Sorry, I don’t have any ideas how to solve this problem at the moment. As on your old computer, there shouldn’t be a problem with other programs producing sound at the same time as Podum unless they’re all running on ASIO drivers.

What sort of programs are you talking about – music/video players, web browsers?

There is a setting in the preferences (“Engine” tab, set to “Release drivers when Podium does not have focus”), though I’m not sure this is what you’re looking for.

Podium currently does not support sample rate conversion, you have to set your arrangement’s sample rate to match your audio files’ sample rate (most often 44.1 or 48 KHz).

You can set this in the “Arrangement Properties” dialog, accessible either from the arrangement context menu on the project page (right-click it in the middle column, select “Properties”), or from the menu bar on the arrangement page (“File -> Arrangement Properties”). Whenever you create a new arrangement, you are also asked to set the sample rate for it in the “New Arrangement Properties” dialog.

Hope this helps.

Are you using the “File” menu in the editor (bottom half of the window, where it says “Editor: Track 1”) or the arrangement (top half, right below the project tabs)? Try the one in the arrangement, that will create a mixdown of all tracks.

Also, it appears you’re using a MIDI output to control an external device to produce sound. In that case, you have to route its audio output back into Podium and record it. If you don’t use an external synthesizer or anything like that, the MIDI output by itself won’t produce any sound. You’ll need to use a VST instrument plugin if you want to create sound with just your computer.

Let me know if this helps!

Quick bug report, not related to beta features:

Minimize Podium while plugin windows are open, then restore it. The effect selectors’ “active state” color isn’t applied until the UI is refreshed in some way (change track values, change editor profile, open/close inspector, etc.).

Double-click a tempo event (above the tracks, the thing that says “4/4 120 bpm”). You can choose a scale from the list or enable notes to create a custom scale. You can edit the notes region editor profile to dim note lanes not belonging to your scale instead of dimming black keys’ lanes.

This is just a visual guide. The note editor (MIDI editor) will NOT force your input notes to the selected scale.
