How can you change soundcard/drivers within an arrangement? It seems that if i change “midi/audio interfaces” the in- and outputs within the arrangement do not change. How can i do that?

I assume you want to select another ASIO driver in the interfaces dialog, and use that instead with your existing project. That will work, except that the channel names of the new driver will not be updated in your audio input/output mappings. But you should still be able to play the arrangement using the new ASIO driver.

If you want the audio mapping names to match the new driver, then you should create a new project using the new ASIO driver, save that as a template, open your old project, and then use the “project templates/load device setup” submenu to replace your device setup with the template you saved.

But I’m stuck with older hardware, and Podium is too slow (I’m speaking primarily of the audio engine, not the UI).

I’ve spent a lot of time optimizing the audio engine over the years, to the extent that I feel any further attempts on optimization will yield only minor improvements. Do you find the performance inferior compared to other DAW apps? If so, then how did you make the comparison?

Closing should not take this long.

Were you saving the project when the delay occured?

Please try these things before closing Podium and check which step is the cause for the delay:

Switch off the power button in your arrangement. It could be the unloading of plugins that takes time.

Select “new project” from the project menu, to remove your current project from memory.

Now exit Podium. Still a long delay?

Used to Avid’s way of snap cursor to cut and snap cut to cursor by pressing CTRL I haven’t found that in Podium which makes moving cuts from one track to another a bit tricky. I can’t use the usual snap because then I’ll get out of sync in no time. Is there already a way of doing this, snapping to the inividual cuts/audio files or to the cursor or will there be?

I really would like to be able to do the whole audio part for movies in Podium. Can’t be beaten!

I’m planning a “snap” feature update soon. This will include options to snap to the edit cursor or start/end of other events on the tracks.

I don’t know if it will help you, but if you hold the shift key while dragging events you can lock either the x or y position of the events.

I just did – NI Kore (midi and audio)

So do you have exactly one Kore MIDI input and one Kore MIDI output enabled, and no other MIDI interfaces?

When I asked for a “report”, I’m referring to the text file you can generate on the “Report” page in the interfaces dialog. It contains technical details that may help me.

How about error logging? Can it do that?

There is no error logging in Podium that can catch this type of crash.

How about that interface report? Can you post or email it?

Can you list the MIDI input and output interfaces that you have enabled?

Yes that is how I always do it – I record as I play. Therefore I don’t (can’t) set the lane length in advance

I don’t get it tho, I just re-tested 2.09 and on my setup and the parameter event automatically extends beyond the midi track events and the controls do not drop to zero?

The curve events are set to the total length of the arrangement. You probably have some events on other tracks that extend beyond your recording range.

I have no personal experience with VideoVST, so can’t help you there.

how does Podium handle the ‘bouncing’ of the surround audio files? do you have to bounce one by one. batch?

Depends on what you mean by “one by one”. Surround sound files are bounced exactly the same way as mono or stereo files.
