ZynewaveKeymasterOk, so when you start Podium, the splash screen displays forever and the main window never appears?
If you delete the Podium.ini file, then start Podium and go into the Audio/MIDI dialog. Can you then enable the Prodipe driver without getting any errors?
If you can, please go to the Report page in the dialog, and copy/paste the report here (or email it to me).
ZynewaveKeymasterWhat are you doing in the UI when the crash occurs?
If the problem happens to be some compatibility issue with the Prodipe ASIO driver, you could try the asio4all.com driver. Often this driver performs better than many native ASIO drivers.
ZynewaveKeymasterIs this your interface?

I assume you have the latest 2.0 ASIO driver installed.
If you open the Audio/MIDI dialog from the Podium Setup menu, does the Prodipe ASIO driver appear in the list?
ZynewaveKeymasterI tested demo versions of Waves surround plugins years ago, and at that time the Podium plugin scanning was able to automatically import all the plugins through the Waveshell. They may have changed the system since then.
About the “This plugin could not be loaded” message: Perhaps there are multiple versions of the dlls. Make sure you select x86/x64 versions matching the Podium version you use.
ZynewaveKeymasterIs there perhaps some option in the keyboard MIDI setup menus where you can disable transmission of MMC or system real-time messages?
ZynewaveKeymasterHi John,
Sorry for the late reply. Podium has no embedded preset browser in the plugin window, but you can use the “Load…” button on the inspector preset panel.

I fixed some issues with the detection of free memory in 3.2.2, which I thought had solved the problem. Podium 3.2.2 will use up to half the available free memory for caching sound in memory, before it starts to write the cache to disk. You reported earlier that you saw memory usage up to +3 GB. That should be fixed in 3.2.2 to stay well below 2 GB on a PC with 4 GB.
For the upcoming Podium 3.2.3 I’ve added a “sound cache maximum memory usage” setting to the engine preferences page. I’ve set the default to 512 MB. This should further reduce the risk of plugins running out of memory during rendering.
ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for reporting this. This is fixed in the upcoming 3.2.3 release. The auto-assigned audio input will be assigned to the composite group track if any tracks within the composite group has focus.
ZynewaveKeymasterSorry, it’s still not clear to me. I’m curious as to why you wan’t to route all your normal and bus return tracks to a single submix track? If the only purpose of the submix track is to route the audio to the master track, and no other tracks are going to the master track, then why not go straight to the master?
I’m close to logging off for today, and I’ll be travelling to visit family tomorrow, so it may be a couple of days before I can reply again.
ZynewaveKeymasterFrom your description, I’m not sure what you mean by submix. Do you just want one submix track, or several submix tracks? If you just want one, I can’t see what you want to achieve by inserting a separate submix group track. You can enable multiple gain faders on the master track, if you want to control gain both before and after the master effects.
ZynewaveKeymasterIf you don’t want any direct signal going through to the master, you could skip using send/returns, and instead just place the ten tracks in a group track. What effects you currently have on your bus return track would go on the group track.
If you still want the send/return mappings, you should move the track fader up above the send fader by using the track context menu -> Fader -> Set Fader After Sends. After that you can set the track gain to off.

Crash on startup when control surface is configured but not connected #25224ZynewaveKeymasterThanks for the bug report. I couldn’t provoke a crash on my machine, but I did find an issue with initialization of disconnected USB MIDI devices. I have uploaded a 3.2.2 beta with a fix on the My Downloads page. If you find the time to test this beta, please report whether the crash bug is gone.
ZynewaveKeymasterI have Kontakt 4.2.4 full, and recently updated Kontakt Player to the latest 5.3.0 version. Is it possible for you to update to 5.3.0 so you can confirm that the issue is still present with the latest version?
I’m probably going to upgrade my Kontakt full version to 5, with the 50% deal that NI announced today. I’m going to spend much of December working with Kontakt. Before that I’m going to release a minor Podium update with various fixes.
