Thanks.
Glad, the “closest grid line” snap remains in podium. 🙂
Would that approach make the independent time snap grid possible too?
The one where we could just pick a time snap grid and place any note value on it?
I don’t plan to implement the independent snap and duration settings this time round. I’m just finishing off some minor things on the piano roll, and then I’m going back to the stuff I was working on before the piano roll update. There’ll be another round of piano roll updates later on, when some of the other urgent feature requests have been dealt with.

Wouldn’t you know it, I got a crash!! And lost quite a few takes 😳
Any idea as to what caused the crash?
1 – Do audio files go somewhere that I could recover them?
No. The podium cache folder (as set in preferences) holds raw sound data that Podium flushes from memory, but much of your recordings could still be in memory only.
2 – At some point in future could we have an “Enabled Autosave” option? Obviously it would only do auto saving when you were not playing or recording to avoid audio dropouts etc.
For example is it easy to detect “Idle” time i.e. When podium isn’t being clicked on for > 1 sec and use that as the trigger the autosave.
Autosave is on the future plan.

Next time find a picture with flying tumbleweed instead, ok 😉
I don’t remember discussing tabs at the top of the inspector. I do remember talk about making the panels in the inspector individually draggable, so that you could e.g. view both the device and preset list simultaneously.

No. The guitar and violin are wallpaper images found at:

ZynewaveI’ve now replaced all the old screenshots. I’m going to contact kvr and ask if they can replace the screenshot they have in their database:

The current one must have been from the first 0.90 release from four years ago. It’s almost painful to look at :shock:. It makes me wonder how Podium is going to look four years from now.
ZynewaveTracktion has save commands for edits, because they are contained in separate files. Podium has separate save commands for sound objects because they are contained in separate wave files, but all other objects, including arrangements, are saved in the project file. Originally I was considering ways to embed even the sound files within the project file, but that would create a large redundancy if you use shared loop files in different projects.
It is not possible to save the project file, and yet not save changes to some arrangements in the project. Personally I’m quite happy with not having to worry about saving individual arrangements, and all the related pit falls with lost changes and unintentionally overwritten arrangement files, etc.

Interestingly though when loading a project form the Recent Projects: area there was no lock up or slow down. Are they different processes in Podium? Will the Recent Projects list cache projects in some way?
Loading projects by double-clicking in the recent projects list is no different from loading the file with the “Open Project” menu and file dialog.

Sounds to me like this is drifting a little 😕
Isn’t this FR basically as follows:
Change “New Uniquie copy” to “Save Unique Copy”, add the option for timestamp, rename or sticknote and make it available from the arrangement window?
I’d be pretty happy with that.
Well yes instead of “save as” it could be “save unique copy as” and I would be happy. The point is I would like to be able to do it as I go along and cumulatively, not in advance. I don’t really see the problem with this in itself.
No matter what I call the command, and even if it is included in the editor file menu, the behaviour will still be the same. Any edits you make to the arrangements in the project will be saved when you save the project. It would defeat the purpose of having an all-embracing project file, if your edits to arrangements are not saved unless you use a “save” command in the arrangement editor.
ZynewaveNucleum v0.96:
Compiled Nucleum with the latest SynthMaker v1.1.2.
The Nucleum startup time has been reduced by 75%.
Added the presets made by bladerunner to the default bank.

What do you mean with “down grid lines”?
If you enable “snap” then the quantize grid will be drawn instead of the arrangement time-signature grid.
Sorry I meant vertical – I can only see horizontal lines regardless of turning snap on/off
Check your zoom range. Either that or you are looking at an empty editor window that isn’t showing a sequence.

Are you saying you would prefer that I changed the current behaviour to snap to grid space instead of grid line?

ZynewaveThe current behaviour snaps to the grid line closest to the clicked point. What you would prefer is that it should always snap to the grid line to the left of the clicked point. In other words, I’m trying to click grid lines, while you’re trying to click the space between grid lines. I guess there are pros and cons for both these behaviours.
The snap position is shown in the toolbar mouse cursor display field. If you turn of snapping, then you’ll see the mouse position displayed as -50% to +50% around the closest grid line. If it should work like you preferred, then this display should show the grid position left of the mouse cursor and show percentages from 0% to 100% instead.
I would like to hear other users opinion on this. If the majority of users think the snapping to grid line instead of snapping to grid space is weird, then I don’t mind changing the snap behaviour.

I’m sorry but maybe I’m not being clear enough.
Are you saying that even if you make “new unique copies” that they would all be changed later-on to the current state of the current arrangement upon saving the project?
No, of course that is not happening.
If you use the “new phantom copy” then the copied arrangement will have phantom copies of all sequence and sound events. This means changes made to sequences in one arrangement will be mirrored in the other. The “phantom copy” arrangement can be useful if you want to try out different mixes of an arrangement while you’re still working on editing the sequences.
@aMUSEd: I agree with what swindus recommended, namely to make a unique copy before you start to edit the arrangement.
