Subject:saved programs won't load properly - please help!

I'm having a bit of a problem when saving projects in Acid and then closing the program and coming back to it later, those saved projects don't sound. Specfically I'm using Battery as my soft synth plugin and using the piano roll to write some drum music. It works fine the first time but when I try and reload those programs, all the info is there but they don't sound at all! I haven't changed any settings at all either. In fact I just made a quick 2 second test with Battery in Acid and got the same results when I tried to reload it no more than a mintue later.

Any advice/suggestions???

thanks,
Adam

Is the MIDI track being routed properly to Battery when you come back to the project later? Do the volume meters move?

How would I check to find if the MIDI track is routed properly? I'm still pretty new to this. I know the volume meters haven't changed, even if they did I made it so there is ample volume.

In the track list, there should be a small button to the right of the volume in a particular MIDI track that allows you to route the track to a desired soft synth. Click it to choose which soft synth you want the MIDI track to be routed.

Remember that the soft synth (in this case, Battery) should be added and present in the Mixer in order for it to be available.
