Hey, i have notice that when i have some VSTi OPEN and i tune knobs while song is playing, the space function wont work. Its pretty damn shit to tweak sound and then push to space to return maker and it wont work.

So far what do this is

Novation V-Station
NI Battery 3

Podium will react to the space bar key if the plugin does not intercept the key. Some plugin editors have been coded to use their own key shortcuts, and route unused keys to the host. I’m guessing that the plugins you mention uses the space bar key for something.

2.19 beta1 is now available. Please post your test results in the 2.19 preview topic in the future forum.

Take a look at ableton live sidechain feature. That is easy way.

Thanks. That’s a nice tutorial. I wish I had time and resources to do video tutorials like that for Podium.

The main difference between Podiums and Lives sidechain support, as I see it:

In Live you choose the sidechain input source track in the plugin editor on the compressed track. In Podium you insert the sidechain input on the source track. Two different approaches, each with their own pros and cons. It may be easier to do a simple side-chain setup with Live. With the Podium approach it is possible to set up multiple input tracks for the sidechain input (if for example you have multiple bass drum tracks). You can also add the sidechain input anywhere in the source track chain, and not just pre/post effects.

You can’t “scrub” in the sense that you will hear what you drag over, but if you enable the “link edit cursor to play cursor” option in the view menu, then playback will jump to where you release the dragged edit cursor.

Click with middle mouse button anywhere in the timeline regions.

Click and drag the top triangle of the edit/play cursor.

If you want a larger single-click area for dragging the cursor, you can modify the timeline ruler region:

Open the “editor profile properties” from the view menu. Open properties for the “timeline ruler – cursor” region. Disable the “left-click to slide timeline” option.

I will be disabling the UAC option in future builds of Podium. I found that when I rescanned my plugins with Podium 2.18, the Drumatic 3 plugin popped up module creation errors. Drumatic 3 is a SynthEdit plugin, and it will save some .sem module files in the plugin folder when it is being initialized. I don’t why SynthEdit is designed this way, but a lot of SynthEdit plugins do this.

I tried disabling the UAC option in the linker, and Drumatic 3 no longer shows errors when scanned. Hopefully this is the same issue as reported for Synth1 and Guru.
