Zynewavehaving the marker change name as the play cursor passes it? it really makes sense.
I don’t agree. The marker name and the time signature/tempo text on the lane below were intended as visual clues to the zoomed time range, like the bar/beat and time labels on the timeline ruler. In the case of the timesig/tempo you have an indicator in the transport toolbar to show what is active at the play cursor. If you want an indication of the active marker at the play cursor, then this could be shown next to the tempo indicator in the transport toolbar.
ZynewaveSounds weird. So you are holding a chord on your keyboard, and the notes recorded by Podium stops before you release the chord?

Just missing that extra bit of color on the track headers, gotta have that back!
You can have it back. Just set the “track header color opacity” in the tracks region properties.
ZynewaveConstantly scrolling up and down a busy arrangement just to deactivate a Solo button to hear the rest of a mix is a needless waste of time
You can Shift+Click the solo/mute buttons or press Shift+S/M. This will toggle solo/mute on the track and reset solo/mute on all other tracks. So if your current track is not soloed you would press Solo and then Shift+Solo to clear all soloed tracks.
ZynewaveAny idea why Podium is trying to access the internet during a scan?
Podium does NOT contain any code that accesses the internet. It must be a plugin that attempts the internet access, either deliberately or indirectly as a consequence of the crash. If you add the TAL-U-No-what to the quarantine list, does the OneCare pop up the warning on subsequent scans?

Hi Frits , a little problem , i can add a track template in the middle of the other tracks (rigth click etc…), but nor at the bottom??? 🙁
The track template submenus are temporarily removed from the new track menu at the bottom. It will be back when I add the template menus to the new compact mode.
ZynewaveAlso is there a chance of changing the undo/redo buttons so that a left-click undoes and redoes a single action (as normal) and a right-click brings up the time menus?
I agree that this approach is better than the dedicated undo/redo menu buttons. The regular undo/redo buttons can now open the edit history menu by pressing Alt+z/y, shift+clicking or right-clicking the buttons. I’ve changed the default toolbar layout back to using the undo/redo buttons instead of the undo/redo menu buttons. Coming in Podium 1.96.

I’m not too comfortable with the detached track inspector. It seems too “global” if you get what I mean. It seems it has more to do with the entire project rather than pertaining to the particular ‘take’ you are working on. I think moving it back to an internal sliding column would be better as surely it would still have the same benefits?
I understand what you mean by “too global”. I’ve been thinking about ways to embed it at the left edge of the arrangement editor page, but I have not found a layout that blended well with the top page tabs. Using the “Inspector” tab at the top to hide/show the inspector has the benefit that the hidden inspector does not occupy the space used by the sliding cover in the old embedded inspector. Another reason why I chose the separate page layout, is that I intend to add a similar top toolbar to the “List” page at the right edge. This toolbar will have controls for setting preview level etc.
ZynewaveI understand and admire your focus on the current Compact mode, but why not add those “Free G” type of features (standard in some hosts) to Podium, now that you are focusing and making plenty of changes in that area?
Because it will take time to implement those new features. What I’m doing this time around is to make all existing functionality found in expanded mode available in compact mode (track templates and drag-reordering effect tracks comes to mind).

I too have been a bit dismayed by some of the changes to a UI i was very comfortable with.
I’ve been trying to get to like compact mode (too much horizontal confusion which can blur the distinction between tracks) with the possibility of losing expanded mode at some time.
Please try the new beta6. I’ve added four new options to the tracks region properties dialog:
“Show track color bar at right edge of header”
“Show pan and gain sliders instead of dials”
“Show effect chain on header”
“Set minimum track height to fit contents”.
If you disable these options you end up with a header layout that is very close to the old expanded mode.

1. Moving a track with an Instrument mapping on it and effect tracks within the same track chain panel (compact mode) to a new group, causes the effect tracks to disappear completely.
Fixed, thanks.
2. Sometimes right clicking on a track header and choosing “Properties” resulted in a blank unnamed parameter track being created. It appears to happen on midi tracks.
I can’t reproduce this. Please see if you can pinpoint how to reproduce it.
3. Creating a bounce track at times resulted in the Effect tracks within a track chain panel being moved into the bounce track’s chain panel.
All effect tracks above the position where you insert the bounce track will be displayed in the bounce track lane header since they are processed after the bounce track.
ZynewaveBoth the API and SSL demos require an iLok. I don’t have an iLok. I would rather avoid having to plug an iLok into my development PC. I just don’t trust it.
Aren’t there any of the plugs in the Diamond bundle that you have problems with?
I’m looking at the demo downloads on this page:

hi Frits
I think this has a kind of yo-yo effect when moving between track-device-preset etc
it seems that re-clicking “track” now has a different result.
why dont they collapse in-situ instead of falling to the bottom ?
mart
That’s exactly what bothered me as well. I tried it this way because I wanted the Track panel to appear when you closed any of the other panels. With the old panel behaviour the bottom panel (now Input) would open when you closed one of the other panels. But I think this is a better solution than the panel behaviour in beta4. Beta5 is now uploaded with the old panel behaviour, but still with the input and track panels swapped.
Also in beta5 are two new commands in the preset menus: “Save Program File” and “Save Bank File”.

I agree with your FR. It also sounds very similar to this…
I’ve tried swapping the track panel to the top, as discussed in the topic you linked to. Please try the 1.96 beta4 and give me your feedback in this topic:
ZynewaveBeta 4 is up:
By request I’ve tried to swap the position of the input and track panels in the inspector. This means that the track panel is now at the top and F1 is used to open it instead of F5. Visually this makes more sense, since the panels are now placed in the same order as the controls in the group panel and the mixer. The only problem is that it becomes more difficult to open/close the panels by clicking the panel headers, because the clicked panel slides away from the mouse. Difficult to explain, but please try it and voice your opinion.
