Subject:Midi Trouble Posted by: knowbody Date:5/28/2004 7:06:29 PM I haven't used Acid for a while. The last project I worked on I was able to use Midi without any problem. Now Midi is up the spout. I am ready to record. When I hit a note on the midi keyboard I can see the sound register on the volume monitor of the record panel. But when I actually press record and play the monitor shows no sound and when I finish the recording no midi track is created. I've also discovered that if I bring in an old midi track and try to preview it the position marker does not move and I get no sound. If I paint the midi track into a project and play - I get no sound. Midi is effectively dead. What has gone wrong and how can I put it right? Windows XP Pro SP1 Acid Version 4.0f. I also have Sound Forge 7.0 could that have anything to do with it? Thanks, Chris (Hunt)
Subject:RE: Midi Trouble Reply by: Iacobus Date:5/29/2004 5:23:36 PM Make sure Sound Forge isn't using your MIDI ports while using ACID Pro. Ensure that real time MIDI is enabled by using ALT+F7 on your keyboard. If that doesn't work, try completely uninstalling ACID and then reinstall. Something might have gotten corrupted.

Subject:RE: Midi Trouble Reply by: forlornsoul Date:5/30/2004 4:43:22 AM Did you check your Record device and MIDI thru options at the bottom of the record window/ I recently added a MIDISport 2x2 and have to select them for MIDI recording. Not sure why playback is not working. Check your sound card properties/audio properties and make sure you have the right device selected for MIDI. Hopefully this will get you going again. Mike

I checked the points you both mentioned and nothing seemed a miss. I'm going again which is good. Perplexed, Chris
