Most of my VSTi are still not in Sync with acid...
Did u guys just fix the sync with fruity loops or did u work on a Syncable Host ?
(can't sync energy pro and many more,that sync perfecly in cubase SX)
any solutions or things I'm missing ?

ACID provides the timing info to any VSTi that asks for it.
How are they not syncing?
What plugs - vendor/model - are not syncing?

What is your audio buffer size set to?

Actually, they didn't fix that either. They managed to get Fruity to play along with ACID but there is a sync offset between ACID and Fruity. If the ACID playback buffer is set to 0.10 seconds, ACID will lag behind Fruity by approximately 23 ticks. The lag will increase as the playback buffer is increased. For example, if the ACID playback buffer is increased to the default 0.35 seconds, ACID will lag behind Fruity by approximately 120 ticks.

Any ideas?

n-Track Studio keeps perfect sync regardless of buffer settings, so it looks like n-Track will remain as my preferred Fruity host untill SF sort this out.

My buffer size are set to 512,but for this matter it is not even a problem of Lag,
It doesn't Sync at all... try this one (energy PRO) http://webmassiva.com/energy/
I'm going to test some other VSTi from big vendor like steinberg and Native to see what happens...

Well I download this energy demo. It never asks for the VST Time info, so I don't see how it could sync to ACID's tempo or meter information. The pro version wont work at all for me. Doesn't even show up.

Also, how do you actually get the thing to play something? There are no docs that I could find.

The Pro version works Fine with Cubase SX (It Syncs and all)
So maybe SX is using a different technic to send Time info (I dont know...)

To test energy pro just play the default sequence on a midi keyboard just like any synth,the sequence should Sync straight away to the tempo...

It shows up fine in ACid 4.0a for me,the only trouble is the tempo is not following thats all...

Hope u can work it out.
