm the track and start recording. You should see the tracks record simultaneously.
I tried to assign the left channel input to a track and right channel input to another and it worked.

Very groovy. A bit 70’s disco so perhaps vocals with that flavour?!

Geat!

As compared to the original, I find it has a more timid finish (character as opposed to track’s ending). Was that intentional?

It was not intentional. I think it depends on the different sounds / instruments that I have used in the two tracks. In the Podium mix the focus is on the piano melody.

Hmm… Podium free –> plugins free… 😀 😆 …I’m joking

@kim_otjc

Thanks! I have visited your website yesterday: it must be a great satisfaction to make a whole album and play live!

Personally, I think that the satisfaction to use Podium is follow the updates and improvements step by step and produce music with the limitations of the software, despite everything. All for free.

It’s not my intention to be controversial, but the developer is only one and in my opinion, he has done much! Other software houses have a lot of developers and spend much money in advertisement and events to promote their products.

Anyway, to compensate for lack of features in Podium, I use it together with another software (also free), waiting for future updates.
