Who can explain this one? In the past week or so, my copy of Acid has become unable to correctly render wav files. I can take a complex project with tons of plug-ins and synths and render straight to mp3 and it sounds fine. I try to do the same thing but render as a wav, and I get intermittent digital clicks no matter what I try. What gives? It's less math to do a wav file, why is my computer suddenly unable to do these now? I can't even bounce down tracks, because all the wav's sound like crap. Hints: I can still edit wav's in Sound Forge with no problems. New wav's play back bad in every application I try, but old wav's still sound fine. I recently added 1 GB of RAM to my system (1.5 Gb total). I recently installed a new dual-head video card, it's an N-Vidia GeForce 6600 PCI-Express card. I'm running Acid Pro 5.0b (don't see the point of the C upgrade). Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!! |

Did this start happening after you installed the RAM and video card? If anything, try completely uninstalling/reinstalling ACID. Does Sound Forge also not render WAVs properly? Iacobus ------- RodelWorks - Original Music for the Unafraid Buy Instant ACID by JohnnyRoy and mD! mD at ACIDplanet |

Yeah, cheers Iacobus, guess I'm gonna have to re-install and hope for the best. It did start after the video card and RAM upgrades, I'm hoping they're not incompatible somehow. Wav's are rendered fine in Sound Forge, and everything else but wav's seems to render fine in Acid Pro. Damn, I hate computers! |

Arggh,,, I am so frickin' frustrated, what the heck can be making my computer do this? I just completely uninstalled and reinstalled, I have the latest drivers, I defragged the bejesus out of everything, and I can render mp3's no problem. Why would I not be able to render wav files? Sony, I know you hate me, but please help! |

Oh, crikey, why did I install the C update? Now I'm intermittently getting messages saying "An Error Occurred while creating the media file. The request is not enabled for this device" when I try to render in various formats. What the heck is going on? |

Have you tried different templates for the wave file when rendering? Is it possible you're rendering at 48,000Hz and that it's causing a problem? Is your soundcard "locked" at 44,100Hz? Just shooting from the hip here... really. Hope you get it solved. Mario |

Cheers Mario, any ideas are welcome, I'm definitely rendering at 44,100 same as I always have, it seems installing the new build has just made matters worse though, now i seem to need to render in wma format before it will let me render in any other format. Until I do, I keep getting the error message I mentioned above. ........ ok, that seems to have sorted itself out, and I've actually gotten a few projects to render with much less distortion, if any (hard to say, I like my tracks grimy to begin with ; ) This is really bizarre. I render some projects as wav and I can't hear any distortion, but on others it's pretty blatant even though the mp3 of the same sounds fine. |

Me again, I've taken out the video card, reinstalled Acid and all my drivers, done system scans galore, defragged, rearranged my cards, and still having the same problems. what the heck could make an mp3 render fine but a wav come out crappy? |

Illogical, Why don't we start with the basics here...what kind of motherboard, chip and audio interface are you running. What video card did you have in here before slapping in the 6600? Update when you can. VP |

Illlogical said: "All the gurus must be busy building me an Acid Pro 6." I don't know what you're talking about. <.< >.> <.< Seriously, it's odd that it's only doing it in ACID. Was it brand-name RAM that you installed? When you reinstalled ACID, did you do a complete uninstall and then install using only the update?

That's the one, I took everything off (my glorious plug-in manager work ruined) and put back on 5.0c. It seems like it's just happening now with certain projects, must be a plug-in thing, but it's bizarro. Sorry, guy above mD, I don't know jack about my motherboard, I got a p4 w/HT 3.2 and an echo mia midi card, that ram probably is kinda ghette but it seems to show up fine and I ran diagnostics of some sort on it and it said there was problems. Is there gonna be in-track MIDI editing in Acid Pro 6? Why is sony so secretive about this stuff? What is the gain? |

If the RAM is screwy, it could be that ACID's processing is exploiting its weakness. I've had generic RAM that was horrible; would give me errors from time to time. Madison Media has to be secretive about that kind of thing (if it even exists) probably because they don't want their competitors to know what they're doing. Iacobus |
