ZynewaveBeta 16:
Fixed a couple of bugs, including the bounce track bug reported earlier in this topic.
Dragging effect mappings onto tracks now inserts the mapping on a new effect track instead of assigning it directly on the dropped lane track. Likewise when selecting an effect mapping in the inspector map panel (when a lane track is selected), a new effect track is created. This way you can repeatedly select/drop effect mappings to create a chain of effects.
The 1.95 feature set is almost done. Please report if you find any bugs in the latest beta.
ZynewaveBeta 15 is up. Added “Group separation space” and “Track header color opacity” options to the tracks region properties dialog.

Hi Frits,
is there a chance you could make the colouring of track headers and the spacing between groups an option ?

I’ll add an option for the spacing between track groups. What kind of options do you want for the track coloring?
Zynewavecould it be possible to have the track ‘windows’ expand automatically to show all VSTxs on the track?
I’ll work on this on a later release. It requires a change to the way that track heights are stored. Currently track height is stored as a scale factor relative to the total region height. Hence when you drag the mixer up, all tracks scale accordingly. I’ll probably change this so that track heights are stored as a pixel height, which allows for precise sizing of the tracks to the contents of the chain panel.
ZynewaveThanks for the positive feedback everyone. It’s encouraging to know that these track layout changes are worth the development time I’m putting into it.
Beta 14 is up.
The track menu is now almost done. The track header right-click menu is now the same as the popup menu of the chain panel. New commands are “New Track” and “New Child Track” on group tracks. The track clipboard commands now also works with the compact layout. The commands are moved to a “Clipboard” submenu in the track menu. The new “Replace Effect Chain” command makes it easy to copy an effect chain from one track to other tracks: Select a track where you have set up a chain that you want to reuse on other tracks. Copy (Ctrl+C). Select the new track. Replace Effect Chain (Ctrl+Shift+V).
Still missing are the track template menus, but I’ll probably wait with those until after 1.95 is released. Dragging effect tracks in the chain panel will also come after the 1.95 release.

where can i find a description of it Frits , i am interested 😉
The Mackie Control support is described in the wiki guide. There is no description of how the generic support will be in the future.
ZynewaveThe transport toolbar have two buttons that toggles punch in/out. You can also use the I and O key shortcuts to toggle these.
ZynewaveVery interesting. Thanks for posting this. Are you using ASIO drivers? How low latency can you get without dropouts?
ZynewaveDo you mean disable punch in/out, or erase all events inside the punch range?

Just a small thing but would it be a good idea to include configurable “Favourites” items under the “Assign” menus?
With a bit of manual work, you can arrange your plugins into favorites folders on the project start page. If you mean that Podium should automatically maintain a list of most used plugins, then that is not something I’ll implement this time around.

a. When using the command ‘Hide Tracks in Group’ on a bounce track the plugin mapping and the fader of a child track is shown on the bounce track header.
I’ll look at that tomorrow.
c. Moving the first effect track in a track header with the submenu command ‘Move Track’ above the next effect track does not work, moving below works.
Fixed in the new beta 13.
One question: Is it possible to deactivate the automatic track header sizing when opening/closing the mixer? Would be great because all the optimized track header sizes are ‘lost’ after opening the mixer view.
Not currently. I’m planning to change how the track resizing works. With the new compact headers there are more information shown on the headers, and it may then be undesirable that the tracks resizes when the entire tracks region is resized.
The new beta 13 has further changes to the track menus, including submenus for presets and parameters.

I have strange bug with all 1.95 betas.It happens when i create new arrangement, which have 4 audio tracks and all things by default.So, i have 4 tracks. Then i delete last track(using delete bottom), then next track and so on.But when i delete last track podium crashes. Sorry for my english 😳
Thanks, it is fixed in the new beta 12.
Beta 12 furthermore has a new track menu. I’ve joined the right-click track menu and the left-click object popups into one menu. There are new submenus for: “Assign Input”, “Assign Output”, “Assign Effect”, “Assign Source” and “Insert Effect Track”, depending on which track you click on.
The “Assign Source” submenu includes all device mappings that produce sound, i.e. instruments and bus returns.
I’m going to extend this menu with “New Parameter Track” and “Assign Preset” submenus. This should then allow you to do everything on the track headers, without having to use the track inspector.
ZynewaveSo if there were no fixes at all you would wait even longer to release 1.95?
Sounds like we are now moving to a longer development cycle for Podium releases (and of course fixes) in future if that is the case, which is fine if that approach works best for you. Is that a correct assumption?
I have already replied to this question some time ago in the topic you posted in the VIP lounge:
http://www.zynewave.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1475
The design of the new track layout mode is a major feature. When it is done I’m going back to more regular updates.
ZynewaveBeta 11 is available. This includes the new track header style and an updated group panel that matches the new header style.
ZynewaveOn another note, do you have any sort of time frame for a release of 1.95?
It has been more than 8 weeks and AFAICT there are some bug fixes that are in 1.95.
There are no important bug fixes coming in 1.95. Otherwise I wouldn’t wait this long with the release of 1.95.
The available 1.94 demo time expired yesterday, so I am trying to wrap up what I have made so far. Hopefully 1.95 is ready within a week. This means the compact mode unfortunately will not be as completed as I had hoped. I still have to do some work on the track menus.
