UncleAgeI’d also like to add that I like the look and feel of the mixer in the new beta. And I like that I can click on a vst and the editor opens up. I don’t really see a need for the “E” button with this functionality present other than to make it look consistent with the track panel.

The huge amount of menu trawling was the main reason for me leaving Cubase and Sonar behind. It all got in the way of trying to quickly change things and carry on with recording.
I can definitely understand where you are coming from on this one. I think Frits is doing a decent job of walking that fine line though. On one hand we want more features and on the other, he needs to maintain the appearance of “simple”. Tough to do, really.
Most of the menu’s appear to be context sensitive when possible, with the global stuff buried a little deeper. It is starting to get that feel though and I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what is giving me that vibe.

Here is a link to my entry for a BPM magazine remix competition. Enjoy. 🙂
Never heard the origianl but I like what you have here. Sounds nice. Do you have any music out on the net that I can listen to?
UncleAge“I’ve got blisters on my fingers!” 😆
Got my first guitar at 12. Flying V, no less, from the JC Penny Xmas catalogue. After I got the intonation and action set is was a really nice guitar [heavy as hell though]. My first songbook was tablature [don’t laugh] a BeeGee’s songboook. Keep in mind this was about 28 years ago. I stole a few from my brothers and sister who played brass/wind instruments. After 8th grade I spent the summer with my brother who worked for the government in a division that developed computer imaging systems and software and stuff. They let me come in everyday and tool around in the lab. I got some schematics and built an overdrive, a distortion, a phaser and a tremelo pedal [4 in all, and all wire wrapped]. I think my next, and last “album” inspired songbook, was for Def Leppard’s Pyromania album. Those were good times 🙂
Seriously though, good luck with the new instrument. I never delved much into classical guitar. I preferred the jazz/rock/blues guys myself. I always wanted to be a combo of Steve Morse,Joe Pass and Stevie Ray Vaughan. And if not all of them then maybe just Joe Pass. Never got there though.
Can’t help you with the e-lessons but a video course I ran into a few years ago that I though was excellent for begining to intermediate players was Fretboard Logic. I struggled with a lot of the Mel Bay stuff during early years simply because I didn’t “get it”. I ran across the Fretboard Logic videos at a friends house and thought, damn, I wish I had had that to start off with. It was right in line with how I viewed/view the guitar and ridiculously simple to understand.
I’m playing a Schecter, no trem, nowadays [when I find time] and will probably play it for forever cause its a real good fit. Its always nice to hear that someone else has picked up the guitar.
Best of luck with that Frits.
UncleAgeUncleAgeThanks, I’ll give that solution a run through.
UncleAgeReviving old thread…
Consider this:
I use a technique when mixing vocals that separates certain frequency bands. I apply FX to each band separately. I don’t do this all the time but it does allow me to get a mix that sounds somewhat more dense/full when the arrangement is sparse. Funny thing is that I bought a guide recently that highlights this technique, however, the focus was for Reaper. I had done this type of mixing in Tracktion using racks for quite some time. It was a nice surprise to see the technique laid out in the guide.
With that said, I was looking forward to seeing zGrid added to Podium as it seemed as though it would give me the ability to send the dry signal along several different paths (parallel signal routes) and have in essence three or four separate FX chains (running in serial) affecting each band of frequencies separately.
Frits I know you have been busy with improvements but I have to ask…
Is zGrid still on the table for development?
Will it help me achieve the goal above?
Will we see it by the end of the year?
Will it have the ability to “input from” or “output to” other tracks?
Will it process audio & midi?
Will it have a drag & drop UI?
Have you changed your mind about providing functionality for multi-out Vsti’s?
I know some of the above questions were discussed earlier in the thread but its been a while (almost a year) since the last input on this thread and I’m hoping you can give us an update, as well as a glimpse into the scope of what this major addition would cover.
Thanks 🙂

Maybe some sort of warning (that floats on top of any existing windows) can alert a user to “please close existing Rewire devices before opening another project”. Also maybe not even allowing a user to open a new project until they have closed open Rewire Devices, I think some other hosts operate that way….with a short warning.
Is there a way to send a Rewire slave an auto close command from the Rewire master?
UncleAgeAnother case for reduction in clicks is tempo changes. I’d like to left-click+drag to change the tempo instead of opening a dialog box. And a modifier key for finer adjustments would be welcome as well.

Beta4 is available.
While searching for a fix for this I had a good look at the entire multi-processing code and managed to optimize some parts of the code. The bug should be fixed, and CPU usage is slightly optimized (both with and without multiprocessing enabled). I would appreciate if you could check that this beta is playing your projects as expected. If all is ok, I’ll probably release 2.00 this week.
I loaded the Beta4 and the problem is gone, thanks 🙂
UncleAgeI’ll be able to check this out and report back to you tomorrow.
