The record

Product: Podium is a digital audio workstation for Windows that records and edits audio and MIDI and hosts VST instrument and effect plugins.
Project structure: Projects can contain unlimited arrangements that share sequences and sounds.
Recording: Podium can record any number of MIDI and audio inputs simultaneously and supports loop recording on audio input tracks.
Mixing: The hierarchical track engine supports group tracks, multicore plugin processing, automatic delay compensation, and up to 100 mixer bus instances.
Audio formats: Podium supports Wave and AIFF files with up to 32 channels and RF64 files larger than 4 GB.
Plugins: Podium supports VST 2.4 plugins and includes zPEQ, zReverb, and zPitch.
Hardware routing: Podium can route external MIDI and audio devices in its track hierarchy and compensate for their latency.
Demo: The Podium demo page lists version 3.4.2, released April 2, 2022; demo reminders appear, audio drops temporarily every 60 seconds, and preset import and export are disabled.
System requirements: The maker lists Windows 7 or Windows 10, an 800 MHz CPU, 512 MB system memory, a graphics card with 32 MB memory, and an ASIO or MME sound driver as minimum requirements.
Support: The maker directs users to Podium forums for technical support and discussion, with a separate VIP forum for license owners.
Security and activation: The maker states Podium has no copy protection and does not require software activation or further authorization after installation.
Payment: Zynewave says PayPal handles online payments and that customers can pay by credit card on PayPal without having a PayPal account.
License terms: The maker says Podium licenses cannot be sold or transferred, and an expired upgrade period does not end the license to use versions already downloaded.
Free edition limits: Podium Free disables ReWire, surround playback, the 64-bit mixer option, and plugin multiprocessing, and limits MIDI interface setup to one input and one output.
