PodianerI guess a ‘total recall’ is the ultimate goal. I may implement it in lesser steps though.
Any chance to see this in 1.64? 😉
PodianerSo : could you add an option to “release the driver when Podium is in the background” or, perhaps easier, “when the engine is off” ?

This is something I’d like to see, too.

PodianerI thought Germany had a realistic chance to win the cup! I was in Dortmund when they played against Italy. Very said that it didn’t come to a shoot-out. 🙁
But I am looking forward to the optimizations Frits will implement in release 1.63! 😉
PodianerThis sounds great. I never had such huge files, but for multi-channel waves, this will make a big difference.
Are there any other sides to the disk streaming that you are going to optimize?
Looking forward to 1.63
PodianerOne example would be a chain of certain effects. You do not have to create several tracks in Podium. And if you wish to use exactly this chain of effects in another arrangement, you can save the whole “state” (as it is called in Phrazor) and load it elsewhere. Pretty much the thing many people always wanted to be in Podium. Since Frits implemented the better view options for tracks, Podium is much better to handle than before. But still there are situations where the flexibility of Phrazor is a great help to do things in Podium.

PodianerThank you Frits!!! 🙂
PodianerSounds great!! I am a volunteer for beta testing!! 😆
I own 3 versions of Halion. Tell me If I can help you sorting this out!
PodianerAudio tracks that are muted by a parent bounce track no longer streams in the background. This reduces disk usage at the cost of short delay before tracks start playing again when unmuted.
Thank you for this!! 😛
PodianerI would not risk such pronostics…
The comparison of softwares is always a difficult exercise, which don’t give any benefits if it doesn’t help to improve something.
But you can’t deny the fact, that over at KVR people are following “blindly”, as Darcy pointed out. 😉
I agree with what you said about “improving things”. But again, it is a matter of taste. The users will decide for themselves.

PodianerI don’t like Reaper at all! I think the “hype” is caused by the fact that it is free. People want to say: “Hey I have a free host, and it is even better than the big ones”. Perhaps there is something true to what they say. It should make Steinberg or Apple think about some aspects of their products.
Podium has a bundle of qualities. Frits implemented these qualities (features) during the years, and thus they are very well thought. It is different and unique, that’s why it has a learning curve for people like me, who worked a lot with Cubase. But I hope that some users here will make some video tutorials. That will make it easier for new users.
In the end, it is all a matter of taste.. But I doubt that the hype for Reaper will last longer than a few more months.. Even Tracktion, a great program, but in the end, it is lacking some critical features. And it will never be ready, because Mackie has a really bad bond with its customer base.
Cubase: Great host, but when it comes to really working with it, I found myself often angry about its crashes, its silly freeze feature and its really bad routing capabilities! Not to mention the non-draggable inserts. ALL these features are in Podium! And Podium is not at the end of its potential! If there was way more advertise on Frits’ side, Podium would be the killer! I have “learned” to love it.. I really liked it in the beginnning, but didn’t understand it that well. Now I really love it! And there is no looking back to Cubase or the buggy Tracktion 2!
I had several projects in Cubase that were corrupted somehow! I lost them!! 2 days ago, I couldn’t open a project in Podium. Frits fixed this. I waited only 1 day!! THAT was support! THAT is why I love Podium! You never feel alone with your problems! Tell that Steinberg 🙂
Ok, Reaper, at the moment, has a similar good support, but I only wanted to state my opinion on Steinberg.. 8)
PodianerAt the moment its another floating window which can be avoided by allowing the generic editor to be docked into the Track inspector.
That is possible already! At least with my version of Podium.. 😛 (press F5 on your plugin track; needs the native editor to be disabled)
Or do you mean that the native editor should be docked to the Podium UI? Perhaps I got you wrong on this..

If yes, I think that this feature would correspond to a different usage than the Bounce, and will be a good complement.
I agree with that, but it should really be a complement and not a replacement, because we Podium users have the most flexible bounce feature of any host I know! Look at Cubase’s freeze and you know what I mean!! 🙄

Having tried several other products I find the current adaption of Podium’s offline bounce at least as good as but often better than anything else out there.
me too!
PodianerGreat! Hope to see this soon! 😆
