I ordered it on their site. International shipping is 2 euro extra. So it’s about 7.9 to get it shipped anywhere in the world (instead of the german 5.8 euro price)
I wanted to get this as well but it’s difficult for me to navigate the site because I dont understand German.
UncleAgeConquistador, as with every DAW, either it clicks or it doesn’t. For me Tracktion clicked. I never expected Podium to be like this. And even though I have never understood why almost every app has all that stuff in the track panel area I figured it was just me with the problem as most others were used to it. Or more like, it’s just that some people’s brain just processes things differently. Me, I will always appreciate the simplicity and depth of Tracktion.
See, everyone wants the added features but they want the devs to figure out how to keep them hidden until needed. For me, Tracktion did that. And to be honest I have never gotten a thing from the “hierarchy” layout of Podium. I use Podium because it’s always been stable and interface is comfortable to look at for long periods of time (not that overly bright crayon appearance of Tracktion). And I wanted to support a dev that I thought was doing an outstanding job (even if I didn’t always agree with the direction that app was taking). In the end, I just always worked around the hierarchy part.
Do I love the interface and workflow in T3? Absolutely! But I don’t want either app to try and be like the other. I think Podium has come a long way. What I’d really like to know is where does Frits see it going, over time?
UncleAgeUncleAgeFirst off, hi Rob and welcome to the forum 🙂

Podium won’t replace Reaper (for me, at least)
I bounce back and forth between the two. And I haven’t found a way to put Live down yet. I use Live for quick mockups because of the dead simple midi routing. It has a couple of other features I like as well. But when I’m done sketching out my stuff I render everything and come back to Reaper or Podium to finish things up.
I know routing midi, plug to plug, is coming eventually so I’m waiting patiently 🙂
UncleAgeYes, the U-biks are getting more and more use in my setup. I can’t wait to see what else he has up his sleeve.
UncleAgeI grabbed it earlier today too. Even thoguh I have Runciter I figured this was a no-brainer purchase.
UncleAge1st and foremost, I like it. I’ve given it about 10 replays. So first off I’ll say, Nice Job man!
A few points:
@ 2:23 I like the modulation/transposition
@ 2:31 I like the breakdown
@ 2:50 I think the silence and reset is anti-climatic
The very nature of the tune (to me) means that some elements will be repetitive. And you break it up nicely. But after the break/bridge @ 2:36 I was looking for more. More what? I dunno… IMO, the breakdown is the setup for the climax and everything up until 2:50 keeps me onboard. However, after that I found myself either wanting to rewind back to around 1:20 and play it again or move on to the next tune (whatever that might be). There wasn’t enough to keep me tuned in as I keep thinking the new motif should go somewhere (and I’m willing to follow) but it doesn’t. At least not for me it doesn’t. Now if their is a visual aspect to this and not just an audio journey then I can see where it all might work out nicely. As a matter of fact as a soundtrack to short film or similiar I can see the many pauses/breaks working out well.
I’m going to give the rest a listen tonight. And I hope you don’t mind me sharing my thoughts 🙂
UncleAgeKontakt is sold. Battery is still available.
UncleAgeDownloading it now. I’ll spin it a few times at work today and get back to you.
Thanks Steve

Sad, but true.
UncleAgeI like it. Reminds me of some of the stuff I listen to over at SomaFM. Post again if you have an update to it.
UncleAgeGood to hear your back 8)
UncleAgeAnd without a doubt, Peter Molyneux and Sid Meier’s are the two great minds that I respect the most in gaming land.

I am more into Soccer games here, Fifa/ Fifa Manager (based across the pond in the UK). Having said that I am surprised you did not mention the John Madden Series of games as they are very well known even over here and seem to be extremely popular. Not to your liking? 🙂
I always loved the Fifa soccer games. However, we always felt most of the Madden stuff for years was for rookies that couldn’t get the nuances of the small, precisely timed things you had to do in the Sega and ESPN sports games. They were fun but ultimately too easy.
UncleAgeMan about 18-20 years ago I was buying everything like a big kid with just that thought in mind. I had the Turbo Grafix 16, Neo-Geo, Jaguar, everything Sega and everything Nintendo. Heck, I still had the hand-held Mattel football game from when I was little (and yeah I had the Gambino as well). When I got the Playstation I sold or gave away all of it.
When I bought the Xbox I had for a couple of days playing the Golf and Gotham Racing. I gave the Playstation to a friend who’s boyfriend left and stole the Xmas cash leaving her with two small boys and no money for rent or presents. I gave the two boys my system and about 35 games. And never looked back.
Now I have too many things on my plate (read: girlfriend that I want to keep) to play games anymore. It sucks too. But this thread has brought up some fond memories for sure.
p.s. I just remembered… When the first Mike Ditka football came out on Sega (I think) me and my arch rival in video games put down the battle axes for a day. Mike D. football was the first to allow two people to play on the same side (with full play calling and pretty decent control over the players) and we played a whole season switching the QB position every half. Oh, and we did it in 24 hours playing straight thru with about 4 pizzas and a case of rootbeer. Man I got give that guy a call…
Ok back on topic 😆
