Zynewaveheh, no I meant that it cost ME five bucks, not you!
What’s five bucks between friends 😉
Like I said, I like PayPal, I have used them many many times now, and it would not cost you the extra 3.9 % because I don’t use a credit card with them, just my bank account. Do I understand that correctly?
I think so. I haven’t tried their shop setup yet, so I will know more later.
ZynewaveIt’s not a simple thing to implement, so bring it up again in a couple of months. With all the other stuff on my plate at the moment, implementing time-warped time-locked dynamically switchable linearity tempo-events will only give me a head-ache right now 😯
ZynewaveWhen you use the ‘convert to param spline’ menu on a selection of events, they are simply converted but not digitized. The length of the tangents are set to zero to make them behave exactly as param line events initially. You then need to drag the handles to apply ‘softness’ to the curve.
If you want to digitize the points making up a curve, you should select the segment which you want to convert and then use the ‘digitize spline curve segment’ menu. This is the same function that gets called when you hold the control key while releasing the mouse after drawing a curve.
Zynewaveas to when per channel eq on audio enable tracks was going to be added, or even if (as it is not in the scheduled updates?)
I cannot make any promises regarding this. As you note yourself, it is far down on the list, but that may change. If I implement it along with other built-in DSP effects, I may decide to release it as a cheap add-on license, to keep the base price of Podium low (as discussed in this topic).
VST automation other than standard MIDI
This will happen within a month.
ZynewaveAlthough it costs about five dollars for an international one, I forgot about that…. hmmm
Well, that’s still less than what Share-It will take for handling a payment, so I think I will consult my bank on how to handle money orders.
Share-It fees: 2.95€ + 5%
PayPal fees: 0.35€ + 3.9% (when using credit-card)
ZynewaveYou’re right. Doing a quantize on a curve can lead to param events stacked on the same time frame, which is quite useless. I’ll modify the quantize function so that it deletes multiple curve events falling on the same time position.
The spline handles are quit hidden when converting a curve to a spline curve. you have to drag them out of the centerbreakpoint, which sometime make you draw new events when your pencil tool is active.
The tangent of each spline point is calculated to best approximate the original curve. If you mean that it is difficult to move the event because the tangent handles are covering the center point, you can use shift to bypass selection of the handles and directly move the point.
ZynewavePerhaps a modifier key (while dragging the Volume slider) to just monitor a volume change?
I considered implementing the shift key to move a ‘ghosted’ knob to a slider position, and then releasing shift to start recording from this position. If you released the knob before releasing shift, you would have your ‘monitor’ mode for the slider. Good idea?
ZynewaveHmm, I intended the linear mode more to be used with non-musical material or mastering of a complete album etc. If you find a need for a tempo-event you should use time-signature based arrangements. The things you mentioned about warping etc. could be implemented as edit functions without the need for tempo events.
otherwise the tempo and quantize/snap functions shouldn’ t be there.
You’re right about that. It is confusing. I will disable these buttons when editing in linear mode.
ZynewaveIs there some kind of read/write function
Not currently since I’ve always disliked the principle of automation R/W buttons as used by other hosts, so I am curious:
Is there a way to disable this.
Why would you want to move the sliders if you don’t want it to be recorded? If you’re dragging the slider you can use the right mouse button to abort/undo the curve change.
Great that the sliders are moving with the mouse. Is this a sign of a release
I hope so 8). I’ve still got to do the pan automation and then fix the MIDI import before we have a potential 1.00.
ZynewaveIs tempo change not possible in linear (Sample Rate) arrangements
They are not enabled in linear mode. What would the point be? They would only be for cosmetic use, as they would not influence the timing of playback in linear mode.
Also I notice some cosmetic “problem” that the playcurser is cleaning away the tempo markers
Now that you mention it, I recall seeing this too a long time ago. I will try to trace it down.

Frits, I seem to recall that Pan Automation was fixed up a release or two ago…
How do I get it to work? I can’t seem to!!!
Pan automation is not implemented yet. It’s the only thing remaining on my ‘pre v1.00’ plan.
ZynewaveZynewavewhich causes an AV on closing the audio engine
That’s definitely the cause. The setup file is only saved as the last thing before Podium exits.
ZynewaveBug?
Don’t know, I can’t get this to happen. When you say ‘Get an arrange window’ I assume you mean you enter the arrangement editor in the main browser? Anything you change in the profile properties is saved in the setup file and not in the project file. I assume you just modified the existing profile rather than creating a new one?
btw, can I put in a request for a timed backup? I realise that it will be low on the list of priorities, but it would be great to know that it is on the way!
It’s already listed in the scheduled updates section.
ZynewaveJust to clarify:
The mapping objects shown in the browser window will never have the edit button on insert plugins. The edit buttons for insert plugins only appear on the tracks in an arrangement.
