If it hasn't been done yet, here's mine :

- Crossfades ! (that one should be easy to prog)
- Direct Input (for playing a guitar live throught an Fx for example)
- Ability to change default SF Track Eq with a third party Eq (i.e. Waves')
- Vst Effect support (so we do not need a Vst to Dx adaptator anymore)
- Vst Instruments full automation (that one would be great)

Anything else ? Anyone ? Thanx for replying suggestions !

- Ability to change default SF Track Eq with a third party Eq (i.e. Waves')
You can already do this.

- Start a new proj
- Add a loop (any loop)
- Set the FX chain for the track to what you want
- Right click on the track and select

"Set default track properties"

Check the FX box (and any other "defaults" you want to set).

Click OK.

Start a new project and all audio tracks will now use the defaults you have specified.

You can already crossfade across tracks. Select two events on separate tracks, and press F.

Direct In would be nice, wouldn't it? Not easy to do however..

To use a different chain by default on a track, just change a track's FX chain, and then right-click it to choose Set Default Track Properties....

VST effect support...

By full automation, could you expound on that a little, please? Are you using 4.0e?

Thanks, and HTH a bit,
Joel

Thank you SoFo Guys for your answers!
Just a question to you Joel: You just answer in your message "VST effect support..."

What does it mean? Is VST FX support planned in Acid5 ?

Personaly, i'm really really happy with version 4. I don't need rewire, and other "specific" stuff that do not make Acid what acid is First: a Loop compositing tool.

jam

i think the only think acid is lacking is a MIDI tempo track, instead of marker based tempo. actually, you could still have marker based tempo and just have it correspond with the midi track.

Acid is an amazing tool and i hope whyen 5 comes out it maintains stability :)

vstfx support would be nice without a wrapper, as some of these wrappers do not work right, sometimes.... but im doing just fine for now.

one thing that i think is needed in EVERY HOST --- INCLUDING ACID

is a freeze function, like logic or samplitude.

I simply do not believe that fx freeze will work flawlessly in every host i want to use it in. I prolly wont even buy it cause of my skepticism.

As far as automation, isnt there already full automation of vstis????

I dont know what this guy is talking about no offense.. and as far as changing a DX effect, that is reallll easy.. read the manual a bit ;) i had to along time ago and realize acid was way more than a looper.

pithc envelopes sound nice, you could make a record scrathing thing,

and reverse would be soooo amazing. That would really help with some of my songs...

also, enabling a midi tempo track in vegas, as well as rewire, and making both hosts rewire hosts and slaves, would really increase integration.

either that, or somehow enable a new type of track (besides loop, midi, oneshot and beatmapped)

that would allow seperate takes per track. this is THE ONLY vegas feature that should make it into acid.. acid should NEVER BECOME VEGAS. :)

"No additional VST support, keep VSTi if necessary and expand into DXI and MFX support - Keep it sane and stable"

Why DXi?
Most if not ALL DXi are in VSTi format anyway.

Off the top of my head
I would rather see at least 12 tracks of Vegas style recording.
A true midi sequencer.
A drum grid added to the piano roll.
VST and DX fx with GUI type automation.
A Mixer page, ala Pro-Tools.
User assn. Track, Bus, Edit and Mix Grouping.
Trigger one shots and wave files from a midi keyboard controller.
Mixing and Fx control from HUI type controller.
Grouping one shot wave files to create a virtual loop and paint it out as you would a regular Acid wave loop.
User assn. keyboard shortcuts.
Better Vegas integration, like Save As Vegas or OMF session
Built in soft sampler that could read the popular sampler formats that are out.
Groove Extract and Quantize of Midi and Audio files.
Reverse Sample feature.
Tempo and Pitch envelopes.

I'd like to see some form of backwards compatability with older Acid versions so if 5 is buggy (like 4 was initially - or maybe still?) you can save a project as an older version and use in 3.... I know you couldn't save functions that older versions don't have but at least the rough outline of the project.

Hi all, first of all, i have Acid Pro 4.0e, a P4 2Ghz 512Mb + M-Audio D44.

For Peter :
Wow ! I thought i knew everything of Acid but Peter's trick is a very nice one ! Thanx alot... Anyway the default SF Eq is the best one to quickly hear which frequency has to be cut off or boosted ^^.

For Joel :
- I didn't know that one (i used to do it with the mouse). But in my previous post i meant "within the same track" like i saw Pro Tools could do you know ?
- I have a Midiman (M-Audio) Radium 61 with knobs to control VSTi's. My wish was to be able to record an automation of... For example... The cutoff or resonnance knobs within the Pro-52 (Native Instruments).

Something you have to fix is the Cut/Copy/Paste of the automation... A bit unstable as far as i remember. Not quite easy to use too, but that's not a big deal.

VST fx compatibility would be nice but not that much necessary, it will just free some time up for the art (isn't that what technology's made for ?).

PS : still donno why Acid Pro isn't part of my Audio Engeneer school's program (S.A.E. France).

- So what's the next big step for Acid then ? (said Candide)
- Dedicated hardware ! Yeah baby !

That is what i love about sofo vegas and acid... no mixer page. only real mixer section is for busses, aux, and master :)

I would rather see at least 12 tracks of Vegas style recording.


if they can do 12, they can do 9999... lol . but at least 12 would be nice :)

interesting, what do you mean by this george?

yes, i didnt understand this either... lol

im no software engineer, but i think that because of the nature of the programs involved, acid projects could NOT be truly converted to ANY other multitrack format succesfuly.


Built in soft sampler that could read the popular sampler formats that are out.


cool thought, but i think this is asking too much. there are many software samplers that do the job, Kontakt, giga, halion.. these integrate and do a good job. for the ACID devs to get into softsampling would, IMO, detract from the real issues at hand.

Groove Extract and Quantize of Midi and Audio files.


in addition to yet another one of georges great ideas, I would LOVE a huge amount of Groove Quantize settings. ones that really humanize midi files. that would be great!!!!

great stuff george, good to see ppl thinking!!!! :)

No problem, none taken.
I use Acid 4 for creating, I would like to stay in Acid even when doing scratch vocals or live instruments or just getting a rough mix to get out the door, for me the scrolling the buses over when I need to adjust something I could never get use to, with a controller like the HUI I could hit a keyboard short cut and I'm in the mix page. If it doesn't work for you cool stay with the buses.

The track count?
I don't think they will give unlimited tracks because of Vegas.
I just want enough to get my ideas down without going into Vegas or Pro-Tools

Lets try this.

I have a Midiman (M-Audio) Radium 61 with knobs to control VSTi's. My wish was to be able to record an automation of... For example... The cutoff or resonnance knobs within the Pro-52 (Native Instruments).

I think you can do that now by recording an automation track on the Same Midi channel as your pro 53. Hit record, midi track, start at position...move your sliders/knobs to affect the midi parameter you want to control. I usually save those as the "control track for X-synth-patchname bars (xxx-xxx).

This is where being able to group tracks like Cubase would be useful...
This is my workaround for that problem. I'm not the greatest with this software, but I hope this helps!

I would like better sample management. By this I mean that my hard drive is littered with huge wav files called "track 45" and "track 46". Sure you can name them when you're about to record, but then I typically will have three or four tries playing the piece before I get it just right - I'm not going going to stop and rename every time.

The when I go into the drive and have a look at all this anonymous stuff I have no idae what it is. So I play the wavs. But now I have the porblem that often there are long periods of silence before the music starts since I have started recorded before the section I want to get the feel right.

Now, is this just incredibly poor sample management by me, am I missing some fundamental way to organise things, or is this just the way Acid does things ?

What I'd like to be able to do is hit some option that says: "Trim all recorded samples" and "delete recordings not used on tracks". Obviously they'd be called snappier things than this, but you get the idea: options to automatically clear away all the crap you've recorded but decided not to use; and also to trim the areas not in the song.

I suppose I could render each track then delete the temp file, but this is all getting into more file management than I want to bother with...

Poor sample management. <jk> ;o)

What you could do is set the Loop Region over a specified area and turn loop playback on (Q on your keyboard) and do multiple takes with just one track. Then take the best take out of that one track and bounce that down.

I always give projects their own independent folders and place takes in their respective projects' folders. (Once you record once in a specific folder, ACID will remember that specific folder the next time you open that specific project.)

It's important to keep on top of managing your recorded material, including naming the recording. You will save yourself some heartache later on if you keep everything labeled. For example, if you label recordings with a date and what part that track plays, it might make it that much easier to identify.

You don't have to get fancy-schmancy about it. You could label it "guitar take 1 090203". You could put the date first too, since the Explorer in ACID organizes just like the Windows Explorer does. (Numbers are listed first, alphabet second.) Develop a system you're comfortable with.

Subject:Freeze track
Reply by: Jacose
Date:9/3/2003 9:14:40 AM

I think freeze is definetly a needed feature in ANY serious DAW app.

after using it in samplitude, i would never want to go back!!! however, the other features of ACID and Vegas stopped my renting of that program ;)

the only thing i would wonder about.. how would it ever work?

there has to be someway to freeze the tracks in acid.

in cool edit, or audition rather, you can LOCK the tracks so that no more edits can be made and somehow this saves on CPU...

in samplitude and logic, when you freeze a track, it renders it to audio (regardless of audio or midi>vsti track) and mutes everything having to do with the track, and then physically places the frozen audio on top of the old stuf, which makes it simple, fast, easy, and neat.

I am not sure how fx freeze is going to work, but it has 2 modes, freeze, which saves cpu time, and ultrafreeze, which also relieves the RAM.


how would ACID do it?

There are two areas that I would love to see developed more fully. One would be in the area of recording tracks, and the other would be in midi editing. I realize that both areas are not what acid was developed to do, and it is very good at what it does. I'm not looking for a full featured DAW, but I use the app a lot and these would give me more flexability.

Better/more functionality with the MIDI sequencer. How about being able to step record right from the piano roll view, and be able to have a miniature piano roll right in the Acid timeline along with your other tracks? THAT would be killer. Also, being able to control MIDI CC's with envelopes that you can draw in the main track window using the same envelope curves that are currently available for audio. Speaking of drawing envelopes, would it be possible to be able to draw in the "rise and fall" on the flanger/phaser/wah effect? I couldn't believe this wasn't included when 4.0 came out, but it would be great if it was included in 5.0. Thanks for listening--Acid is the absolute best, and I'm sure the SoFo/Sony team will only make it better.

Peace.

I'd like a "super-chopper". maybe where there would be various auto-chop options, like to divide into 16 parts and take top 7 in amplitude, and auto reverse the remaining - things like that. I know this is a bit vague, but I think the chopper is one of Acid's best features, and with a turbo-charge could be a feature to put Acid back on the leading edge.

turn ACID into a multiformat Soft SAmpler

(this takes acid WAY out of what its supposed to do, and could take years of getting right)

and perhaps my suggestion of effects not being enabled until object is triggered may not be able to be done...

i think backwards compatibility is sort of unreasonable, since with all these new features were asking for, how do we expect sofo to keep things that way?

just dont uninstall the previous version till youre sure! :)

Yeah I like the super chopper too. I like the idea of the chopper but never use it because it doesn’t really do anything you can’t already do on a track itself.

I always thought the chopper should have two windows. The normal one and one that you could build new loops in. So you could drag bits and pieces of loops into the new loop window, rearrange the different pieces however you want and then chop them into the project as a new track.

I’d also love a swing/shuffle aware ACID.

The MIDI editor has already improved heaps from 4.0a, I hope this trend continues.

I want to be able to import/export Vegas projects.

And I want ACID to better chase the tempo of music not recorded to a click track. (Though I think Joel will personally track me down and kill me if I ever mention this subject again!)

Ah, but UA didn't make a DX driver, they just bundled a hidden VST to DX wrapper.

Unless it is done natively in DX and not through a wrapper then there can be no assurances of proper functionality.

SONY - not Sofo - has to weigh the use of its resources based upon the needs of the larger user base. I would prefer if UA or TC provided direct access to their DSP functionality and let us just work directly at that level vs wrapping up VST internally to look like a DX plug or some bastardization of such a thing.

The whole point of a DSP hardware card is to do the DSP work. The DSP code should have NOTHING to do with the interface standard being used. I don't know how they implemented the DSP side of things at either of these companies, but if was done modularly - keep the DSP transform functionality seperate from the interface - then it should be drop dead simple for them to take our PIDK and wrap the DSP/hardware interface to provide a native DX interface.

I guess I will have to pester them both a bit to see why they are not doing native DX support.

To be continued....

im suprised, i would think that since sony is in charge they would want acid and vegas to have vst pluggins, this way you could use the famous oxford e.q. and the inflator limiter/maximizer with acid or vegas. yes ,this requires a t.c. powercore.
my other request would be for more consistent midi(sometimes it dosent play your sounds ,sometimes it does, but it is getting better.
id like the piano roll editor to scroll as the sequence plays,this is a must and no matter what you sayabout midi fitting into acid(i agree) this needs to be changed without a doubt.
id like to see more midi puggins (swing,quantizer,drum editor,apregiator)

TO SUM IT UP
1 vst pluggins (only because of uad and t.c. powercore)
2 more consistant midi (it gets better every update/release)
3 more midi pluggins (swing,quantizer,drum editor,apregiator)

acid is my main music making software, i totally get the sonyfo concept of individual programs, i use them all . acid and reason to make music,than export a stero wave of the music and record record/compile vocals. next i bring the completed vocals back into acid and mix it down. master in soundforge and wavelab (the real time analyzer in wavelab is amazing and the only reason i still use it.) finally burn cds in cd architect.

3. Reverse sample option..

Is midi development complicated? It wasn't the original intent of Acid and I've wondered about that. I've been thinking about getting something like Cakewalk Home Studio to do my editing and then using the midi files or the rendered wavs in Acid. I love Acid for what it does. I don't expect it to do everything, because what it does, it does really well.
