so what happened to the list with 50+ request you had bookmarked?

I haven’t lost it, if that’s what you’re thinking.

It is not a problem running Podium on ARM processors. I already have Podium running on ARM with the experimental iOS port I did a while back.

What is more problematic is that Microsoft is rumored to only support Metro style apps and not desktop apps, with Windows 8 on ARM based tablets. The new Metro API is called WinRT, which replaces the old Win32 API. With WinRT, Microsoft has understandably chosen to cut out some of the older redundant technology. For example, the Win32 GDI graphics system that Podium uses, is replaced by Direct2D in WinRT. So, I’ll need to implement support for Direct2D in Podium. There are other problem areas, such as with the audio and MIDI support in WinRT, but I’ll just have to deal with them one at a time.

If you enable the “show latency information” option in the mixer, you can verify what your latency is in samples and milliseconds. An ASIO buffer size of 2048 will give a fairly noticeable delay when monitoring direct. It’s also possible that some plugins (typically compressors) add additional latency. If your PC can’t handle lower buffer sizes with ASIO4ALL, then you may get better performance with a dedicated soundcard that has a native ASIO driver.

I have no intention of letting Podium die. I realize it’s been a while since the last release, but I’ve been busy with another job. I have to do other work to make a living.

I’ve also spent some time with the Windows 8 developer preview, to examine what is needed to make Podium run on that platform. The world is moving fast towards touch-based input on tablet-size form factors, and I want to ensure that Podium will run on those systems as well. That will require a series of updates that I’m preparing, such as an updated project file storage method, and updates to the graphics and audio layer I’m using in Podium. Those updates will take some time and unfortunately does not provide new features, but I find it important that Podium will be able to support all Windows 8 platforms (Intel/Arm) from the day Windows 8 launches.

Not yet. I expect to have it fixed for the next release.

Both meters are moving on the tracks and the master

From your description, I take it that your recorded audio files actually contain wave data in both channels (i.e. are there two channels displayed in the waveform display).

If so, then it likely is a problem with the audio output mapping selected on the master track. On project creation, Podium will create both stereo and mono mappings for all the channels you’ve enabled on your audio interface. Open the properties for the main output mapping, and check that the “mixer output” combobox is showing “stereo”.

One Question I have, on one single Track I can “load” only 1 Midi channel of 16 at once?

Yes.
