Podium 3.4.5 had a fix related to copying single effect tracks. Maybe that is related to the issue you are seeing. The upcoming Podium 3.5 release includes a redesign/simplification of the internal track hierarchy structure, which may fix further issues.
I looked through the US-2400 manual. To work with Podium you need to configure the US-2400 to use Mackie MCU mode. Podium does not support HUI mode. It looks like US-2400 does not have buttons for all the MCU features. For example the automation mode buttons are missing, and those are the buttons that Podium use to toggle parameter track mode. You can change these modes manually by editing the Podium.ini setup file:
Select the “Setup/Explore Setup Folder” menu to open the folder where Podium.ini is saved.
Quit Podium.
Open Podium.ini in a text editor and search for “ShowParameterTracks”. It should be in the [ControlSurfaceGroup1] section.
Change that line to “ShowParameterTracks=0”.
Save the Podium.ini file and then restart Podium.
Hi. I searched for us24, but could only find links to Tascam products such as “Model 24” and “US-2400”. Please post a link to a product page so I know which mixer we are talking about.
I recently added support for the Presonus Faderport controllers, and at the same time made a revision of the Mackie Universal Controller support. The “Automation Read” button found on most MCU compatible controllers is now used to toggle “Show Parameter Tracks” option. If you open the Help panel in Podium and enable “Control Surface Help” option in the Help panel options Menu, the help panel will show descriptions when you press the buttons on your controller.
Hi Andrzej. Thanks for reporting that you got it working again.
Hi. Can you share a bit more info about your setup: Are you recording audio input? Which audio interface are you using? Make sure you are using an ASIO driver. Try increasing the buffer size in the ASIO driver settings and check if that reduces the problem with gaps in the recorded audio.
Just looked at this for the upcoming release, and found that there is an existing shortcut that may be faster: You can Ctrl+Click the Minimize Lane button in the bounce track header (or any visible effect track header) to hide the track lane.
Thanks for reporting this bug. It is fixed for the next version.
Hello monomoon, and welcome 🙂
Cheers,

Hi,
Thanks for notifying me. This is not user-error. This feature unfortunately seems to have been disabled in a recent update I made to the inspector rack. I’ve now fixed this for the next version, so that the rack editors will be available again. Sorry about the confusion.
Cheers,
Frits
Podium and Podium Free by default store their setup files in different folders so that you can have both installed at the same time. Check that your setup for Podium matches the setup you were using with Podium Free. If strange things happen when you use a MIDI controller it can be because you accidentally have selected the MIDI input on the Control Surface page.
Hi. Does it fail only when you try to download from your account page, or does it also fail when downloading the latest version from the https://zynewave.com/podium-free/ page? The latest version should also work on XP.
Which definition files are you referring to?
I have begun updating the code to allow for multiple plugin formats. It’s taking some time because I want to get it right and make it future proof for new formats. The code for VST2 support is quite ugly in places, as a result of 20+ years of having to add special checks for various VST2 plugins that deviate in their interpretation of the VST2 standard. I would like to avoid having to repeat that with VST3 support. VST3 support in Podium is still some months away.
