Zynewave Podium vs Harrison Mixbus

Most DAWs suffer from software bloat, with constant updates adding unnecessary features. Not Podium. This makes it easier to focus on making music.

The piano roll is excellent.

Using the navigator at the top of the screen, Podium users can click and zoom, adjust the edges of the viewed area, or click a programmable button to the left of the navigator that jumps to a selected view.

Mice with 4-way scroll wheels are compatible with Podium.

Zynewave plugins use custom editors that are built in to the inspector's rack panel, allowing users to adjust settings without having to open a new window.

Many parts of the interface are designed as one function per control for ease and simplicity, and are modeled after physical consoles and mixer controls to further that end
