can't put loops into time line ? -ACID Product Family

Subject:can't put loops into time line ? Posted by: db Date:11/7/2002 5:41:45 PM OK - i'm missing something simple. i had ACID 4 pro for 6 weeks ... i have 2 loop CD's .. when i try to put any loop into ACID timeline a Audio track opens with NO audio on it . it has the name of the loop but again NO audio ?? i can put the loops into VV and it plays ? been using loops in VV for past month. i looked in KNOWLEGE BASE couldn't find anything ? Acid will open and play acid 8 packs ... however it will not allow me to put any of those loops into a different project.

You will need to paint or draw in the timeline view to add the tracks to the timeline. The acid 8 packs are generally full ACID projects with the loops already drawn out, which is why that seems to be the only part working. Hope that helps. Happy mixing. -Jenn

This is from ACID4 help/contents/editing events.../adding events... or see page 34 of the PDF manual almost anything you need to know is within these two documents(help or pdf manual) a few hours of reading will save you months of time. :)
