Subject:Given up on 5.0. Help with Loop Edits, Please. Posted by: dank Date:3/10/2005 5:28:55 AM I use Tascam's FW-1884 as my control surface for Sonar 3.1.1. I am a guitarist foremost, and I use Acid Pro 4.0f mainly for my drum tracks. I downloaded the trial version of Acid 5.0 after hearing that I could run Acid as a slave to Sonar. What a great idea: record my loops in Acid (so easy to do) and record my live audio tracks in Sonar-what could be better? After repeated attempts to rewire Acid Pro 5.0 into Sonar and the resulting freeze up and crashes, I resigned myself to editing acidized loops in Sonar. I want to use the FW-118's controls to make precise edits. How? For example, I will load a drum loop (verse) into Track #1 and drag it for three measures. I will then load a loop into Track #2, this time a fill, to begin at Measure 4. Of course, given the nature of the rhythm, the fill may need to start a beat before the beginning of Measure 4. How do I align the loops, using the FW-1884's controls, in the easiest manner possible? In addition, how do I split a loop using the FW-1884's controls? For those who can help, thank you very much for your time. Dan.

I'm pretty sure others run ACID Pro 5 just fine as a ReWire slave in SONAR. Doesn't the standard procedure for ReWire consist of starting the host first, the slave second and then ReWiring them together?
