ZynewaveTracks within a group can be either minimized (collapsed) or hidden completely. Pressing G will expand/collapse, while pressing Ctrl+G will expand/hide the tracks completely. Likewise, clicking the +/- button will expand/collapse, and Ctrl+Clicking the button will expand/hide. Hiding tracks has so far only been implemented in the tracks region, while the mixer would show hidden tracks as collapsed. The mixer now hides the strips completely if the group is hidden, so the behaviour is consistent between the tracks region and the mixer.
ZynewaveWhat is ZGrid or ZMaster?
They are plugins and only exists as ideas so far. zGrid is a sort of wrapper which allows multiple plugins to be routed in parallel/serial, providing a means to have multiple plugins on one track. zMaster is a plugin that would have mono/stereo switch, dithering, limiter, etc.
Zynewavewhat about a simple function like ctrl+g like in the sequencer view. Where everything is hidden below the track you press ctrl+g on
The “hide tracks in group” option now also hides the mixer strips. Works nicely. Provides greater consistency between the tracks region and the mixer.
ZynewaveI don’t think this is something that should be built into the Podium mixer. M/S processing could be implemented in zGrid or zMaster.
ZynewaveHi Juergen,
There is no limit on the number of plugins that can be imported. I just checked, and I could import all my 250 plugins.
Little beyond 100 plugins, all further plugins fail during loading.
Fail in what way? Does the “illegal action” dialog appear?
If I cancel the scan at the beginning, each of those
“failing” plugins can be loaded.
I’m assuming you mean you can import those plugins separately afterwards.
I’m guessing the problem comes from one of the plugins that is imported before the remaning plugins start to fail. Try to see what plugin(s) is imported before the scan starts failing, and skip that plugin in the import.
Zynewavethere was a red circle on the mixer saying there was no master.
Hmm. Something have been messed up. Please email me your project file (without the sound files) and I can tell you what’s wrong.
Zynewaveon my master track in the default arrangement there is no sound event. only on the tracks i have recorded?
Then just double-click and drag to draw in a new sound. It should stretch the entire length of your arrangement. If the master track does not have the B button, then open the track properties dialog and enable the bounce mode. When this is set up, just try to press Ctrl+B to try it out. I think that will help with understanding how bouncing works.
Zynewaveshould i wrap my 17 tracks to a group track?
No. You don’t have to record and bounce enable each bounce track as shown in the video. That is only if you have several bounce tracks in your arrangement and want to bounce them all at the same time.
If you used the default arrangement as base for your arrangement, your master track is already bounce enabled (B button shown in the track header) and there is a sound event on the master track, right?
When you want to do a mixdown of your arrangement, you just press Ctrl+B or Ctrl+Click the B button on the master track. This will render your entire arrangement into the sound on the master track. No need to select individual tracks that you want to include in the render.
Zynewavethe video is well done but does not at all address showing a 14 or 22 track tune being mixed down to a stereo track. or….did i watch the wrong video?
The principle and procedure of bouncing a plugin track and bouncing the master output is exactly the same. You can insert bounce tracks anywhere in the hiearchy. For the final mixdown of your arrangement you bounce record on the topmost track, which is the master out track.
Zynewave“Bouncing the master out track” means capturing what goes out to the audio outputs and recording it to the stereo sound on the master out track. So it’s the same thing.
Check out the wiki videos to see how bouncing works.
Zynewavei usually bounce to a stereo track my first mix or two before my final mix. this does not create any problems in Podium does it….mixing a total tune to a stereo track instead of the master?
Not sure what you mean here. The sound on the master track is a standard stereo wav file.
ZynewaveOpen the track properties dialog, and select the “enable audio mixing” option.
ZynewaveIt requires a small addition in the code to listen to the horizontal wheel movement. But I need to get one of those mice before I can reliably implement this. What brand/model is yours? Is the sideway tilt an on/off scroll, or does the scroll speed adjust to the degree of tilt?
ZynewaveI followed your instructions, and I get the same thing. It’s a bug, and I’ll fix it for the next 1.83 release.
If you save the project after doing the sound file search, and then reopen the project, the sound files should be displayed ok.
ZynewaveThanks for helping with the questions Conquistador.
I think the main problem as expressed in this topic, is that of the visual presentation in the mixer. The hierarchic engine is a very flexible construction. I frequently see user requests in the Tracktion, eXT and Reaper forums, where users are requesting possibilities of organizing tracks into folders, folders in folders, folder freeze, etc. All this is possible in Podium. It is a matter of tuning the Podium UI so that it allows simpler manipulation of the track organization. Over the last couple of days I’ve had some exciting ideas on how to improve the mixer. It has moved to the top of my priority list.
