Hello, in case you aren’t aware IL sells Drumaxx at 9€ for limited time. It’s a cool plugin 😉

I picked it up and I did the same with Harmless as well when it was first offered. Over at KVR JMC mentioned they had a lot of success with the Harmless experiment. If they see the same with Drumaxx then we might see quite a few cool IL plugs come out at rock-bottom prices.
UncleAgeUncleAgeUncleAgeI never found out why it worked either. I assumed it had something to do with the direct x version and the video card drivers. Of course it could be some other library as well. Only Frits would know for sure. Glad to hear it helped a bit.
UncleAgesam, I don’t want to detour the help you are already getting but…
I had a similar problem a couple of years ago in another app. What sparked the memory was your mention of the cursor issue. For some reason my comp was having issues and the all revolved around the cursor. The program was drawing its own cursor instead using a system cursor (I have no idea how Podium handles this) and the only way to resolve it was to reduce the hardware acceleration of the video card. I could do it from the desktop using the display settings.
Some time later Nvidia updated the drivers for my card and the problems went away but knocking the slider down a couple of ticks did the job in the meanwhile. Not sure if this is the issue for you but I thought I would mention it since your issue reminds me of that one.
UncleAgeAnd I would also add that yes, I do have problems with the midi timing in S1 as well. I am still working with the devs to iron it out.
UncleAgeI got home a bit late last night and couldn’t try this out. But I did a similiar test for the devs at Presonus. I’ll get to it tonight I’m sure.
In the meantime, I believe that you are discussing two different issues. Midi jitter and recording “what you hear” instead of “what you played” are two separate issues. And really there is the third issue of latency introduced at the host level, if any.
Midi jitter I’ve seen discussed many, many times over at Gearslutz. Its a fact of life for most of us unless you can get the really good hardware and get everything synced to a good clock. I’ve even noticed different time stamps on the midi data depending on whether I use the USB port versus my midi input on my Pro40. It really is an issue that I should give more attention to.
Recording “what you hear” instead of “what you played” has been discussed to death over at the Ableton forums. This is because the Abe’s made a decision a long time ago to have the app record what you hear. And as far as I know they are the only major/minor host that does that. A lot of users don’t agree but the Abe’s went to great lenght to explain why they had to do it that way to make the Live app work, well, “live”.
Now if Podium is introducing delay (not the plugins) then that would be an issue to address on its own as well.
I’ll give your test a shot tonight. Thanks for the reply.
UncleAgezamrate, I’d like to duplicate your test. Can you give a detailed signal chain for me to reproduce?
UncleAgeSo far so good but…

I see the effect in the tracks region but not in the mixer.
UncleAgere: Big Transport
Two weeks ago I had a special tracking session for some local improv artists. My setup is really geared towards voice-over and post prod work. And in those situations it works best for no more than two clients at a time. This scenario had three. And none of them had done any recording in a structured environment.
I used the Big Transport as a visual indicator for everyone so they would know where to break things up. I didn’t want to do a 2 hour session straight through as it leaves the door open to possible problems. I also needed them to feel comfortable enough so that they would have a good flow to their performance. We worked out the loose outline ahead of time and recorded things in 30 minute segments.
The Big Transport was a big help as you could see it easily 8-feet away and it was far less of a distraction than me trying to signal the group with some sort of countdown. As always, ymmv…
UncleAgeTag or catagory may be what it is but it’s function is to filter. So my vote is to call it “filter”. And the tag idea for the browser is a good one.

1. Is there a way to add multiple tracks at once with the “+” button on the toolbar?
Not currently. Clicking will open the track properties dialog, for naming the new track. If you need an initial number of tracks, isn’t it sufficient that you have the track setting in the “new arrangement” dialog?
Well… for once, I would take a guess most people don’t know exactly how many tracks it’s going to be in the end. That may be a kind of user error, but it still happens. The situation I sometimes find myself in personally is drum tracks. You can’t specify things like “create 2 group tracks, one with 8, the other with 6 child tracks” in the new arrangement dialog.
Maybe this is best done with track templates… I do however see multiple track creation as a rather basic function. Either way, that’s my opinion on it.Whenever I need a set of new tracks, I create one track, press Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V for each additional track. As long as the number of required new tracks are below 10, I think this is a faster process than selecting a “Create X new tracks” menu command to show a dialog, inputting the decimal value, and pressing enter. Using copy/paste you also preserve track settings and the effect chain. But I don’t mind adding the menu as there seems to be a demand for it. What should the menu command be called, and where would you want it?
Two things:
1. I would want it in the same menu that has “Add New Track”. So, “Add Multiple Tracks” could be the next option. This would work if…
a. The tracks would numerate automatically
b. A user could select multiple tracks to drag into a group (or even via a context menu)
I see the appeal of copy/paste but it does have the small (and I mean ever so small) downside of giving each track an identical name. Also, right-clicking 15 tracks to add them to a group is not quite as appealing as selecting all of them and doing the same thing in one step.
I can also see an advantage of not filling up this thread with suggestions for this request and moving it to its own thread. I think several users would like input on this feature and it may need its own area for discussion.

1. Would this “filter” also act on the mixer tracks as well?
Yes, I think so. Perhaps there are situations where you prefer the mixer to always show all tracks, so maybe I’ll make category show/hide optional in the mixer.
Makes sense.

I ask because I found this to be most useful when working in the mixer section. It was handy while drawing automation in the tracks as well but after the project was compete I had used this feature most during the first part of mixing the tracks.
I haven’t decided yet whether clicking a category button should automatically deselect other selected categories. You would then use shift+click to select a category without deselecting the others.
Sounds reasonable.

What is the other DAW you refer to?
Reaper has functionality to filter tracks in the mixer and track section. However, your suggested implementation seems to be more polished and definitely more intuitive.
This is something that hadn’t been an issue for me until I had a project with a lot of tracks (well, to me it was a lot). And I definitely got some use out of it. Can’t wait to try out your take on this feature.
UncleAgeWhen I was doing a larger mix a few months ago I used something like this in another app and it really sped up the process for me. I could work on getting the drums to gel without the many vocal/guitar tracks cluttering up the landscape. And vice/versa for the other tracks.
What you are planning to do differs visually. Here’s a few thoughts…

UncleAgeFirst off thanks for the change made to track height when opening an editor window.

• Added a favorite folder “+” button to the file browser toolbar.
I clicked the Browser button. The area already had 3 favorite buttons in place. Next I kept clicking the “+” button until there were 9 favorites added, all of the them the same folder. When I did this a couple of things seemed strange.
1. The “+” button disappeared. Now maybe this is ok since there wasn’t any room left in that area for another button. And I have no problem with the arbitrary number of 9 for favorites, but…
2. All of the “newly added” buttons were highlighted, seemingly as a group. So selecting any of them selected all of them.
3. I could not find a way to delete any of the favorite buttons. Any of them.
Obviously some part of this is a bug.
