For me the size of the level meter drops down to soon to make place for the Solo/Mute/Record buttons…
I’ll see if I can optimize this. Note that if you have enabled RMS metering on a track (click the meter to toggle this), then the RMS level indicators are drawn on the right side of the meter. That’s why there is a space between the meter and the BSMR buttons.

The mixing chapter should be mostly finished now, apart from a few fixme’s and those inevitable things that I forgot to mention.
I haven’t touched the levels section because it seems to be a mix of general mixer stuff, parameter automation, and of course relics from extended mode. 🙂 As such, I don’t know what to do with it yet.
Many thanks. The guide is catching up with the Podium development. :D/
Alas, the next 2.36 release will feature some graphics changes that makes your nice new mixer screenshots somewhat outdated. 😳
When it’s done I’d like to try my pen on the sequence events chapter.
It’s all yours.
Oh, and I think, when everything else is finished, we could do with a chapter for all things related to surround sound. You know what wouldn’t hurt either? A Zynewave surround panner. O:)
Good idea with the separate surround chapter.
I’m about to create a new preview topic for 2.36, so perhaps we should continue the discussion in that topic.
ZynewaveI’m not sure I fully understand. Can you describe what you want in more detail?
You cannot route audio from a parent track to its own child tracks. Everything flows upwards in the hierarchy.

Also, Alt+clicking doesn’t unassign auto-assigned inputs.
Correct. Would you expect Alt+Click to disable the “auto-assign to focus track” menu option? If you move focus to another track, then the auto-assign will thus no longer be effective.
Edit: Also also, what about the source/track menu mixup (the last fixme remaining)?
I haven’t looked at this yet. Perhaps it’s best to make the shown menu a full track menu instead of a source menu?
ZynewaveYes, I understood your description of the two types of latencies from your first post. What was the question again?
I think recorded material should be compensated so that when played back, it is reproduced as it was performed, and not as it was (or if it was) monitored through Podium. The only case where it would make sense to compensate the recording to the monitored signal, was if the performer actually sang/performed ahead of time, to make his/her own monitored signal sound in sync. That surely is not the best way to go about recording.

May ask, there where is tracks, editor, mixer etc. buttons and if you click mixer, it naturally open mixer. But same time you lost VSTI’s editor button on playlist view. This is pretty stupid. Need to click “tracks” again to get editor button visible, which takes unnecessary time.. Too many clicks..
That’s a setting you can change in the mixer region dialog. I disabled the controls in the mixer default setup, because the mixer has all the controls normally on the track headers, and I wanted to show that it’s possible to configure the layout of the track headers. I’ve now removed that customization in the default setup, to avoid confusion.

If you’re working on mixer gui maybe it’s the right moment to ask for wider resizable meters and ctrl+alt+mousewheel as shortcut to zoom mixer strips as we do in arrangement and editos.
Resizable meters won’t make it into this release, but the slide and zoom tools will.
ZynewaveTricky thing, this latency compensation.

When I play back after recording including the guitar has the acc guitar now moved forward (compensated) 10ms so it is at the same position it was when I was playing along?
Yes. Recordings made from audio inputs assigned on a track will be compensated assuming that what you record is performed in sync with something that you play back in Podium, even if it’s just the metronome.
ZynewaveThe next Podium 2.36 release will feature some improvements to the mixer. The mixer zoom slider now ranges from 20% to 200%. As you move it below 100% and towards 20%, some of the controls will disappear, such as the BSMR buttons and the grid control. Still, at 20% you have the full-size meters as well as the faders overlaid translucent on top of the meters. That actually turned out to work quite well during my experiments.
ZynewaveI’ve now read the track inspector chapter, and I think it’s excellent. This would have taken me days to write myself. I hope I can repay you for your efforts with some cool new features in the next Podium release 😉
When embedded plugin editors are enabled, a show/hide button appears to the right of each selector that holds a VST plugin (or hardware definition?).
Only VST plugins. You can delete the hardware definition question.
Note: The first MIDI input device detected by Podium is configured to be auto-assigned in newly created projects. (Or is it arrangements?)
I would say “is by default configured to be auto-assigned in newly created projects.”

Minor thing: I see you use Enter rather than Return in pop-up help and such. So I changed all my returns to enters in the inspector chapter, although I only know this key as return… going to look it up now. 😉
Let me know if you find a description of a standard. I also call the main return key for “Return”, and the enter key on the num pad for “Enter”. But when I look at the menus in various Microsoft applications, they all show the key shortcut as: “Properties Alt+Enter”.
ZynewaveTo determine which plugin may be causing this, you could try to remove one of the two from the track, and save a copy of the project file.
You could also try to switch off the power button in the arrangement editor, before saving. If the crash is due to unstable plugins, then doing it this way could possible avoid the crash.
ZynewaveInstalled 3.084 RME HDSP driver, and it’s working fine.
What I also noticed: when I use the ASIO driver, Podium seems to pass through all the input channels to the respective output channels. Is there any way to disable that? And these signals already sound distorted.
That’s not something I do in Podium. Have you checked your channel routings and options in the RME mixer?
If still no success, you could try to install the http://www.ASIO4ALL.com driver.
ZynewaveI’m using a very old driver for my RME. It has worked flawlessly, so I haven’t had a reason for updating. I’ll try to update to the latest driver version tomorrow, and see if there are problems with it.
