ZynewaveMerry Christmas from me too. I’m back from a family-visit, and about to resume work on 2.41. 🙂
ZynewaveThe project and sound files will only be saved if you select the save command. You can just ignore the naming of the project if you don’t intend to save the project. The project name you specify will be used to create the project sub folder and project file once you select the save command the first time.

I’m new here….. how do I vote? I don’t see a voting platform in Firefox.
I haven’t tried it in Firefox. In IE explorer there are radio buttons next to each poll option at the top, and a submit button below the options. Once you’ve pressed submit, the poll buttons disappear, and you are shown the poll results.
Anyone else have problems with the poll feature in Firefox?

Also when I used the wave editor and selected a section, then did a fade-in, Podium was crashing, and I can reproduce it.
Hi Gino,
I just tested the fade-in command, and I did manage to get a crash if I selected a segment that stretched beyond the end of the sound. I’ll fix that. Let me know if you can get it to crash in another way.

I’ve been using a project template to start projects with my preferred bus configuration up until now, but I thought I’d try to skip a step and directly use the plug-in database file.
After some testing, am I right in thinking that when you create a project and select “load plugin database”, that really only the plug-ins are loaded from PluginDatabase.pod? I’m asking because it seems that the bus mappings I edited (amount, names, folder structure, etc.) are not loaded, and the default bus setup is created instead. The same goes for audio/MIDI devices, but that is obvious enough as you select them on the new project page.
So… if that means the entries for busses and audio/MIDI devices in PluginDatabase.pod aren’t ever used, why’re they in it? :-k
Correct. Only plugin device objects are loaded from the plugin database file. The bus, audio and MIDI mappings are there, because the plugindatabase.pod file is saved like a standard project. I hope you can forgive me for not writing code that removed these mappings from the database file. Since we’re striving for perfection here, let’s put this on the todo list for 2012. 😉
ZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveZynewaveThanks for the bug reports. I’m about to release 2.40 at long last, so I’ll look at fixing these bugs for 2.41.

Windows Mobile / Windows Phone….?
Windows Mobile versions up to 6.5 are running on low-spec devices that cannot handle Podium. Windows Phone 7 is not currently an option, as MS requires that all development is done using the C# programming language. If they in a future update open up for native programming (i.e. C++), then it’s possible that Mobium will run on Phone 7 devices. The same thing happened with Android, which up to Android 1.5 only could be programmed with the Java programming language.

I would send a beta version on a floppy disk by postal mail to you. 😉
I belive it should be ‘floppy disks’…if you don’t have a way like when you cut a piece out of a 5 1/3 floppy to be able to use the other side as well 😉
Are you that old too? 😉 Ahh, the good old Commodore 64 days.

I think the iPhone/iPod 3.5″ display is too small for serious arrangement work. It will be handy as a portable recorder, and as a quick way to make beats in the drum map editor. I would not find it enjoyable to work on a full arrangement. For that, you’ll need a tablet size device.
That is an interesting point there: why would you use Mobium, which would be a full-fledged studio environment, for something as simple as this on the go? I love Podium, but there are a lot of iPhone apps available that already do these things, and quite possibly do it better (as in they’re quicker or easier to use) because they were designed from the ground up for just one thing, as well as specifically for mobile touch-screen devices.
If the plan is to get the full Podium ported to an iPad-sized device in order to use it as a complete DAW, that’s fine. But just minimizing the interface and making it more touch-screen-friendly while leaving everything as-is isn’t going to work very well because it’s still going to come across as complicated, I think… even more so because of how simple to use most programs for these devices right now.
Nevertheless, I do very much support this development! 🙂
I’m not saying Mobium would be the ideal application if all is needed is a simple audio recording app. But it would be practical for someone that may know Podium already, either from Windows or from iPad. The iPod Touch has the same mem/cpu specs as the iPad, so it can be used as a way to have your Podium projects in your pocket, either for playback or for transport to a friends PC/iDevice.

Otherwise, my other option is to be silent about what I’m working on presently, and only release 0.1 or 0.5 version updates each 6 months. These larger updates will then have a wider range of features that hopefully will include something useful for most users.
But… but… who would beta test them? 🙁
I would send a beta version on a floppy disk by postal mail to you. 😉

I think the iPhone version looks gorgeous but wouldn’t a multi-track audio app be limited without a Line in? (yes you can record directly I suppose but the quality is variable). Or are you planning to include some sound generators (instruments or sample players)?
I found out after I purchased my iPod Touch that there is a way to get line input. All you need is a special splitter cable to get both headphone out and mic in connectors. Some of these “cables”, such as the IK Multimedia iRig, have line-level attenuation on the mic in plug connector. This page has a good overview of the available accessories:
