…As I see it, what you achieve with the “from” combobox on a track, is that you move the setup of send/return entirely to the target track. You get an implicit return on the target track, and a hidden send on the source track.

Yes, I agree.

Q: It looks like the Reaper routing window allows to mix the output from multiple tracks onto a single target track.

Yes, I failed to show that part. But in the picture below you can see that a single track can have multiple sends coming in.

Can you do that in Live also with the combobox?

Sort of… Each track can have sends (hidden in the picture below) to the FX/Return tracks. And they can also have their output directed to a track other than the Master Output. In the picture below you can see tracks 1 & 2 feeding track 4. And the option to feed only the sends (read: FX/Returns) is available as well. And there is one more thing to notice in the picture. After the drop-down box “4-Audio” there is another window “Track In”. That window will list all effects on the receiving track that can accept an audio feed as well. This function helps in directing audio to a compressor (for instance) as a side-chain feed.

First off, I gotta give you mad props on this one Fritz! This adds a very nice touch to Podium.

1. I second the idea about ticking the parameters off that would appear in the editor. In addition it would be nice to have a way to save those for that particular plugin if possible.

2. There are columns of parameters beyond the edge of the screen when I click on Zebra. (as noted above)

3. S & M would be fine.

4. No sluggish behavior noticed so far.

And as Emeril would say, if you wanna kick it up a notch… Allow users to make custom editors for their favorite plugs! This could work as long as those making the editors agree to make them public so that we all could use them. I don’t know if you’re game for that kind of idea but with a few controls like the graph, xy pad some dials and switches I’m sure that there’s a few in here that could really make some kick ass custom editors 🙂

Again, a minor bug: Use scroll-wheel while hovering over a slider for the value pop-up to become stuck until you move the mouse a little.

You are probably worth your weight in gold as an alpha/beta tester 😛

Can you say more about this statement?

Also, I guess it’s been so long since I used it that I forgot you can’t route midi around in T3 like that. I used to get around this shortcoming by using Sony’s virtual midi ports and another plug/prog.

So in short, no, a T3 rack wouldn’t help in that regard. It just allows for FX chains that can route audio in serial or parallel like the following pic (red lines are Midi and grey lines are Audio)…

You would then place an instance on any tracks that you wanted. So if you wanted to mix the outputs of each FX separately you place three of these one three separate tracks and mix away. Or you could add volume and pan controls into the rack and mix everything right there setting all outputs to one stereo pair.

@thcilnnahoj: I’ll put up some screenshots in about an hour or two when I get home of the T3 racks.

@Fritz: Maybe it could be possible to just allow a track (destination) to use any other tracks as as source as long as that track (source) was not a parent track or higher in the same group hierarchy. That should eliminate feedback loops. And it’s almost similiar to allowing just about any track to work as a send, understanding there would be no return as the audio would just route up through the hierarchy. Now I could see a menu displaying such as being quite long or quite messy but it’s just an initial thought…

Right now Sends/Returns are pretty static. In this concept what I am trying to describe is somewhat of a patchbay that would eliminate parent tracks as a possible source. Or maybe I’m just trying to convey the logic behind it, I dunno, it’s been a loooong day for me 😉

In Live each Simpler is basically playing different parts of the same sample file. It doesn’t actually split it into separate wav’s. So if you wanted to move the start point of the third slice backwards, to where it would have a start point that was before the end point of the second slice, you could do so.
