ZynewaveKeymasterI go to the public library 2-3 times every month and bring home a stack of 20-30 CD’s. That’s the way I learn about new music. I don’t listen to the radio and I don’t watch the hitlists on MTV. It means that it can be years after an album is released before I “discover” it. Some of the albums I’ve enjoyed recently:
Brian Eno – Another Day on Earth
Crash Test Dummies – Songs of the Unforgiven
Rufus Wainwright – Want One / Want Two
Rammstein – Reise, Reise
Laibach – WAT
Elbow – Cast of Thousands

I haven’t decided what plugin I’ll start on after that.

I would like to continue to push people in the Podium direction whenever possible. But …
sometimes success can be more challenging than failure
Personally I doubt that this announcement will result in an influx of customers. Haven’t we seen this kind of Steinberg announcement/public outcry regularly on each major update of Cubase?
Podium does not have and will never have the broad spectrum of features that they have managed to stuff into Cubase over the years. People looking for a Cubase clone will probably not choose Podium over other of the established sequencers. People wanting to try something new may however be pleasantly surprised by Podium.
ZynewaveKeymaster- Group panel improvements.
- New “Split” edit menu command.

Didn’t you say you could not record audio either?
Yes, I was not able to record anything with this option checked, but after I cleared this checkbox both audio and MIDI recordings started to work. Maybe this is because I’ve tried to record both audio and MIDI tracks at the same time with that option checked?
No, midi and audio recording are independent. Anyway, I’m glad to hear that Podium seems to work on XP 64.
ZynewaveKeymasterIt’s your video tutorial made me to check MIDI preferences in Podium once more time. Just needed to untick “Use time stamps from driver” box for my MIDI input, and all working now.
Great! I was thinking about suggesting you should clear this option, but this does not affect audio recording. Didn’t you say you could not record audio either?
It was blank in Podium preferences, but I got that message regarding M-Audio drivers with very first start of Podium, it was surprised me too. Thats why I still think there is something wrong with that drivers or with my system and going to do clean reinstall anyway.
Ok that makes sense. When Podium starts up, it scans the properties of all ASIO drivers on the system. This may have provoked the M-Audio driver to show the error dialog.
ZynewaveKeymasterNo, I’ve installed Podium first time after I changed soundcard, but with first launch of Podium it said “can’t find M-Audio Firewire hardware, maybe it’s not powered or not connected to your PC”
Hmm, strange. When you install Podium for the first time the interface selections should be blank, so it should not show any interface errors. Try using the “Load Default Setup” in the setup menu. This will reset the interface selections, and all other preferences are set to defaults.
ZynewaveKeymasterWhen I’ve first started Podium demo, it tried to use them instead of drivers from E-MU and crashed several times until I was able to switch it to right ones and saved configuration.
Does this mean you had a previous Podium demo installed where you used your old soundcard drivers? Have you ever succeeded in recording with Podium?
If you say that you can monitor your MIDI and audio inputs through the Podium mixer, then I don’t think it’s driver conflicts that is causing recording to fail.
ZynewaveKeymasterPlease send me your project file, so I can verify that it will record on my PC.
It may be because you are using XP 64. I’ve not had a chance to test Podium on XP Pro 64 or Vista yet.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe demo version is not record restricted.
The timeline of the tracks you have record enabled should be drawn in red color. If you don’t see this, then check if you have punch-in/out enabled. You may need to extend the punch range then. Another way to verify recording is that the play cursor will turn red instead of green, when it is recording.
It is not necessary to create midi or audio events on the tracks before recording.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe Podium.ini file. This file includes all Podium settings that are not stored in project files. You can load/save setup files using the setup menu.
ZynewaveKeymasterTo achieve the ‘gap-less’ performance, Podium prepares the playback one second in advance before outputting the prepared buffers to MIDI and audio interfaces. This is why e.g. edits applied to events within one second of the current playback position will not be output.
