Sound Problem with Acid 4.0a -ACID Product Family - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Sound Problem with Acid 4.0a Posted by: knowbody Date:12/8/2002 4:19:53 AM Suddenly I'm having real problems with Acid. I'll be playing a mix and suddenly the sound will stutter or stop and once or twice Acid has completely crashed (even CTRL+ALT+DEL did nothing). rebooting does not solve the problem. There's nothing I can pinpoint, except that the mixes that die usually have a combination of midi and wav with one bus attached. Is anyone else having similar problems. Any ideas folks?

Subject:RE: Sound Problem with Acid 4.0a Reply by: knowbody Date:12/8/2002 8:58:46 PM Thanks for the reply - do you mean go back to Acid 4.0 or remove Acid and reinstall 4.0a? Thanks, Chris

Not knowing at one point the sound is going to lock up in a track is really frustrating. If it weren:t for teh buses I:d be back using Acid 2 - at least that hardly ever hung. Chris (Hunt)

i had crashes like you described when i was using audio tracks with lots of automation + midi tracks that were routed to soft synths...some of those soft synths use up LOTS OF system resources, so even tho you have a pretty fast machine...you might wanna try bouncin those tracks first ("render as...") n then delete the synths...
