Reply To: Are you connected to the internet on your Podium PC?
Hope you don’t mind if I pipe in here as I’ve personally been asked about this and as a matter of fact am here looking at Podium due to some other apps connection requirements.
My answer to the poll question is infatically
No No No – Never.
A DAW is a DAW – not a browser and that is the way i treat my audio comp.
There are too many benifits for keeping a working DAW off line than on.
Same with any workstation – be them for Graphics Video etc etc.
The bad for connecting your DAW is obviouse – you may find yourself redoing your DAW or workstation due something you got off the internet.
Let alone the resouses used up by – apps calling home – updating in the middle of a project – and the ability that when your right in the middle of working on some new gunius project track – you don’t have to say no to your girlfriend who wants to check her emails at that moment.
It’s my personal preferance for a workstation anyway.
As for the manual – pdf works great! – love them – One can browse it at your leasure.
But an optional web based Help file would be a nice add.
