ZynewaveKeymasterWhat is the dual shaded box for next to the no.4 (far right of the lower screen area)?
That is a pulse indicator that animates the play position within the current beat. This will create a flash on the start of each beat, to aid with timing if you are far from your monitor. I think this is more useful than a frantically running percentage value.
ZynewaveKeymasterAny chance on allowing a customization for U.S. nomenclature (our . are your ,)?
I’ve changed the comma to a period. I looked at screenshots of other hosts, and this seems to be the preferred way to display time.
ZynewaveKeymasterHave any of you posted about this on the Jamstix support forum? I see that Jamstix2 was released yesterday, so it’s possible this is a bug in Jamstix.
ZynewaveKeymasterWhen will it be released? And will there be the changes to the group panel that you described in another thread?
Maybe the coming weekend, including some of the planned group panel changes.
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes the clicking occur during normal playback?
Are you doing a bounce render (ctrl+B) or realtime bounce recording?
Some plugins have a problem with processing faster than realtime, and so need to be bounce recorded realtime. Realtime bounce recording is done by enabling both the B and R buttons on the bounce track, enabling record mode and then pressing play.
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes Podium (yet) allow you to specify the MIDI channel of a note in a track that you can change per note?
No. MIDI channel information is not stored in the note events. The mapping on the track decides which MIDI channel the notes are output to.
One thing that is on the plan, is an option for the piano-roll editor to show note sequences from multiple tracks (allowing for different MIDI channels).
ZynewaveKeymasterwhat kind of interfaces and setups do you test with?
I’m using RME Multiface HDSP, and I also test with the ASIO4ALL driver using the PC internal soundcard. On my older Windows 2000 PC I have a Yamaha SW1000XG card, which I rarely use.
ZynewaveKeymasterSo any idea when you will offer support for Vista officially?
When I get a Vista PC to test with. If you say that Podium is working on Vista, I am in no hurry to upgrade my current XP PC.
(Rewire) are Propellerhead still slilent?
I haven’t tried contacting them lately. I still have a lot to do before I’ll look at Rewire.
ZynewaveKeymasterIt sounds like it might be a case of the Group panel evolving into the original idea for the ZGrid X*Y panel but without parallel processing. Is that correct?
Yes.
If I have one track with for instance Pentagon VSTi on it routed (streaming up) to 3 FX tracks will the changes you are making now result in only one track in the arrange view?
Yes, provided that the track lanes for the 3 fx tracks are hidden (which they are by default if you created the track by dragging an fx mapping).
ZynewaveKeymasterIs that the ZMaster multi FX plug?
zComp, probably.
You said “reduce the clutter” but would those changes in some way reduce the track count as well?
I’m working on expanding the group panel. This includes an option to compact the headers in the tracks region so that only groups with track lanes are shown. This will get rid of the thin bars for the chained tracks, which can be visually overwhelming with large chains. In effect, the only place where you see fx tracks are in the group panel and in the stacked strips in the mixer. My aim is to make this just as convenient as having them chained inside a zGrid plugin.
My original ideas for zGrid was discussed a long time ago. Since then I’ve implemented e.g. the group panel and track templates, which deals with some of the issues that the zGrid was intended to solve. So although zGrid is still on the plan, I’m trying to take as much of the functionality and integrating it in Podium. This is a better approach imo.
ZynewaveKeymasterAny further thoughts on mute automation?
It’s still not on my schedule.
another suggestion for Podium 2.0 -> Would it be possible to have a Zynewave plug-in called zStrip? A combination of the zEQ and some (decent) compressor/dynamics processor?
Not for 2.0. But a compressor is on my todo list for future zPlugs. I’m currently making improvements to the track handling, which will help reduce the clutter from large track chains. With the help of track templates, it will be possible to construct a selection of channel strips with your favorite plugins, and easily recall the strips.
ZynewaveKeymasterWould they not provide a neb2 for you to check out?
I didn’t ask.
In the meantime they are testing with Reaper which apparently has the same problem with Nebula.
Ok, let’s hope that their fixes will make it work with Podium too.
ZynewaveKeymasterMy only two issues are 1) what you describe in the question below and 2) the act of turning those gain dials to off -especially if they’ve already been adjusted to some level (got to remember where I set them or make yet another group track).
A tip: If you don’t do any editing after setting the level to “off”, you can press undo to return the level to the previous value.
Oh, and don’t do this -it would drive me crazy. If you setup a song via template, for example, and there’s already a verb on a voice -soloing it to work on EQ would be difficult if the reverb return automatically soloed with it. Does that make sense? If I want to hear the return with the dry, I’ll just solo the return as well.
Good point. I’ll leave it as it is then.
ZynewaveKeymasterI have edited your post to show a working link to AcusticAudio.
It seems there is no demo for Nebula 2. Could you please try the Nebula 2 Free and let me know if this also has the overload problem?
ZynewaveKeymasterI actually need to hear just the return.
So, given that a single track and the bus return section is soloed, what you want to achieve can be done by turning the gain dial to “off” on the bus send track?
Would there be a need to solo just a bus return, i.e. to hear the bus return for ALL tracks with their dry signal muted?
