ZynewaveDid you get this issue resolved? On my machine there is no problem with downloading. If possible, try using a different browser.
ZynewaveYou should not assign the Kontakt instance to the group track, but instead assign the MIDI and audio channel mappings to child tracks within the group track. You can set that up quickly by dragging e.g. the ‘Kontakt 5 #1’ folder from the devices panel onto the blank area below the last track lane. If you need multiple global Kontakt instances, or special arrangements of mono/stereo channels, you’ll need to use the ‘New Instance’ context menu and edit the mappings within the instances.
ZynewaveI’ve given it some thought, and at the moment I think changing the behavior of the parameter track record toggle buttons will make things too complex. Maybe you are familiar with the ’embedded editor parameters’ feature, that you can enable with the check button in the inspector parameter panel. This allows you to add parameter controls to the mixer strips that are not automated, but at the moment these parameters are not available on control surfaces. This would be the better solution I think, so I would prefer not to implement workarounds on the parameter track behavior. Unfortunately extending the control surface support is still quite low on my todo list.
ZynewaveI also have a separate question: Do we as users own all rights to the music we create in the Free version?
Of course you do, at least concerning Podium Free. You’ll need to make sure any samples you use are not infringing copyrights.
ZynewaveDepends on how the AD2 plugin was imported. If it is like NI Kontakt, then there could be both stereo mappings named “Out 1+2” etc. as well as mono mappings named “Out 11”, “Out 12” etc. You may have to edit the mappings to match the mono/stereo setup you have configured in the AD2 plugin.
ZynewaveNo need to reinstall Podium, unless you need to switch x86/x64 version. Nucleum for example is only available in a 32-bit version (x86), which means you cannot use it with Podium x64.
ZynewaveIf you are using Podium 3.2.4, you can generate a debug log, which will help me identify the problem. Here’s a description:

ZynewaveZynewaveHave you previously managed to run Podium successfully with other ASIO drivers, such as asio4all?
ZynewaveHi,
I recommend using jBridge only if you absolutely must use plugins that are not available in the x86/x64 format matching the Podium version. If you only use 32-bit plugins, I recommend sticking to the non x64 version of Podium. Using jBridge can be tricky, and you need to run Podium in administrator mode.

ZynewaveCan you give me a link to the free Waves plugin you are trying to use?
ZynewaveAre you using Windows 8 x64?
ZynewaveHi,
Deselect the MIDI input/output on the Control Surfaces page in the Audio/MIDI dialog. Selecting devices on this page requires that the devices can emulate the Mackie MCU control surface.

ZynewaveIt could, but it would mean a bit more work for me maintaining it as separate documents. I have a hope that in a future update I will be able to show the HTML inside a window in Podium rather than having to open a browser app.
ZynewaveAre you using Podium 3.2.4? The debug feature was first introduced in this version. If you are using Podium Free, you could try the Podium Demo 3.2.4.
