At present, I am nowadays using Podium solely for its editor screens, both MIDI and audio. Naturally, like others, I’ve tried numerous workarounds - almost always resulting in a total fail and using up far too much of my time and energy. If the coding is too hard to change, could a new ‘hybrid’ track be added in to fix this? A third kind of track that will accept anything inserted on it? Podium is critically limited in track flexibility. What’s far worse, however, is the red warnings at too many turns when things are simply no-go. Yet the whole thing works just fine when I solo and audition each clip into the drum machine. Even dropping a few MIDI clips, each in a separate track, below the group head track containing a drum VSTi gets me a red warning on each MIDI track. I’m constantly being rewarded by some red warning notice that I can’t do this or that when I work. Insisting on a couple of measures of ‘click’ before the recording starts may seem like a silly thing, but it makes all the difference in the world between keeping Podium a modern up-to-date professional DAW or having it left in the past.Īnd although I fully realise that the routing features (or limitations) are hard-coded deep within Podium’s structure (meaning a much harder thing to fix, certainly), the lack of being able to route MIDI, use MIDI FX, route audio easily from any input or source to any place, and similar, makes Podium unusable for me on at least half of my projects. These were both ridiculously small features, such as a Pre-Roll/Count-In added to the metronome, to larger things, such as some users’ request for full Time Stretching and others’ (including me) requesting significantly improved routing abilities. Thing is, we all came together over a year ago and considered just a handful of various features we truly wanted and/or needed. My Podium license is up for renewal, don’t really need the Warmverb addition or any of the latest or upcoming changes, but probably would like to keep my license current and active.
