1sec. Latency before Auto Preview in Explorer -ACID Product Family

Subject:1sec. Latency before Auto Preview in Explorer Posted by: Zacchino Date:12/14/2003 3:36:21 PM Issue or Known Bug ? When i select a file in the Explorer Bar, .wav or .aif, even if its size is only 200 Kb, it's taking 1 sec before it gets played... Weird... Same thing but a bit faster with Sound Forge. Whereas in Cool Edit Pro (Adobe Audition) for example, it previews instantly... My Config : Acid Pro 4.0f P4 2,0 Ghz 1024Mb of Ram M-Audio Delta 44 (@ 512 Samples, Asio Drivers used in Acid) Tweaked PC (www.musicxp.net's tweak : PC Standard, etc...) Any Ideas ?

(Or it may be just trying to read any ACIDized info embedded in the sample; if there isn't any, ACID makes an educated guess.)

Browsing long sample lists is a pain in the a** if i loose 1 sec each time i clic on a sample in the explorer window :(

This even works while you are playing your project from the ACID 4 timeline. Might improve your workflow.
Subject:RE: 1sec. Latency before Auto Preview in Explorer Reply by: Zacchino Date:12/18/2003 12:37:41 PM TSW, I knew that trick but it takes as much time when i do a multiple-selection. 1 sec btw all sample... This is a minor subjective issue but... if you have a trick in regedit... The idea is that when i'm playing my song, i have a huge snare sample library. Snares are always a matter of "feeling" when you're making a track. So i'd like to clic it as i'd push a mpc2000 button and i hear "Kshhh" right away. I know that you'll suggest me to use a VST to reproduce that trick (N.I. Battery, i know). But as i suggested before, one of the improvement of Acid would be to quicken-up this looong process of searching and matching. Fadengo

TSW,

I knew that trick but it takes as much time when i do a multiple-selection. 1 sec btw all sample... This is a minor subjective issue but... if you have a trick in regedit...

The idea is that when i'm playing my song, i have a huge snare sample library. Snares are always a matter of "feeling" when you're making a track. So i'd like to clic it as i'd push a mpc2000 button and i hear "Kshhh" right away. I know that you'll suggest me to use a VST to reproduce that trick (N.I. Battery, i know).
