Sorry to hear…
Just take as long as you need, and remember whenever you’re back, you’ll have dozens of great new things to try in Podium.
Wish you good luck and happiness!
Just spinning my wheels here… if this (global SMR buttons) came to fruition sometime, it’d be a good place to put some more functions like the track menu, which I think the very bottom of the track list isn’t the optimal place for.
In this example, I removed the ‘last passed’ marker, tempo and scale info text, as I don’t think they’re vitally needed. (Maybe scale info could be added to the tempo panel on the transport bar.)
1. Menu contains: create track(s); track templates; minimize tracks; expand all groups; track region properties (and some personal wishes: show effect chain; show gain/pan controls; show navigator/timeline/marker/tempo regions)
2. Create New Track(s)
3. Create Child Track(s) (in new group or for currently selected track)
Sorry for bumping an old thread like this, but I’m interested, so bring out your ideas!
Ha! There I was, just about to post suggestions only to find they’re already taken care of.
Clicking in the navigator outside the zoom pane sets the zoom range centered around the clicked position.
Would it be possible to have it also work with clicking inside the zoom pane, or does this interfere with click-dragging?
Double-clicking zooms out to the full range.
Love it! Add to this: when fully zoomed out, double clicking should return to the previous zoom range.
Also (this might be out of your hand with current color options), it’d be nice to have a little more contrast on the zoom pane/handles, as visibility isn’t great with a dark-on-dark color scheme.
Maybe your browser doesn’t display PNG images correctly or something, it’s definitely working fine here!
There’s also the legendary ‘TAB to transient’ to consider, which Pro Tools users seem to be very fond of.
#-o Of course! I completely forgot automation events were created for the whole length of the arrangement! …So, are you going to fix this and enable expanding them at their starting point too, while you’re at it? O:)
Was there something changed in regards to resizing the start of automation events?
Because it does seem to work now with events already present in projects I created/saved with 2.14, but not on events added with the beta, nor with any events in a newly created project. I believe you couldn’t do it at all up until now (?).
Very clever and simple solution. Nod, nod.
Off to download it for testing in the evening!

Should the mouse-wheel then start moving the fader instead? Similar problem in the mixer.
It shouldn’t, imo, but it’s indeed tricky, as scrolling is most likely not one continuous motion. Maybe it’d work best if you could only scroll on the timeline, and no longer over the tracks.
Or somehow disable ‘hover-selection’ of controls during scrolling and re-enable it only after the mouse has been moved again after the user has stopped scrolling. Not sure if it would work, but I for one never move the mouse during scrolling, as far as I can tell.
I don’t see this problem with the mixer, though. I can’t imagine anyone using the lowest ‘region height’ setting, so you’ll never have to scroll vertically. For horizontal scrolling, holding shift is required and I’d say that switches the scroll wheel into a mode that should ignore everything the cursor might pass over.

I kind of like it. Instead of having to multiple tab through things […] you can just jump directly to it.
Are you talking about F6/F7 or the Inspector (F1-5)? If it’s the latter, I’m curious why you’d want to select one of those in particular.
And two hits to close it? Makes sense to me; if I’m trying to go to a window, I’m going to look at it, otherwise why would I want to focus on it? And if I’m doing that, I will know whether it’s open or not. So when my eyes flick to where it expects it, if it is already open and I want it closed, I press twice.
Naturally, yes. If you always had to do two strokes to close it, that’d be fine. But what if it’s already focussed… You’d close and reopen it!
Sure you can see if it is indeed selected beforehand, but I tend to look at the sequence I plan to edit, not the titlebar.
For example: I select a MIDI clip, press F6, change something -> F6 once again to close.
If I select some other MIDI clip right after editing, I still keep looking at the editor – but it’s no longer focussed. And when I come to the conclusion I don’t want to edit it after all I must press F6 twice.
Color me stupid, but it so often happens that I don’t get it right.
So I’m asking if there is a need to specifically select an editor by keyboard. The only reason I can think of for ONLY selecting any editor/Inspector panel would be to use keyboard shortcuts. And the only one I can think of that even has some of those is the sequence editor, which would be selected on open/close anyway.
The other one’s supposed to be the ‘sick’ smiley, and I wanted to point out that I won’t have to suffer seeing him hurl!
But he’s not showing anyway… :-# :-& :-#

The F1 to F5 keys for the inspector also works like F6/F7, where they first set focus to the inspector panel (if not already in focus) before doing a close action.
Ahh– you’re right, I got it mixed up. It still begs the question for me if it’s really necessary for those keys to be used for selecting when you could always switch over to whichever tabs/editors are open with the TAB key.
It just creates a little hurdle in my personal workflow if I always have to take a millisecond out to check whether I have to press F6 once or twice this time (i.e. maybe I opened the piano roll and saw no need for change after all, therefore not selecting the editor). OK, it’s getting nitpicky now, but maybe you can see what I mean.
Late to the party… this’ll come in handy in future release threads! =P~ =P~ =P~
Unfortunately I have disabled animations in my browser, so I can only guess what this one does! :-& :-& :-&
