ZynewaveKeymasterTricky thing, this latency compensation.
@Mike G wrote:
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.
ZynewaveKeymasterThe 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.
ZynewaveKeymasterI’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”.
ZynewaveKeymasterTo 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.
ZynewaveKeymasterInstalled 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.
ZynewaveKeymasterI’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.

Thanks.
I now added the rack section and uploaded correct screenshots. It’s now ready for review and corrections (especially the fixme-tagged stuff that I’m not sure about)!http://www.zynewave.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guide:track_inspector
Many thanks. I really appreciate your contributions. I’ll review the chapter later this weekend.
August 7, 2010 at 00:39 in reply to: Automatic samplerate convertion when importing soundfiles #19119ZynewaveKeymasterSample rate conversion is something I’m going to add to Podium, hopefully within a few months. It’s going to be the next step towards implementing full time-stretch support. At the moment I am focusing on getting the Podium guide completed, along with some minor UI consistency updates. After that is done, I’ll get back to working on major new features.

There is a problem exporting audio. When you bounce the master track and then you finally export it, there shouldn’t be any problem. But if after exporting the first time if, ie, you shorten the song from five minutes to four, bounce again, and export it overwritting the last file name, actually it isn’t overwritted, they’re only overwritted the first 4 minutes keeping the last minute of the first time you exported it.
I think this behaviour is inherited from bounce/region bounce.
I think that may be because the bounce sound is not cropped to the shortened bounce event. I will fix this at some point.

This video’s music was made entirely in Podium. It only features few D16 synths and fx, nothing more, you will see them in the mixer. No eq and no compression, only a small limiter in the master.
The video was recorded with a single cheap camera and while learning Vegas demo.
And yes, the guy in the video it’s me (and no, usually I don’t wear chains, (it’s a fantasy video), that’s my pc, my city, my car and my roommate’s XXXXXX enjoy 🙂
😆
Fabulous. I’ll add that as a favorite to my YouTube channel later on.
And, if I’m not mistaken, we have the same headphones. The AKG K701.
ZynewaveKeymasterSo, if you have an arrangement where you have recorded some distorted sounds with the ASIO driver, and you then switch to the Wave driver, does the arrangement play back fine without distortion?

I got around to updating the inspector chapter a bit. I’m not done yet with some things (haven’t started yet on the rack), but all relevant info from the old page should be there, so I hope you don’t mind me putting an unfinished version up.
Looking good 🙂
I totally messed up with the screenshots this time. 😳 Please delete all the images called “inspector_xxx_panel…”
The images “inspector_2010_08.png” and “inspector_rack_2010_08.png” are fine and don’t need to be deleted. Sorry for the trouble!Done.
Noticed some things during testing:
I’ll fix those issues for the next release.
ZynewaveKeymasterAs a test, try to use the Wave driver instead of ASIO, to see if you get the same kind of distortion. You’ll need to set a high buffer size to get Wave driver to work without glitches.
ZynewaveKeymasterHi,
I am using the RME HDSP PCI version on a Windows Vista PC. When I click the “driver setup” button, the “Hammerfall DSP Settings” dialog appears. If you haven’t already done so, check RME’s website for updated drivers:
http://www.rme-audio.de/en_downloads.php
On the HDSP page there are some important notes for Windows 7 installation.
If the speed is wrong in the wav file, then it could be because the sound files are recorded using a different samplerate than the samplerate you have selected in the arrangement properties dialog.
