    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.

    Besides the mono and stereo versions, Podium should have detected and created mappings for one multi-input instance (labeled SPAN #1). It appears you have to reconfigure these by hand; make sure the devices of the “shared instance” all have audio inputs and outputs set. You can delete the superfluous MIDI mappings. See picture:

    Now you should be able to insert these mappings onto tracks:

    If you need another instance of a multi-input SPAN, right-click the folder containing the mappings (in the “devices” panel on the project page or the inspector) and select “New Instance”.

    Hope this helps.

    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.

    Waveforms become “squashed” like that when the sound is heavily compressed, distorted, or clipping. If it’s clipping you’d probably notice pretty harsh distortion. As long as it doesn’t sound bad to you there’s nothing inherently wrong with how it looks.

    I see you have the volume slider on your guitar track all the way down. Perhaps it’d be a good idea to lower the output of your instrument (DSK SoundFont player?) instead. That way you can use the track volume slider’s full range and won’t be limited to the bottom ~10% when you want to make small changes in the mix.

    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!

    Told you JavaScript was the devil, and I know him well enough! 😉

    I don’t know how involved it is to switch WordPress themes nowadays, but I’d rather have a minimal website without all the fancy stuff that is prone to breaking, and more time for you to spend on Podium. Doesn’t sound like you enjoy fixing the thing either…

    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.).

    in reply to: Do you even scales bro? #29267

    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.

    Changelog for beta2:
    […]
    Fix: Layout of some dialogs did not adjust correctly to the Windows DPI scaling setting.

    Some text is still cut off for me at 125% DPI setting, for example:
    – “Note: new sounds on bounce tracks will use the engine bit” (Preferences/Engine)
    – “Automatically search for missing plugins when loading a projec” (Preferences/Plugins)
    – “Panel texture image file (leave blank to use” (Preferences/Appearance)

    Windows 8.1, Podium 3.2.5 beta 3 (both 64-bit).

    in reply to: Audio not recording, any advice? #25348

    I can confirm this. Multi-take recording doesn’t work with auto-assigned inputs; it’s probably a bug. I suggest manually assigning your input to the composite track (the parent group track of your “take” tracks) until it gets fixed.
