Alright, this was somewhat overwhelming for the first minutes, it looked easier in the screenshots. However, after some trial-and-error in compact mode (I hereby second the need for a few tutorials, especially for newcomers) it turned out to be astonishing! 😉
Here are the little things I noticed so far (sorry if repeating something):
1- Is the whole panel enclosing the pan dial and its numeric value in the track header click-and-drag-able? Sometimes I struggle with the little dials 😳 , I usually resort to the bigger one in the mixer/inspector…
2- When shrinking a bottom-level track, its own mapping is hidden first (Track 1 in the picture below).
Would it be better if this track’s properties would continue to be visible and instead the chain were pushed upwards? Forgive my… clumsy… explanation, well, maybe you can get the idea from this picture:
I see this is partially achieved with the new pan and level controls staying at the bottom of the track header!
3- Is it me or is impossible to view the input mapping on track headers in compact mode?
4- I for one find the new set of luminance offset options rather limiting, I liked the way it was before.

The new fader looks good, but why is the horizontal line at the top of the fader button?
The horizontal line is what keeps the fader knob from falling to the bottom of the screen :wink:. It’s similar to the design in the mixer. There need to be an indication of the extent that the fader knob can move. I’ll try with a shadow frame instead.
I think what Podianer meant to ask is why the fader doesn’t move on the middle of the line, as on a real mixing board.
(Like this:
…But then I checked, and the vertical faders in Podium’s mixer look like this too – I never noticed, so it’s quite alright the way it is.)
All in all, good work! It’s certainly not a waste of time. 🙂
