Do you guys plan multitrack abilities for your next Acid release ? Please answer at least this question. And then we'll know AT LEAST what we're waiting for ;-) Isaac |

This is not a matter of feature but a matter of choice (it's not a "what's new" question but a "what are we waiting for" one). |

We don't discuss these things or state what we will or wont do in a next version. We never have and never will pre-announce such things. Why? Because if something changes, then we get more flack for what we said we would do, but don't do. How would you react if I told you that ACID would have complete multitracking or be a ReWire device, but then when it was released, these features weren't there? I can just hear the threats of law suits and how ACID is not a professional tool, etc, etc, etc. Peter |

When will everyone learn to live in peace ? What is the meaning of life ? Why is there so much pain and sadness in the world ? Will there ever be an end to evil ? Why do they make black jellybeans ? I want answers NOW ! |

Why do the wicked prosper? ( it's an old testament question) I remember the discussions about rewire and then there was rewire. I think they listen, but I don't see how they can do everything we ask for. Maybe we could start another request thread. Would that help? |

"can you give us a General date then of hen you think Acid 5.0 will be released , Peter? Its seems to be ages since 4.0, and to be honest a lot of things are catching up and taking over... Any dates roughly??????" Buckaroo, What part of "We never have and never will pre-announce such things" did you not understand? This is the question that would probably cause them in the most trouble...if they casually mention a "General Date" and then miss that date...you and everyone else will rain S*** on these guys for weeks on end becuase the "general date" was missed. Hey - ya bought 4.0. So use 4.0...or don't. Totally your call. Cuzin B |

Maybe we should organize a Senate Commitee to interegate these poor guys!!!! Come on people are we such a microwave society that we can't be a little more patient?! I for one have complete confidence that this R&D team is putting together a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade to an already great piece of software! Sure it lacks some stuff, but in order to add all of the crap that we ALL have asked for AND to do it right will take some time! I for one will continue to happily work around some of Acids limitations in the hope of the next release simply KICKING ASS on the competition. And if it doesn't, then I guess I'll just have to bow out in complete humiliation!!!!!! Luces |

Professional ? Acid is professional. When you make money from using a tool like this one, you're being professional, as is the tool. It's not a matter of tool but what you do with it. |

i wish sony will make acid 5 a streamlines but powerful software. like it was intended in the 1st place. i hate this vsti and midi crap. it just doesnt go well and sounds right with this program. make v5 the dominate loop, chopping, etc program out there. also rewire slave! rewire slave!! |

Rewire slave, is one feature I would like to see in A5. Imagine being able to run ACID inside your favorite host sequencer, whether it be, SONAR, Project 5, Live or even better in Vegas ( assuming that V5 will have at least Rewire Host capabilities). I think SONY would sell a lot of copies of ACID if indeed it would have have Rewire slave capabilities. There is a little poll going on @ KVR: "Will you be buy/upgrade to ACID Pro 5?" It seems a lot of users (the most prominent request) would buy/upgrade to A5 for Rewire Slave alone. After nearly two years since the last major update, It would be a real letdown if ACID 5 still cannot be used inside other host Rewire apps. http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=39310 Billy Buck |

Why bother waiting anyway? I waited ages for 4.0 to come out and it was a big dissapointment. Time to move on to something better equipped if you are no longer satisfied. I have and it rocks! Peter (Stone < not the sony guy >) http://soundsichiban.com |

Humm! Nobody hasen't patience?!, nobody can wait?! ahh!!? What happen.. We know very well, that every new version of any software comes every 12 or 14 months, and when the new versions comes... it comes with all and or with new good features. I know and dream (he he) that soon will come the next new versions: Acid Pro 5.0 Vegas 5.0 DVD Architect 2.0 and may be or perhaps (I don't know when): CD Architect 6.0 (Because, this new version culd have tolls for edit Data CDs and Audio CDs) Bacth Coverter 6.0 (Because, for these days there are many variety formats) So... Take easy, we must to have patience, no pressure, please!! Thanks |

> We never have and never will pre-announce such things... if something changes, then we get more flack for what we said we would do, but don't do Of course lots of companies do manage to announce developments in advance. If you were arguing there could be a potential loss of competitive advantage I'd understand more but suggesting that you can't commit yourselves to particular features because you haven't yet decided what to include (obviously I'm not talking about the nitty-gritty of implementations) seems rather alarming. I sometimes wonder whether it might not have helped over the years to have had to declare forthcoming developments quite a while in advance. Sound Forge in particular seems to have lost its way (after version 4.5) and the releases have felt like hasty assemblages. |

See, you can spin it how ever you want. This is why we don't even like talking about such things. I wont debate what others do or don't. This is our company policy. Peter |

I want new innovative tools. Chopper is awsome, I use it all the time. We need more things like this. One idea I had was an audio arpregiator like the analogx one but with a better interface. |

I have recently put together a system using P4 2.8 processor. When I open ADID 4 screen blast I am experiencing a degree of static noise. The sound meters are running up and down showing this noise. Any idea of what causes the noise and how can I get it cleaned? Thanks |

The meter shows right chanal 57 and left 41. I even disconected all the wires to the computer without any interface with the mixer but the noise is still there. I am just using the wave recording at this time, eventhough after recording you can not hear the noise but i know its there. I even disconected the cooling fans for the motherboard. |

-57 and - 41 dB. Unlikely you will hear it. This is the noise floor of your sound card. Not much you can do other than to get a better sound card. You could try to electically isolate the D/A converters, but it is unlikely you will get much improvement. Peter |

> The meter shows right chanal 57 and left 41 That’s better than my laptop. On my laptop, the noise floor is -33dB! I obviously only use my desktop, which as an Audigy 2 card for recording. I think this is just inherent with build-in sound on the motherboard. I would get a good sound card if you’re serious about recording but -57dB is not that bad at all. ~jr |
