My comments:

In the ‘Audio and MIDI mappings’ section you write: “click the Create audio mixer mappings button and now you can use audio inputs and outputs in your project”. This could perhaps be slightly misleading, since clicking this button does not create mappings for the audio inputs. Later on you describe correctly how to create the audio input mappings.

In the ‘Adjusting the playback area’ section, you write about the record region, and that it defines the range for recordings. Maybe it should be noted that this range is only in effect if any of the two punch in/out buttons are selected.

You write: “The Record region is always on top of the Playback region”, and you then give instructions on how to get rid of the record region to be able to get to the loop region. The C/S/P/L buttons (and their related context menus) were designed to handle this. Select the ‘L’ button and the loop region will be drawn on top, and you won’t have to drag the punch in/out bar aside.

I really like the style and format of your quick start guide. I think a lot of users will find this useful. Thanks for your efforts so far.

Glad you like the style of it Fritz – and I’m happy to help, I’d really like to see more people use Podium because once they understand how it works I think they’ll be very impressed (like us current users!)

Thanks for your notes – you’ve taught me a couple of things I didn’t know (ie C S P L buttons 😉 )

Will get back onto the guide after Christmas, but until then have a happy christmas and new year everyone! 🙂

The first section “Setting up Podium” is pretty much complete 🙂
The second section “Creating your first song in Podium” is about 2/3rds completed
The last section is empty

Let me know what you think… keep in mind this is just the first basic draft, and it needs stuff to be added 🙂 (and there are probably typos)

Note: I will also spilt each section into smaller pages (rather than having each on one large page)

I’ve put it on my personal webspace, but can the final version go on the Zynewave site Fritz?

That explains that behaviour!!!

I aim to use control+click to set default values where it makes sense. I.e. curve & velocity editing and dials in the mixer.

How about CTRL+SHIFT…

Combinations of Ctrl+Shift+Alt are shortcuts for the three zoom tools + the slide tool.

even an option button along with the one that only affects the selected notes

Yes, I will probably put an edit mode button there that toggles between absolute and relative editing. Shift key can then be used to edit velocity for all selected events.

reading this again – isn’t this what we want anyway?

What I had in mind with the relative edit mode, was still to edit individual notes. You could click in the editor, drag in a straight line along the x axis, and nothing would change. If you however also move the mouse up or down while dragging along x, you could create variations in velocity. Hope that makes sense.

this all sounds great 8)

I will also try 1.20 with Kubik to see what happens and will report back

The plugin is in beta and is called MicroDicer from concreteFX. It’s a beat slicing plugin and I’m heloing beta test. How bout I post back here when the full version is released? Anyway, MicroDicer can export midi so the work-around is just to load it using the file browser which is fine 8)

time to print ’em out and stick ’em on the wall 😉 on a big arse sheet of A2 paper 😆
