    oh…
    also a sticky note icon for track headers that have information on the sticky note.
    And, a “render selected tracks” as an alternative to
    the “render all…” command.

    ok, that’s 3.

    Got it. Thanks Fritz. Am liking the new updates.

    Erm…I can’t find the “Save As” button. As in for saving a new version of a project with a slightly different name or number. Am I missing the obvious? Any help welcome.

    I have another (slightly off topic) feature suggestion for 3.3. Would it be possible to add an option for colour coding the track markers? i.e. verses are red, choruses are blue (I know I know there’s a song in there somewhere 😉), bridge yellow etc.
    This would be immensely helpful when recording at a distance from the computer screen. I think that even if I had a young person’s eyes I would still struggle to read the markers from half way across the room, & it’s probably simple enough to code without taking time away from the main features of the update.
    Cheers.

    There are so many different ways of working within a DAW. I personally find samples to be overly static sounding, & avoid them for the most part in preference to “Romplers” which often provide round robin triggering, & allow for MIDI control.
    I am specifically referring to rubato – not a tempo automation curve, but literally a section of time where the musical phrase is played in an interpretive free time. For instance, the song stops for a moment, a little lick is played in free time & followed by the beat/bars becoming “a tempo” at the end of that section, such that a MIDI drum clip could kick back in at that point. An automation curve for tempo would certainly be useful, but your previous solution is closer to the mark for this situation. Cheers ☺

    Thanks Levendis. This is pretty much what I’m doing, & practically speaking, it works. Being somewhat “old school”, I actually rather like inventing workarounds. This was normal in the days before automation etc. The idea of just inserting a given amount of time in seconds, independent of bars & beats seems like a simple feature to implement, & certainly would find use in many genres. I wonder if it might be useful to survey Podium users to see how many people use strict bar/beat time & how many have a use for more organic time requirements. There are times when I’ve been producing,say, Hip Hop & it’s all tightly synchronized. Other times when I use Podium more like a digital tape machine with no adherence at all to the tempo grid.

    Thanks Fritz. I tried Podium x86, and Sample Tank 2 is 32 bit only, but still no go. And I have a policy of not dithering about with complicated problematic software. One of the reasons I love Podium in fact. Most of the sounds in question are orchestral, so I’m using my ears to re-assign patches in Sample Tank 3, based on earlier mixes. But still welcome any solutions.

    Oh – brilliant!
    Thanks Fritz.
    Podium is still my Number 1 DAW. Great to see its continued development.

    Erm…may as well do tempo strip as well 😀

    I once experienced a similar problem – not with Podium though. It’ likely something to do with how your audio is routed outside of Podium. Are you using ASIO, and if so, are you using ASIO4ALL as a driver? And, what soundcard are you using? Check all these and make adjustments where necessary.

    A couple of classic synth emulations:
    OBX-d from discoDSP
    Mono/Fury V2 from Full Bucket Music

    It might be the driver for the Behringer unit. Do you have ASIO4All? It’s a universal audio driver that solves a surprising number of problems. With that installed Podium may be able to use it as an alternative to the Behringer, which may be causing the glitch.

    Hmmm. You don’t say which synth you are using. I too have been exploring A432 recently, but with string instruments. In the old days hardware synths had a tuning dial, not sure about soft synths though. It might take a bit of searching, but I suspect you will have to find one that offers this ability. It’s a bit of a conundrum. But imagine what has to be done to get my harmonicas to play at 432! As mentioned above, 432hz = a drop of 31/32 cents. The most obvious solution I can think of is to detune your oscillators by this amount. Most synths have this capacity.

    Dude you change the tuning of your synth, not Podium.

    A little off topic with this, but could this update allow for multiple tracks to be selected & moved at the same time? If I import a bunch of, say, drum samples onto individual tracks, I then have to select them one by one to move to a drum group track. Not a big deal, until you have to repeat the same action 15 or 20 times. Just a workflow issue.
    And maybe I’ve missed this, but a shortcut to select all events on one track would help the workflow too.
    Thanks.
