30GB free space should be enough to not cause these issues. I’m running out of ideas of what else to suggest. If you have files in your Documents folder on which you cannot remove the ‘read-only’ option checkmark, then something is going on outside of Podiums control. Did you run the ‘Check > Scan drive’ tool on the drive?

That sounds spooky. Do you have more than one drive in your PC? Is there plenty of free HD space available? Have you checked your PC with virus/malware detection software?

It may also be worth doing a check for file system errors: In the Windows File Manager, open the Properties dialog for the drive, and click the “Check” button on the Tools page.

If you open the properties dialog for one of the read-only files, deselect the “Read-only” checkbox, and press OK, does that not make the file writable again?

If that works, you can select multiple files in the File Explorer and open the Properties dialog to remove the Read-only checkmark for all files in one go.

I don’t know how some of your document files suddenly are read-only. Perhaps it could have happened if you for example have copied your documents from a read-only backup media.

Hi Michael.

This is a confusing behavior that I have considered changing. What probably happens in your case is that when you use the segment cut/copy commands, the hidden sound events on the bounce tracks are also manipulated and can become fragmented. You can verify this by temporarily showing the master bounce track: In the track inspector rack, right-click the ‘Bounce’ button in the master section, and uncheck ‘Hide Track Lane’.

An alternative solution could be if Podium excluded the hidden bounced audio from any segment editing to avoid the fragmentation. The downside would then be that any segment editing will cause existing bounced audio to be out of sync with the edited segments.

Which of these two behaviors would you prefer?

A quick way to ‘clean up’ the fragmented bounce track is to disable the ‘Enable Offline Render Bouncing’ mode on the track, and then reenable it.

Hi Jeffrey. Can you describe in more detail how you are recording the guitar: Are you using a microphone or have you connected your guitar directly to your audio interface? When you say ‘reverb’ do you mean a reverb plugin you have inserted on the track?
