if I insert a RoomVerb M2 on a track in my laptop, the CPU indicator can show 10 or 20 % depending on the Preset, even if there is no sound played on this track

It should be the job of the plugin to bypass its internal processing if it receives silent input. Podium cannot make the assumption that a silent input to a plugin will produce silent output, so the plugin process function has to be called. Are you feeding the M2 absolute silence? If you e.g. are monitoring analog inputs through the M2, the noise floor of the AD converters may trigger the plugin processing.

Ok, I thought you meant the audio processing. Possibly the graphics optimizations in 1.35 will improve on this. I’ve managed to improve the responsiveness of plugin editors at high CPU load. Also appearing in 1.35 is an option to unload plugins from memory when the bounce track is activated.

The maximum zoom button should adjust according to the actual length of the arrangement. Are you sure you have erased all events at the end of the arrangement, including markers?

I have increased the font size of the CPU indicator. Will be released in version 1.35. The alternative visual representation will have to wait for another time.

I used to highlight items that I was currently working on for the next release. I dropped this, because I found it bothersome to maintain this. The development did not always turn out as the highlighted items indicated.

Just a quick question, does it matter if any audio channle is in the red as long as the master is’nt

As long as the ‘red’ channels are routed straight to a higher mixing point, then they can be gain reduced there. If the overloaded audio is routed through plugins on its way to the master, then the plugin processing may suffer from the overloaded audio input.

Proper support of scale/key features, is a whole new area that I haven’t tapped into yet. There are plenty of things on the list that have higher priority.
