New to Zynewave

Hi there,

I just downloaded Zynewave 2.3 and am completely new to making music on a computer. I am having issues with loading VST's into Podium and also hearing the tracks play. My VST's are not located in the device section under Inspector, but I can find them in the Browse section and add them onto tracks from there. Also, once the tracks are added I cannot hear them play. Help! Thanks.

I am not an expert with computers, but it sounds to me like something went wrong with the setup.

To get VSTs working, go to Preferences -> plug-ins from the menu at the top, and make sure "VST plugins scan folder" is pointing to your VST folder. Then you have to scan them. You do that by going to the main project page and where it says "Devices - I/O, Busses, Plugins" pull down the menu and choose "rebuild and load plugin database".

To make sure the sound is working properly, you go back to the top menu and choose setup -> MIDI/Audio Interfaces and make sure Podium is properly set up to use your soundcard or interface.

Hey, ms, I'm still real new to Podium, too, but I might suggest something I've learned already. When you have MIDI in and outs all hooked up and working it can sometimes block or interfere with the audio, depending on if you are using certain ASIOs. This is not a bug, just something to be mindful of.

When I am done using MIDI, I will disconnect that stuff and check to make sure my audio is set right and then return to full audio playback. If you can post more details someone might be able to figure out what's going on. My hunch so far is that it has to do with what audio driver(s) you use.

Someone else will know more about the issue regarding your plugins.
