ZynewaveKeymasterRegarding the AFL/SIP issue, the (fabulous) engine only works with “regular tracks” which is fine if that’s all you need. I, however, need to hear AFL for my effects returns and the only way I know how to do this in Podium is to reassign the output so that only the track in question is setup. Simply hitting the solo button doesn’t work, since that mutes all the other channels. Re-routing outputs takes a lot more time than simply clicking a button (or modifier+button). And as much as I’d like to charge my client an extra $50 while I spend that time re-routing, it’d be just a lot nicer if I didn’t have to do that. Is that a persuasive argument?
Ah yes, the implicit muting of the bus return section when you solo a track is something I’ve thought about. Wouldn’t you only need to solo the bus return section in addition to the audio track to achieve what you want? I don’t see a need to change the track setup. I’ve thought about implementing automatic soloing of bus return tracks when any track is soloed. I can’t see situations where this would be an undesired behaviour. Any thoughts?
Regarding mute/bypass automation, I hope it hops onto your current schedule. I first learned multi-track automation with only Mute and Mute Groups and still use them on digital console based mixes -especially to switch between takes of tracks. It’s a lot cleaner and easier to accomplish than splitting/aligning, drawing fader curves, etc… Is that a persuasive argument?
Couldn’t you just automate the level to “off” achieve the same thing as automating a mute parameter?
ZynewaveKeymasterAre there any plans to implement a mute/bypass automation function within Podium?
It has been requested quite a few times, but it is not on my current schedule.
an AFL/SIP capability would be well received
I had to google this (After Fader Listen/Solo In Place). Can’t you do this already with the hierarchic system? Otherwise please explain what you want it to do.
And copying of whole groups would be awesome
If you mean track groups, then this can already be done. Collapse the group, and any mouse drag and cut/copy edit actions will affect the entire group.
ZynewaveKeymasterI meant can I turn an fx on and off with automation?
You can’t, unless the plugin has an on/off or bypass parameter.
ZynewaveKeymasterYes. Open the parameter panel in the inspector, click the device button and double-click the desired parameter to create an automation track.
Or record enable the plugin track, and move the controls in the plugin editor during recording.

i am not clear on this. i can see a cursor hold stationary in the edit window. but once i hit stop the cursors are linked. what is the point?
Then it’s working as intended. The point is that the edit cursor will not start to move when you hit playback, so you can continue editing without having to stop playback to move the cursor.
ZynewaveKeymasterDid you uncheck the “link edit cursor to play cursor” option in the view menu?
ZynewaveKeymasterSurge (#1)
Surge (#1) (01)
Surge (#1) (02)
Surge (#1) (03)What does this mean?
This means that Surge is imported as a global plugin with multiple mappings for one instance. The (#1) refers to the instance number and the (01) (02) … refers to MIDI channel number.
If you want to use more instances, go to the device list on the project start page, and use the “new instance” context menu on the surge folder. This should give you a new set of mappings named with (#2). If you are not using the multitimbral functionality of Surge, you can use the “new insert mapping” context menu. This will give you a mapping that you can place on any number of tracks.
ZynewaveKeymasterI realize we’re heading towards 2.0.. Have you any major features planned for this special release?
I am not secretly preparing something big or special. I would like to think that time-stretching is implemented when we reach 2.0.
ZynewaveKeymaster- Option for separate edit cursor and play cursor.

If you select the “view” button at the bottom of the window, you are changing the option for the minimized/hidden mixer region.

Save Podium.ini. Please verify that this stops the scrolling. Did you notice my previous post about the double dual mixer windows?
August 9, 2007 at 23:59 in reply to: I can’t remember how to stop my tracks from following each #10536ZynewaveKeymasterSomething that may cause the confusion:
I noticed in your setup that you are using two browser windows, each showing the default “Split – mixer” profile. This means you actually have four mixers, as the split profile already has two mixer regions. So maybe you changed the follow option for the mixers that are minimized.
August 9, 2007 at 23:55 in reply to: I can’t remember how to stop my tracks from following each #10534ZynewaveKeymasterThen please exit Podium and open the Podium.ini in notepad.exe or any text editor. Search for “FollowFocusTrack”. Do the lines read “FollowFocusTrack=0” ?
August 9, 2007 at 23:49 in reply to: I can’t remember how to stop my tracks from following each #10532ZynewaveKeymasterIf you uncheck the option in all the mixer regions, and then exit and restart Podium, are the options still unchecked?
August 9, 2007 at 23:41 in reply to: I can’t remember how to stop my tracks from following each #10530ZynewaveKeymasterThe file shows that the follow option is enabled for all mixer views. Are you sure you are not mistakingly using the “automatic scroll” option in the editor view menu? This option is for the timeline scrolling. The “follow focus track” is found in the “view” menu to the far right on the mixer title bar.
