ZynewaveKeymasterI cannot remember where, but I think you said something about some sort of plugin chainer or rack that would do away with the need to have each FX on it’s own track. Is this still under consideration?
That is indeed the way I intend to go. Working title for the plugin is zMatrix. I have not started implementing it yet, but I have a good idea of how it is going to work. There is going to be a couple of novel features in that plugin. I would have started it a long time ago, but there have been so many requests for other “standard” features that I felt I needed to get them out of the way before starting on some of the “unexpected” features.
I could potentially use Phrazor or Energy XT but I think using either of them as an FX rack in Podium might stop Podium from delay compensating for FX hosted within them while used as an insert in Podium. Do you know if that is correct?
If the host plugin calculates the latency of its plugin processing chain and reports it back to Podium, then PDC should be ok.
ZynewaveKeymasterAfter a days work: The waveform shown on sound events are now scaled according to the event gain and fade in/out time settings. Available in release 1.76.
I think I’ll wait with the support for customizable fade curve defaults. Instead I could easily add a few fixed defaults that can be accessed by right-clicking the fade in/out handles on the event. The two obvious choices would be “Linear” and “Equal power”. Linear is -6dB and equal power is -3dB at the middle of the fade-in/out. What other curve defaults would you find useful?
ZynewaveKeymasterThis resolved the problem.
Excellent 🙂 . Sorry for the troubles it caused you.
ZynewaveKeymasterI did find the “Export file” menu item in the “old standard browser” but that was for saving project files, so I’m not sure how to use that.
It will save as a .pod file but only the sub-branch of the project that you have browsed into. So if you export a “drumkit.pod” file, you can import (i.e. Ctrl+I and not Ctrl+O) this file into other projects.
In other words I can create drumkits within drumkits ad infinitum, or so it seems. Which is sort of mind-boggling…
You can, but I don’t think you can find a practical use for this. The only use for the drumkit preset option is to determine whether note sequences should be edited with the piano roll or drum map editor.
ZynewaveKeymasterOk, I’m pretty sure I found the problem. I made a temporary hack in the code to simulate a buffer size of 441 on my RME card (which normally only allows power of 2 buffer sizes). I got a crash in the SSE optimized code that calculates the meters, due to the buffer size being uneven. You must have used a different buffer size before you upgraded the driver?
I have inserted a check that skips the SSE optimizations on uneven buffer sizes. I’m about to send a 1.76 beta to you. Please report if this fixes your crash problem.
ZynewaveKeymasterSo with a fresh windows install and with the only additions outside of windows being the Presonus Inspire drivers and Podium, Podium still crashes when I turn on monitoring.
Did you install the older driver that used to work with Podium?
Your report stated that you are using a buffer size of 441, which is kind of odd. If possible, try changing this to 256, 512, 1024 etc.
You could also try the ASIO4All driver, to check if you can use an ASIO driver at all with Podium on your PC.
ZynewaveKeymasterBy the way… I might have a deeper problem with my system as suddenly I can’t get a network connection on my music machine…
I recommend you use a diagnostics tool to check your system. I once had a PC with a periodically faulty RAM block which caused me a lot of aggravation before I figured out it was a hardware problem.
ZynewaveKeymaster1. There is a need to refresh certain views before a drum map appears within Podium.
I’ve now added code that will check all open editors and select the proper editor profile when a drum-kit preset is assigned to a track.
ZynewaveKeymasterDoes it crash if you switch to Wave drivers instead of ASIO?
Try to set up a track with a sound event, without audio inputs and plugins. Does it crash on playback?

With the inputs deleted. I then tried dragging ian input back into the arrangement and it crashed.
Open the interfaces dialog and create a report. Email or post it here.
ZynewaveKeymasterBoth worked… (No crash)
Phew 🙂 . Now try adding stuff until the crash occurs again. Start with audio inputs, then plugins etc.
ZynewaveKeymasterIf you create a new arrangement and delete all tracks except the master track, does it crash when you switch monitoring on?
Try the same but select a different samplerate in the arrangement properties.
ZynewaveKeymasterTried renaming it and started Podium. Went through the setup. Created a new arrangement. Went into it. Turned on monitoring and got the error message.
Was the setup reset properly when you started Podium, i.e. the color scheme was set to default grey and interface settings were cleared?
When you reinstalled the old drivers, did you verify that it actually did overwrite the newer version (a version number in the control panel perhaps)?
Try entering into a sound object directly from the project start page, and see if you can play this.
ZynewaveKeymasterI don’t get any crashes with your Podium.ini file. Are your arrangements using 44100 samplerate?
ZynewaveKeymasterI did a search for Podium.ini and guess what? I don’t seem to have one.
It should be here:
