ZynewaveKeymasterThis content is restricted to Podium license owners.ZynewaveKeymasterIf you create the copies by Ctrl+dragging with the mouse, you can press the Ctrl key repeatedly (while dragging) to toggle between dropping phantom or unique copies. The mouse cursor changes between ‘+’ (unique) and an arrow (phantom).
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta3 is up.
All the object icons have been redesigned so that they are unicolored. This means there shouldn’t be any visibility issues with different color setups. I’ve also fixed a lot of issues with the select and inactive select coloring various places in the UI.
Let me know what you think of the new object icons.

You’ll need to wait for the 2.37 Free version, or you could try the 2.37 demo to check if the new bypass behaviour is what you want.
ZynewaveKeymasterUnfortunately I currently don’t have an audio interface that allows selecting among different clock sources through ASIO. I’m using an RME hammerfall interface, and all clock source settings are handled in the RME control panel. I just checked that it worked when using SPDIF as clock source.
Check your E-MU control panel. Perhaps you can select SPDIF as clock source there, or at least see an indication whether the SPDIF input is present.
Also check that your SPDIF input is actually 44100 Hz. If not, then try selecting 48000 as samplerate in Podium.

– Love the new pin icon, tabs, inspector panel and editor/mixer headers. I could list a few more places that would look nice with a soft gradient like that. 😉
Then, by all means, list the places. 😉
Also, as you know from my constant complaining about this (:blush:), most icons become invisible if you use both bright text and bright selection colors (or both dark). As you’re working on them now, maybe it’s the right time to take care of this.
Please refresh my mind with an example. The new icons I’m designing are all colorized with the text or selection text color. For example, the previous pin icon was a photographic image that wasn’t colorized, so it could be difficult to see with some bright color setups. I’m going to redesign the edit tool icons so they can be colorized as well.

Nice changes elsewhere. Especially the show hide icons. Not sure if the folders fit in with the UI any more as a result.
By “show hide icons”, do you mean the new half-circle images for the old +/- buttons in the listboxes?
Maybe they (folders) should only appear if there is more than one listing / item to hide or similar. :-k
I’m not sure I understand. I assume you are talking about the folder icons shown in the file browser. Do you want those to disappear if the folder is empty? You wouldn’t know if it is a file or folder then.

Changing font size does not work here..
If you mean the font size setting in the font selection dialog, then that is ignored by Podium. I’m using the standard Windows font dialog, and I can’t hide the font style and size settings in this dialog. I don’t think it is worth the time to implement my own font selection dialog.
The font size is determined by the Default button size and Scale font size to button size settings.
ZynewaveKeymasterBeta2 is up. All plugin editors should now resize properly according to font size. Next up, I’m going to make the size of slider/fader knobs adjust to font size.
ZynewaveKeymasterDo you need the +4 GB memory for specific plugins?
Are all the plugins you use available as 64 bit versions as well?
There are utilities such as the one linked below, that allows 64-bit plugins (with +4 GB RAM access) to be used in 32-bit hosts.
http://jstuff.wordpress.com/jbridge/When I make a 64 bit version of Podium, it will at least initially only work with 64 bit VST plugins.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi,
Thanks for your feedback.

As for the other things you asked: I am using a standard MME Windows Audio Drivers
If possible, avoid using MME drivers and go with ASIO instead. You’ll get horrible performance with MME, and you need to set a large buffer size to avoid pops. I added support for MME a long time ago, and I’ve kept it in case there are Podium users that don’t have an ASIO driver installed. If your soundcard does not come with an ASIO driver, you should try the free http://www.asio4all.com driver.
ZynewaveKeymasterWith the help of another Podium user, I now know that it is the writing of the Podium.ini file that causes long delays with a lot of anti-virus programs. In a future update I’ll implement a different method for writing .ini files so that it won’t cause problems with anti-virus software.

On some laptops I know that Wi-Fi or network adapter cards can cause spikes. Try disabling these.
That did the trick.
How on earth can the Wi-Fi drivers be so badly written as to take over the whole system for a fraction of a second? Or is it a problem inherent to Windows and/or the hardware?
I think it is poor driver support, but it is a common problem with a lot of laptops. I don’t know specifically why Wi-Fi drivers are prone to blocking the system for a long period.
