ZynewaveMy problem is very personal, and will not have interest for 0.0000000000000000000000000001 % of users…
If that is the percentage you represent of the total Podium user base, I would be a rich man 😮
My question is : is the process transparent, like in an audio mastering tool like SoundForge, or does the mixing engine and the truncation to 16 bits will change something to the files ?
If you are using the mixing engine, then the sound files will be converted to 32/64 bit floats (depending on your mixing engine preferences), mixed, and then converted back to the format of your bounced sound file. If all your sound files are 16 bit, then they can be converted to floats without data loss, and thus the process should be transparent. I haven’t verified it, but it should also be transparent for 24 bit files. You can verify this by comparing your source file with the bounced output file.
ZynewaveIs there a workaround for this problem ?
You mentioned that you have disabled 9-18 on the first interface, and enabled 1-18 on the second interface. Would it be possible to swap the two interfaces? That way the last channel you have enabled is 18 + 8, which can fit within the 32 bus channels.
Can you make something for the next build ??
Implementing a sort of channel matrix is a big task, and will disturb my plans for the next month. I fear you will have to wait a while for this.
ZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveI still get the same results and no choice of note (piano roll) or keyboard list.
What are the names of the profiles that you see in the view menu? When you say you get an ‘event grid’ instead of a piano roll, I may have misunderstood you. Also check that the mapping properties for the plugin has the ‘device is an instrument’ option checked.
After you have used ‘load default setup’, you need to reconfigure the MIDI/Audio interfaces dialog. That’s probably why you have no sound.
I doubt that reinstalling the program will make any difference.
ZynewaveHi suges,
Thanks for your response 😉 I’m sorry you feel there is a shortage of feedback to your posts, but I always find your posts interesting and helpful.
ZynewaveEvery time I try to draw a MIDI event (Piano roll) I get an event grid instead
If you open the view menu in the editor for your note sequence, there should be two profiles listed at the top: Keyboard and Event List. If not, then something has happened to your sequence profile setup. You can get it back to normal with the ‘Load Default Setup’ menu.
ZynewaveGood suggestions. I’ll keep it in mind.

How does this work when recording midi to the audio track.
Could you give a more detailed explanation of what you are trying to do?
Zynewavemaybe podium has already got it and I just have’nt found it yet
It should be possible. When you have assigned an input mapping to a track, and switched the arrangement monitoring on (the power button in the transport toolbar), the audio input should be ‘live’. You can bypass the live input with the ‘X’ button next to the input on the track.
ZynewaveTime-stretching is a very complex process and difficult to implement with good quality results. Time-stretching is normally used on simple material, such as break beats or solo instrument riffs. When applying time-stretch to complex material such as a complete song, there are audible artifacts that don’t sound good. So I cannot recommend using time-stretching as a final mastering process. Not even if Podium were able to do time-stretching 😉
ZynewaveIf you are mixing wave files, then the normal bar/beat and tempo events will not change the tempo of the wave files. What you would need for this is a gradual time stretching of the audio events.
If I wanted to crossfade a song at e.g. 100 BPM into a song at 120 BPM, I would you put tempo changes at the end of the first song that gradually raised the tempo to 120, and similarly start the second song at 100 BPM and gradually raise it to 120. Then you can crossfade the wave files of the two songs and get a smooth tempo transition.
ZynewaveAn item on the plan is gradual tempo change events. I am not sure that is what you are talking about though. Do you intend to put all your songs into one big arrangement, or else how would you crossfade the songs?
ZynewaveYou can configure the metronome in the preferences setup dialog. There is a gain setting for the audio metronome.
ZynewaveI have no current plans. I have some experience programming for OSX, but that was back when OSX 10.0.0.0.0 came out, and I got dismayed with the at that time ‘unfinished’ audio/plugins parts of the OS. It will be interesting to see the outcome of their new Intel move.
