i love acid,i love this direction,i truly hope you guys get it together,but acid 4.a is anything but stable.sometimes i work on a song, save it, and then i try to open it and i get an error message.i cant open that song,its now corrupeted.

im really trying to work with A4. i like it alot, but its unpredictable.


in the past i only wanted rewire master capabilties so i could open up reason and have it synced to acid,that would be heaven,but now i want rewire slave capabilties so i can open cubase sx,and use its midi and vsti capabilitys,rewire acid for loops,and open up reason for its thing.

i have faith that one day A4 will be as solid as A2 but until that day i could continue working now

here's a guess because i have'nt jumped on the broken a4 bandwagon but considering it is a sofo product, perhaps excessive defrag is the answer to alot of problems posted here.

i remeber learning the hard way with a3 that its best to defrag after every windows session. for some reason a3 is the only s/w i have that requires this. vst and the others don't get fragged like acid.

Years ago, Cubase used to be supper buggy. Now it is better than ever. Rewire is the best thing yet and I know nothing that comes even close. Rex files are incredible! No software comes even close to Cubase midi features. Steinberg is definitely the midi King.

Now, I only make my beats with Acid loops(other companies make better Acidized loops); I use Beat Creater to make Acid loop better and I put the result into Cubase. I compose everything with midi and my drum beats are Acidized loops from other companies. Everything is done with Cubase and my external wave editor is BeatCreator.

i use to do something similar,but then i discovered abelton live.it has acid like features but best of all ,it has rewire.cubase,reason and abelton synced beautiful together.but in the end, id render everything and mix and rearange everything back in acid.i truly love the user interface , i love the way you can offset loops ,and the paint tool makes arranging so easy. i also like the way midi is painted in A4 but its not ther yet.A4 has potential but it could take years to get there.cubase/nuendo reason, abelton ready now.give us rewire and acid is ready NOW , not just sometime.
you could still moveforward with the devolpment of A4(the loop based daw).but most of us would be working and happy now.

thankyou 4 reading

I too like REX files.... is there any way they could be imported into ACID, or is it a pro[ellerheads-only codec???

Jacose,

As long as your projects are 44100 Hz, you can use Bitshift Audio's pHATmatik 1.1 to open and play with REX files. It's a free VSTi available here. I'm hoping they'll patch it eventually to work with higher bit-depths and sample rates, but hey, it's free. If you want even more control, try pHATmatik Pro. Is more fun in my opinion, but that's just my workstyle.

Hope this helps,
Nick
