ZynewaveOK, just browsed through http://www.em411.com and my impression of the site is good. It does seem to be more focused on user reviews/submissions of interesting stuff, rather than being an info site for press-releases by companies. I wonder if it would be fitting for me to post about Podium there?
ZynewaveAgreed. I intend to put out a word when 1.10 is released later this week.
I must admit I haven’t visited 411.com much, but I’ve just signed up there, so I’ll check it out.
Thanks.
ZynewaveYes, of course. The download topic in the VIP Lounge forum now contains links to two zip files. One zip file for the main pages of the zynewave.com website, including the Podium Guide, and an additional second zip file for the videos.
Just extract the the two zip files into the same folder, and you can surf the entire zynewave.com website offline, with the exception of the Community pages.
ZynewaveA few technical details:
Some of the updates in this release are made in preparation for implementing bussing in the mixing engine. As a result of the extended error check on preset objects and global instance mappings, your old projects may show some new track error popups. Follow the description in the popups to resolve the conflicts.
If you have used global plugins in your older projects and have placed MIDI mappings on subtracks of a track with an audio mapping, you need to move the group of MIDI tracks up on a level outside the plugin audio track.
The reason for this restriction is because tracks with MIDI and audio mappings of a global plugin need to be compensated with the same latency delay. If you in previous Podium versions would insert a plugin with latency delay between a parent track with an audio mapping and a child track with a MIDI mapping of a global plugin, the latency calculation routines would fail.
ZynewaveZynewaveAssuming you have assigned the plugin on a track and monitoring is active; create a new bank library preset on the track using the track menu. Right click on the new preset in the preset list (or press Alt+Enter with key focus in the list) to get to the properties dialog for the preset. Choose the ‘Import…’ button and locate the fxb file.
After exiting the dialog the new bank should now be loaded into the plugin. You may additionally want to use the track menu ‘Update programs list’ to update the list of presets in the ‘Programs’ folder to the new contents of the plugin preset bank.
ZynewaveOk, the forum is now open.
Some of you mentioned that you would like to contribute definition files. Go for it.
ZynewaveHi nhytro,
I believe the ASIO problem with Creamware cards is resolved. I have not had the chance to test it myself, but nproject responded to the 0.92 release topic that it had fixed his problems. Download the demo and try it out.

ZynewaveHi loop,
No, sorry. Some plugins support MIDI parameters as well as VST parameters, so these plugins can be controlled with a MIDI keyboard.

ZynewaveZynewaveIf you have changed the output configuration in Battery, you will have to reimport Battery to make Podium create mappings for the new outputs.
If you can see several output mappings for Battery in the track inspector map list, you assign each output you want to use to a new track. To play MIDI into battery you place a note sequence feeding into one of the tracks with a Battery map.
ZynewaveBattery and outputs has been discussed here:

ZynewaveMany thanks,
I have pondered over how to handle this, but it’s great to have an example scenario laid out as clean as this. I’m not far away from beginning implementation of bussing support, so I appreciate any input people may have on various bussing strategies.
ZynewaveThanks Duncan 🙂
This will work with plugins that has a predictable output. Some plugins may use a slight randomization in their output, or maybe an LFO that is not time synced etc. If you do this with these plugins you may get a click at the punch in and punch out positions in the recorded audio, unless there is silence at punch in and out. But you are well aware of that already I’m sure.
