OK I agree - it's unintuitive. Looks pretty functional, though.

Thank you, that helped me a lot, I really couldn't figure out how to do this! Thanks!

@ClodGripHandle Every application looks different. This app is rock-solid, extremely affordable, and keeps a bunch of needless gadgets out of your workspace once they have been configured. For now, I'm going with that trade-off. I'll be back to report if I agree with your overall assessment after burning through a project or two. Give it a chance, though, or we'll be stuck with the ridiculous prices charged by the "names".

Podium is probably the hardest DAW ever to use. It is extremely unintuitive. You have to read the manual to do even the most banal operations.
