PodianerOk, I tested and tested and this is what I could find out:
There seems to be a problem with offline bouncing and the a track’s level in the hierarchy.
I have two audio tracks without any plugin mappings on them. I wrap both in bounce tracks and enable “b” and “r”. These 4 tracks are put under another track to move them. I got crashes in my arrangement especially with these 4 tracks. Other tracks rendered fine though. I moved these two tracks to the left, so that they were right under the master level. Rendering was fine this time! Then I moved the tracks one step to the right. Now there was one effect track between the master out and my group track. When offline rendering now, Podium doesn’t crash but the render dialog starts, and everything slows down. The render dialog gets too slow to wait for it to end. I aborted. Then I put my group track one further step to the right. Again everything works fine. Smooth and fast rendering.
Now I have these 3 conditions:
– crash
– slowdown
– normal
I hope this helps pin pointing the reason for that. The bounce feature is one of the mightiest of Podium. It is sad that I get so many crashes with it.

PodianerAlthough it will help to bring some order in my current projects, it does not help deleting orphan files, does it? The possibility to delete them manually in the list window would be perfect.
PodianerI see 😆 you just don’t want to mess up the new project start page.. But your solution sounds good to me.

My goal is to create a new icon for sound objects that are saved in another file folder than the arrangement folder. The context menu for these sounds will then have a menu for copying/moving the sound files to the arrangement folder. This can be used in your case to move sounds into arrangement sub folders, but can also be used to make local project copies of e.g. drumloops dragged into an arrangement.
If you use these commands for all your sounds in all your arrangements, then the sounds remaining in your project folder should be the orphan sounds, which you then can delete.
Will it be possible to do that with a selection of files and not only for one selected sound object? Quite a time saver then..
PodianerBut that won’t give the option to import just a selection of Plugins in a newly created project.

PodianerIn my case there is no midi track involved. Only audio. I’ll further try to recreate this, in order to narrow down the possibilities. Perhaps a certain plugin is to blame.
PodianerSounds like a good solution to me. Will this be available in the next release? PLEASE! 😆

will the recalled track be the same in every arrangement? I mean if I use this “template track” in several arrangements, will all these instances use just 1 preset?
You do not “assign” template tracks the same way you assign objects. You can consider template tracks as an organized clipboard. When you create a track from a template, the new track will be unique and there is no connection to the template.
THAT is very good!!
PodianerBy the way.. this is something, the new Cubase 4 will get. So Frits is a step ahead again 😆
PodianerI didn’t want to start a new topic, so that’s why I am writing here. Although the issue above is solved, I still get a lot of crashes with offline bounce. I tried to recreate the situation for 2 hours now. I couldn’t. In some arrangements, it works as it is expected, and in others Podium crashes.
Here my problem, which occured very often!!I have e.g. 5 tracks that are inside different groups in the arrangement. I wrap all of them in new bounce tracks. On every of those tracks, I enable record and bounce, then I hit Ctrl and R and then Podium crashes. I bypassed all plugins in the arrangement, but that didn’t help. I also tried to change the hierarchy level. Didn’t help either.
Any idea?
PodianerSeems to be a very powerful feature! But one question: will the recalled track be the same in every arrangement? I mean if I use this “template track” in several arrangements, will all these instances use just 1 preset?

Take “confusing” for cluttering. In my opinion the less options you have to achieve one thing, the less it can confuse newcomers. I like right click context menus, but there are always two sides to the medal.
In any case the six (four new options plus the other two… “Delete” and “Move to a new folder”) are just that…6 options. 🙂
As a product grows in features it is inevitable that once basic features that everyone wants are out of the way, the more precise, granular user related features are more unique to each persons workflow.
My suggestions are not made to change things for everyone. Frits could surely make this optional. Options are simply the way sequencers operate in many areas. That way everyone can see what they want. No need to settle for someone else’s suggestion.
For instance under Peferences > Graphics a simple collection of six right click options could be placed there. Un tick whichever right click options you do not want to see.
There is even space in the Preference box for a dedicated Track tab. So options can exist there even. 8)
Ok! Your point! 🙂 I actually like your idea.. Good one! I myself like tweaking my host. I initially just wanted to state that newcomers could get hindered in learning Podium, as most are frustrated just by the fact its mixer engine is hierarchic. Creating one’s own rightclick menus is the best way I think. This way everybody can set his own workflow.. Is this possible Frits?

Why clutter all the menus in the arrangement editor when going back to the browser window can be done with 1 click? I do not want to “surf” through a menu with 50 options.
I don’t think that 4 more options in a right click context menu is so cluttering ?

The “tracks region properties” in the editor profile.
Oh, weird…
I thought that it will be a track option basis, not a global option for the whole profile.
In this case, I wonder if it is really interesting…Could it be a track option in the future ?
Oh, I realize that I had misunderstood your comment. Of course my advice didn’t help then.. Sorry! 😳
