I'm breaking out the manual right now, but I'm curious as to anyone else seeing this kind of problem.
Whenever I open a project file that has midi tracks, the track properties are reset to default volume (Unity)and my panning data is gone. Even when I make my changes and (save as) overwrite the file in my project folder, after I've replaced the file and reload, it's still not saving the tweaks that I've done to track properties...
If I crash the track out, when I re-boot re-load re-lax, the track props show that the midi file is taken from the application data file on my hard drive and not from the external drive that I store the project and its associated media. I've also found that I can minimize my midi related crashes by replacing the midi files with themselves before I playback the track for the First time. to make a short story long: is it possible for midi information to become corrupted and thereby cause crash problems? my specs:
Acid 4.0a
900 Mhz AMD Duron
512 meg ram
ME (please stifle your laughter) it's been solid for 21/2 months with 4.0
I've shut down virus software and everything else from running in the background.
I show 93% free processing on fresh boot and 81% with just Acid running
I do not run any other programs while using Acid.
What gives?
