Subject:OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Posted by: coolout Date:11/11/2004 4:14:28 AM Just so Peter and the rest of the acid dev team can keep from pulling their hair out and i can stop trying to keep up with all these posts... Please list your problems and then your computer specs. Perhaps we can find the common problems and hopefully common solutions. I'll list mine later.

Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: coolout Date:11/11/2004 4:59:37 PM i remember when acid 4 came out there was a thread the had all the common bugs everyone was having. that way it's easy to at least determine whether it's a user specific hardware/plugin problem or a known common acid 5 bug. any takers?

Reply by: ibliss Date:11/11/2004 6:30:55 PM VST Plugin display corruption - tried adding NI Reaktor 4 FX and NI Vokator FX - part of the plugin display is chopped off, no matter how big the plugin chainer window is. Also had VST plugs crash ACID5 twice now, doing simple things like bypassing the effect and removing an effect during playback. Athlon 64+3000, 512ram, emu-1820m soundcard (EMU PowerFX work within ACID, by the way, but when you bypass it ADC isn't removed, so you get an echo effect...) Win XP SP1

Reply by: Zacchino Date:11/12/2004 12:27:51 AM Ok here's my known first bug report : -This is not a general bug, because it's specific to a .medialib that I created, and occurs only with one of my .acd file. It seems to happen only when all categories of the MM are selected. -This happens when I minimize the window docking area (double-clicking a little bit under the transport / Bpm controllers, where your get a resize/extend cursor). -I get this error message : The media library an unrecoverable error. The media library will be closed.

Reply by: Zacchino Date:11/12/2004 12:29:23 AM My second report : When loading a 4.0 Project, Acid 5 doesn't read/remember of the Waves REQ 2/4/6 dB Value (Main Gain). This issue only happens with Waves REQ assigned to VST Instruments. For tracks and busses, it's all good. It happened with my Spectrasonic Trilogy, and NI FM7 so far. -System : XP Pro SP2 P4 3.4 Ghz 512Mb of Ram Seagate 160Gb HDD M-Audio Delta 44
Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: Zacchino Date:11/12/2004 12:30:27 AM My third one : When loading a 10 to 20 tracks / 2 busses Project with Spectrasonic Trilogy (+ 1 or 2 Fx on it), Acid 5 crashes. This only happens when my Asio drivers are selected. Even with MM turned Off. It didn't crash with 4.0. Same system specs.
Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: zcus Date:11/12/2004 1:37:26 AM I still have a problem with rendering MIDI tracks to .wma 5.1 profile. All waves render fine but the MIDI track in the project renders screwy. I thought I had it fixed but it was an overlook on my part in this thread: http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/forums/ShowMessage.asp?MessageID=330747&Replies=5&Page=0
Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: aviens Date:11/12/2004 5:56:25 PM If I adjust the loop playback bar in a song to a forward point in the song while it is playing, as soon as I "drop" the bar, the play marker jumps to the beginning of the loop playback. This is different behavior than Acid 4, where I was able to adjust the loop playback bar in the forward parts of a song and it would continue playing normally until it reached the playback loop bar on its own. - Andre

Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: coolout Date:11/13/2004 4:07:19 AM okay here's mine: 1. i too was getting hangs and crashes using uad-1 DX plugs, but i now just use the VST versions. 2. how about when i have a crash and reopen, acid reverts back to the default configuration (the one when i very first installed it). it's bad enough to have a crash but then i have to reset my audio driver settings, my vsti folder, record paths, views and the whole 9 yards...very frustrating. 3. of course some vst plugs just make acid just hang forever while scanning. it would be nice if there was a vst test utility like other sequencers have. that way you have already determined which plugs work and don't in acid and the bad ones are already disabled at launch. these are the only ones from me for now...i'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Subject:RE: OFFICIAL ACID 5 BUG THREAD... Reply by: jumbuk Date:11/14/2004 3:33:18 PM Adding this to the Bug thread for completness: In the Acid 5.0 track edit window, the RH side has special (non-standard WinXP) scroll bars, with "magnifying glass" icons to zoom in and out of the track view. The problem: every now and then, the horizontal scroll bar will be replaced by a black bar. The icons may well still be there, but they are invisible because the whole bar is black. The vertical scroll bar doesn't go black, but the icons are converted to "+" and "-" symbols. The condition persists after a close and restart of the application. There is a way to fix the problem: switch to the desktop, open the desktop display properties dialog, and change the desktop colour (to any other colour). As soon as you "Apply" the change, the Acid pro 5.0 GUI is fixed ... until next time. I don't know if this is relevant: when I installed Acid Pro 5.0, my desktop colour was black. Also, this problem does not occur with Acid Pro 4.0 or 3.0.
