ZynewaveHi Jaegerteam,
Sorry about the troubles. This sounds like a bug that was fixed in 1.39:
Fix: Dragging a sound onto an arrangement with no tracks would crash Podium.
1.39 is not released as a demo, but Podium 1.40 will be released as a demo within a couple of weeks. Until then you should be able to work around the bug by making sure you have created a master output track in the arrangement, before dragging objects into the arrangement.

I’ll stop bugging you with marketing ideas then 🙂
Please keep the ideas coming 🙂
I believe the best kind of promotion is ‘gossip’ on the various online communities. I know at least some users got interested in Podium because of recommendations and praise from other users on the forums. My website statistics also show that a major part of the visitors come from links posted in topics discussing Podium.
ZynewaveThere are many ways I could promote Podium. I just don’t feel I have the time (and interest) to invest in the marketing side of the business. I have made the choice to focus on development, and see how far that will bring it. I may be missing out on a lot of sales, but hopefully the time I invest in development will pay back later on.
Almost a year ago I went back to a part-time employment at TC, so I’m not economic dependent on Podium sales. In spite of having 30-40 hours less per week for Podium development, I’ve still managed to implement quite a lot during the last year. So no need to worry about the Podium future.
ZynewaveClose to 60. A small, but hopefully happy group of users.
ZynewaveDid you make that with Podium??
That’s a rhetorical question, right? 😉
I’ll post the project file once I get it cleaned out a little.
ZynewaveHi 🙂
Finally, after getting a new computer and implementing a few needed features, I’ve been able to do some serious work with the GPO plugin. I’ve started out with some simple stuff, namely a string orchestra piece by Edward Grieg. I’m still not 100% satisfied, but there are many things in GPO still that I can work with to improve realism.
Check out the mp3 below. Any opinions on the quality?
ZynewaveHi sonicwarrior,
It’s not practically possible for me singlehandedly to support multiple platforms. I have no experience with Linux, so it would require a lot of research for me to even estimate how much time it would take to make a Linux port. It is not going to happen for at least a couple of years.

ZynewaveYES!
And I assume the behaviour doesn’t change if you change the tempo? What if you insert tempo changes on the timeline, are the spikes still aligned to bar starts?
Zynewavebut the spikes on the 1st beat only appear here..
So it spikes on the first beat in every bar? Try inserting a tempo event in Podium with a time signature of 3/4. Still spikes on every bar start?
ZynewaveAt least some of your original requests have been implemented 😉 I can’t give estimates on the remaining features. It’s great to get feedback on what features people find important, but it is difficult to give estimates for a rather large and varied set of feature requests. You’ll have to take them as they come.
ZynewaveI noticed another thing with your project: There is no JamStix device definition object. That means all your JamStix mappings for individual input/output and MIDI channels are separate instances. The device definition is needed to tie together the mappings to one instance. If you are using more than one of these mappings on the tracks, then this can explain the erratic behaviour. I’ve managed to crash JamStix if I use more than one instance.
Try deleting the JamStix mappings folder and reimport the plugin. That should give you the required device definition. Let me know if this changes anything.
Edit: Actually the device definition object is in your project, but is not assigned to the JamStix mappings 😕 Did you create the JamStix mappings manually?
ZynewaveI finally found a way to get a reproducable error. Do you have the metronome activated in JamStix? This could explain why you get spikes on ‘one’.
To fix it, I simply deselected the ‘enable plugin multiprocessing’ option in the Podium preferences dialog. It appears that JamStix is having problems with multiprocessing. Let me know if disabling multiprocessing cures your spike problems.
Zynewave1. The installer will automatically uninstall an older version of Podium, no matter where it is installed. I’m using a simple installer tool with very few customizations to the standard behaviour. I’ve seen too many horror stories with installs/uninstalls that can corrupt a file system if they have been modified to do ‘intelligent’ stuff.
2. Where should this button be placed? Opening the interfaces dialog and pressing OK/enter will reinitialize the drivers.
3. This will probably be implemented at some point.
Zynewavecan you also update the demo-version?
I update the demo-version with 2 months interval, so the next 1.40 release will probably be released as a demo as well.
