Well I see lot of people complaining at long load and closing times of projects. From what I understand even if you insert VSTis in your project which are not used that project will save all the default banks of that VSTi. So I think it's not that useless to have controll over what is saved with your project or template.BONES wrote:ModuLR wrote:There is enough software that does exactly what you describe, so who gives a bleeeep if there are a few that slightly go against the grain.I do. Despite the fact that you are able to read whatever you like into what I say, I'd be more than interested in a better way of working. So I ask questions in the hope of getting answers. With your expressed attitude I wonder why you would bother coming here at all.
Reading kagemusha's detailed and interesting description I fail to see why its better to have to add a separate module when you want to save a patch when 80Gb hardrives cost less than a good night out. I can certainly see the attraction but I fail to see the benefit in the long run of such a disconnected workflow.
I find it more strange that you have to go to other places to see or adjust something. it's like walking around the house to enter a back or side door to switch on the light, just because the switch is not in the room itselfSo do I but when I hear something that needs changing its never more than a single mouse-click away and I can find it in a heartbeat. The flexibility described by kagemusha might give greater flexibility but would make it much harder to work with when different tracks have different numbers of inserts and some have EQ whilst others don't, etc.ModulaR wrote:Personally, I don't use the visual cues of a hardware setup for much of anything. I usually do it all thru automation and listening.
I think that hierarchic tracklist gives insight and flexibility in what is going on, and I also think that it can reflect in the organic nature of your music.
I admid it's not evident at start - it's like seeing sheet music if you don't read notes - but if you learn it , it gives you "control"
It's even not a problem that you don't need podium to make music but you are judging it to much without seeing what it can do. Podium can do what every mixer does but within another concept. Also it doesn't give respect to the person who created this application. It takes a lot of effort and work to accomplish it.
It's to easy to just say you don't like it out of the blue.
Podium adds a new value to the evolution of DAWs, just like tracktion and eXT does, althoug they have different objectives.
different strokes for different folks
