It always seems odd to me when someone says, “I wish Poduim was more like DAW X”. I see Podium as the alternative to DAW X. If I wanted DAW X, that’s the one I would use. I know, some will say “take what works in DAW X, Y and Z and put them together”, but I like the fact that Podium has its’ own way of doing things, for those of us that don’t like X, Y, or Z.
I have to agree to this. It’s a bit odd to want this unique program to become some sort of a collected sum of other apps. If I want the features in e.g. Ableton Live then I’ll use Live and not Podium. Personally I used Live for about an hour and then it got kicked out. It just didn’t work for me. I could still mail them (Ableton) and ask them to add features found in Podium though, make it more like Podium… 😉
We are dealing with a professional software here, “Podium, a professional music production software solution” (from the front page) and a professional software isn’t always easy to understand, yet master, at least not in the beginning. It just takes some commitment. Try to learn editing on the Avid system, modelling in Softimage (XSI) or make music in ProTools and you see what I mean. I don’t find Podium difficult at all compared to the learning curve some of these got.
