Is ACID 5 ReWired to another host?

Does the ACID 4 project have references to ReWire devices - i.e. Reason, Live, P5, etc.

well, no, i never used rewire with acid prior to trying v5.0

i now have this problem whilst opening ANY project.

if it's any help, today i installed a beta version of Reason 3.o on my machine. although i have now uninstalled it, prehaps this is the source of my woes..

whichever way i cut it, i am now unable to use Acid 5 at all....

oh well... i used up all my goes i think... am i right in thinking that i will not be able to re-install the Acid trial?

cheers

This could very well be the cause. We have not tested with the Reason 3.0 beta.

If you install a fresh copy of Windows, yes.

Hi marII,

Are you reformatting your machine to get rid of this error, or are you doing so for a completely unrelated reason (er... no pun intended)? I'm just wondering since I had a similar error for awhile with Acid 4.0, and I made it go away by uninstalling Acid, reinstalling it, and then pointing Acid to only a couple of VSTi's (I think I had a rogue one among my many VSTi's that was giving me problems before). In any case, it sounds like the Reason beta is messing up Acid 5.0 for you, so if you haven't yet, why not just uninstall Reason first, see how Acid works, and if it still gives you errors, then uninstall and reinstall it? It seems awfully drastic to reformat your machine before trying these other steps.

Good luck!
Kered

yes, i know.. i guess i am just loosing patience and that is always my response in these situations: nuke the feckin' thing! either it goes or my sanity does [?}
I have uninstalled the stupid beta version of Reason 3 and I have attemtpted to re-install Acid 5.
Now, I haven't had the alert again, but I cannot hear any sound coming out of the project at all! [even though i can still preview in the explorer and in the chopper]...
Argh... lord, take me now!1
guess i shall come back tomorrow with a fresh head...
more later i suppose .. .. ...

Just for the record, here is the full gobbledy-gook of the error:

The obvious thing to check would be all your settings since they'd get reset to their defaults after reinstalling Acid. Hopefully you've already done that, but I've certainly had head-slapper moments like that where I overlook the obvious answer.

Hope that helps!

I guess it goes without saying, “Never install beta software on a production PC”. What I would do is look for a Windows Restore Point just before the first installation of the Reason 3.0 beta. This should put everything back the way it was. I always forget about this myself and start uninstalling stuff and it usually makes matters worse. System Restore is your friend. Use it. ;-)

If you are running XP, you may wan to use the "System Restore" tool. Take if back to the point before you installed Reason 3.0 beta or even sooner.
