Zynewave has released version
3.0.0 of Podium, a professional music production
application for Windows.
Podium is a modern production host
that integrates audio recording, VST plugins and
external MIDI and audio gear. An object based
project structure allows for advanced media and
device management.
Podium Free:
Podium Free
is a fully functional freeware edition of Podium. It
is identical to the commercial Podium version,
except for a few limitations, and a small "Podium
Free" logo.
Limitations
of Podium Free compared to the commercial version:
MIDI interface setup is limited to one input
and one output.
64-bit mixer engine option is disabled.
Plugin multiprocessing is disabled.
ReWire is disabled.
Surround-sound playback is disabled.
The disabled plugin multiprocessing
option means that only one CPU core will be used
when processing plugins. If you have a dual-core CPU
you will be able to use 50% of your available CPU
power before the Podium CPU indicator overloads.
Podium Free still uses all available CPU cores for
various tasks such as GUI updates and disk
streaming.
These limitations may change in
newer releases of Podium Free. It will depend on new
features added to Podium, and the general user
response to Podium Free.
