ZynewaveZynewaveHi. I can see all three transactions in my PayPal account, but the first two are marked as “pending” payment status with a “There is an open dispute associated with this transaction.” notification. The PayPal control panel does not allow me to refund these two transactions yet. Have you contacted PayPal about these two transactions? What are your options for these two transactions in your PayPal control panel?
I will of course refund your purchases if the purchases are not cancelled by PayPal before they are marked as completed.
ZynewaveI’ve just applied another batch of website updates, and I made some page design changes which I believe fixes all errors. The page header now includes a search form and login form, visible at all times. Let me know if you encounter new problems with the website.
ZynewaveThere is no command to export stems. This should indeed be done with the bounce system. If you bounce enable all the tracks that you want to export as stems, you can use the “File/Render all inactive bounce tracks” to avoid having to do the bounce manually for each bounce track.
ZynewaveHi Paul. This is possible. Use the “Window/New Project Window” command, and move the new window to your second screen. If you have the “Window/Link Project Windows” menu option enabled the two windows will sync their navigation. On the second window you then select the mixer profile.
ZynewaveHi Paolo. To record MIDI tracks you need to enable the MIDI drivers. This is not built into the ASIO driver. Open the Interfaces/MIDI I/O page and ensure you have enabled the interfaces that connects your Yamaha to your computer.
ZynewaveYou couldn’t navigate the website or get to the log in page, so that needed to be fixed. I am working on Podium development almost every day of the week, and I hope to get back to that once I’ve fixed the broken things on the website.
ZynewaveSorry Stacy, I think I may have been too quick deleting a mail you just sent me. I thought it was a notification of a forum reply. Could you resend the mail, please?
ZynewaveSorry for the late reply. If you bounce the arrangement master track, and play back the arrangement with the master bounce enabled, is the audio dropout present here as well? I’m trying to determine if the dropouts you hear are due to CPU/memory overload during playback, or if the dropouts are actually present in your recorded tracks.
ZynewaveVST3 support is something I will work on in the future. Are there any current popular plugins that are available only as VST3 and not VST2?
ZynewaveWhen the plugin was imported into the plugin database, did it create a global instance #1 folder with mappings for all the audio outputs and MIDI 1-16 mappings? If so, you can drag this folder onto the bottom blank track header area to have it automatically set up a new group track with all the mappings on child tracks.
ZynewaveHi Stacy. Compared to the latest Podium Free release, the way the plugin database is handled has been updated in the latest Podium release. Select the “Setup/Plugin Database” menu to open a page for the database. Verify that this contains all your plugins. If not, then rebuild the database, and save it when you close the page. This database is the one that will be used whenever you create a new project. If you update the database you can load it into your existing projects with the “Device/Load Plugin Database” menu found on the project page (close the arrangement editor to go back to the project page).
ZynewaveThe paid version also has this limitation.
ZynewaveDoes the stuttering occur at the same position on each playback? If you zoom in on the waveform where the stuttering occurs, is there a visible gap?
If the stuttering is random, you could try to adjust your interface settings. Make sure you have selected the ASIO driver for your Alesis interface. The Alesis ASIO options dialog should include a setting for the size of the audio buffer. Try to increase this and see if that eliminates the stuttering.
ZynewaveHi Nick. You are correct in your observation about no playback on a record armed audio track with punch-in/out set. As soon as an audio track is record armed, its playback is muted, regardless of whether a punch range has been set. I may change this behavior in the future.
As a workaround you could work with two tracks within a group track, where one track is record armed with the audio input assigned, and the other is purely a playback track. When you have recorded something on the record armed track you want to keep and preview on your next punch-in/out take, you can drag the sound event to the playback track.
