OK we are post 2.09 so is this on the roadmap for a fix yet? I’m sorry to have to keep bringing this up but please understand that the current implementation basically makes recording synths with automation unworkable for me at present and I see this as a very serious issue – to show how serious I took this screenshot which I hope demonstrates the extent of the problem

here I think it is plain to see in this relatively simple sequence example every time I adjust the cutoff and then switch to the res knob, the cutoff drops to zero and every time I adjust the res and then switch back to cutoff it does the same – all the time having the cutoff at zero makes the sound silent so I would hastily adjust it back only to then have the res drop down and have to be corrected. It’s like I was fighting the host all the way and this is just a simple example.

This is not a bug with this particular VSTi (Korg Legacy Cell) – I have encountered similar behaviour with every synth and effect I have tried to automate and I chose LC as the example as it is widely known to be a stable and well established “classic VSTi. No host should do this – it takes away control from the musician – not one of those drops to zero in either param was intentional and even if I could edit them out afterwards the whole flow of the track and of my playing was ruined.

Did you record the MIDI notes and the knob automation at the same time?

I assume that the curve sequences were not set to the full length of the arrangement from the start, but rather gradually extended as recording progressed?

When Podium is started, no plugins are loaded into memory. That only happens when you do a scan, import plugins or when you power on an arrangement which will load plugins assigned to tracks.

Does the crash happen before the main Podium window appears?

Most likely causes for crashes at this point, is the initialization of MIDI and audio interfaces, and possibly the ReWire system dll.

Could you post or email a report of your interfaces? (Generated from the Report page in the interfaces dialog).

One thing I would like you to try, is to disable any MIDI inputs and outputs you have enabled, and check if the crash still occurs when starting Podium. That may help narrow down the cause for the crash.

Please, how can I avoid this? I thought that default value was the value that the knob had in the moment of the creation of the automation track. At least with other VST/Parameters I hadn’t got this problem and the default value was always the value which I create the automation track.

The problem here is that this method of creating a parameter track does not also create a curve sequence on the track. So the current plugin value is not retrieved, as it is done when you create the parameter track by recording knob changes in the plugin editor. You can get around your problem by manually drawing in a curve sequence on the track before starting playback. I’ll change this so that a curve sequence is automatically created when you manually add the automation tracks.

I’ve now implemented this change for the upcoming 2.10 release:

Creating a new plugin parameter track from the inspector parameter panel or the track context menu, will also create a curve sequence on the track. The current plugin parameter value is set as the starting point in the curve sequence.

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.

I’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.

Tracktion 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.

I don’t even see any down grid lines – how do you activate them?

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.

I don’t mind at all that you do that Podium snap to grid space, I like it even

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