MIDI Track Properties - is this 'normal'? -ACID Product Family

Subject:MIDI Track Properties - is this 'normal'? Posted by: B.C. Date:3/23/2005 9:36:03 AM When I have a MIDI clip open in track properties and the project is playing. The progress bar (in track properites) doesn't follow the project playback position. Is this normal? If so, man - that sucks.

This holds true for both MIDI and digital audio. Why do you want the playback in the track properties to mirror playback in the project?

Date:3/23/2005 11:31:12 AM oh, I don't know - so the piano-roll editor behaves exactly the same as every other piano roll editor I've ever used? I want to see the playback bar in the piano-roll editor. In typing this though, I think I realize my mistake. I've been using the track-properties pane for MIDI editing as opposed to right-click track-properties. Or are they the same thing?

I too am trying to edit midi track while rest of song is previewing/playing back. I seem to only be able to do 1 or the other, but not both. this is soooo irritating. no other daw works this way. Project5 follows, Nuendo follows, but NOT Acid. ....is it me? Thanks to anyone who knows how to configure acid to work "normally" or some kind of work-around so I dont have to edit just by ear while pretending to see the progress bar, so I know what notes to edit. thanks Peace Rahman "the Bassman"

Any changes you make will automatically be applied during playback. If you need to concentrate on a specific area, use the Loop Region and turn loop playback on (Q is the shortcut).

Is this normal?

If so, man - that sucks.
