So I really don’t see how you can get a virus, if you were to act in a similar way to me, and therefore I don’t see why you need one running, either.
You’re probably right about that… I’m the same and I, too, have yet to get hit with a virus. But since switching to a new PC a year back, I just didn’t bother to turn it off since it has no impact on performance whatsoever.
Strange that only Podium is affected somehow, by different anti-virus programs no less (I use Avira AntiVir – http://www.free-av.de).
Hello,
I actually have a similar experience. For me it takes just 4-5 seconds though, I can live with that… so I never brought it up.
In my case it’s irrelevant if a big arrangement is activated or if I create a blank one without plug-ins first. You got me curious and I’m pretty sure now it’s my anti-virus software ‘guard’ – upon disabling that, it’s down to 1 second.
Yay, there’s a screenie of my Nucleum example. 🙂
Thanks for the heads up, and… NICE background (and screen size, obviously :shock:)!
Yes, sorry I forgot to mention there are four seperate timeline rulers now.
In case you didn’t read up on the 2.07 changes, three (S, P, L) of the rulers are hidden by default, and only show when you need them. You can try it by activating loop-mode or punch-in/out.
You can, of course, also have the old way back by deleting the top three rulers and activating those three ‘Show … range’ options in the properties of the remaining ruler. Or just customize away, the options should be self explanatory. 🙂
Actually, I think it’s the other way around – you’re using an older setup on Vista and the setup on your XP machine is the (new) default setup.
Is the installation on your Vista PC a fresh one? If not, try to load the default setup from the setup menu.
BUT make a BACKUP first (Save Complete Setup).
The CSPL buttons ‘disappeared’ with version 2.07 and the default click actions for the timeline ruler changed. Playback is started with a double click on the middle mouse button, in this case.
To be able to start playback by double-left-click, you’ll have to disable the following option:
View – Editor Profile Properties – Timeline ruler – Properties – Left click to slide timeline.
Also, are you sure you right-clicked on the timeline ruler in your first screenshot? It looks more like the menu for the tracks region, which is of course the same on Vista.
I hope I’m not getting things messed up here, but Frits’ll surely correct me if I am. 😉
Yeah, the only effects are Nucleum’s internal ones and two zPEQs.
And as of now, it seems that my last gripe with this synth’s been fixed too: the startup time! 🙂
Down from a whopping 25 secs to 5-6 in my example project with 10 ‘Nuclei’.
Cool track you got there, Bladerunner! I especially like the industrial-like drums.
You gave me the idea to also make a short little example-thingy just with Nucleum.
It’s really an incredibly powerful synth… 😈
Now, I’m not really your full-on midi synths guy, but it was really fun trying out the new piano roll. Ahh, everything’s a breeze. 8)
So here you go: .pod project file, and an mp3
It turned out pretty cheesy but I hope someone’s gonna enjoy it nonetheless – it’s of course free to re-work, sample, … as long as it’s all good fun. 😉
I was just talking about the strip where the velocity bars are at, under of the piano roll. Dunno what you’d call it exactly. 🙂
Here, these two enable the option I meant.
When activated, you can only edit velocities of selected notes – useful when you have overlapping ones, like with drums!
Right-click on the piano keys, select Piano Roll Region Properties and uncheck ‘colorize notes with track colors’.
Either that or you have the ‘edit only selected events’ option enabled,
that’d be the last option in the right-click menu of the velocity view.
