Problem opening new Acid project -ACID Product Family

Subject:Problem opening new Acid project Posted by: skerkro Date:8/7/2005 2:10:58 PM I'm having problems opening up my newest Acid project. It gets to 11% and then stays there. The elapsed time just keeps going and going. Is there a way to fix this? All of my other Acid projects open fine. I haven't changed anything in my computer, so there is no reason that this should be happening. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Subject:RE: Problem opening new Acid project Reply by: SHTUNOT Date:8/7/2005 4:13:03 PM You system specs are still missing. You are hitting a proformance ceiling with having all your work on one drive. NOT ideal in any situation. You need 2 HD drives...My recommendation is Western Digital Raptor drives. 10K sata 8mb buffer. One just for audio apps and the other for audio storage... On my system in options>>pref>>folders>>All my audio tasks like record/render to new...even temp folder is in a acid project folder on the audio drive. Even better is to add a external firewire drive to your setup. Keep ALL your loops and VSTI samples/sounds on that. Your large one shot waves I keep internally. All my Bfd/reason stuff is on my external. HTH. Ed.
