Subject:ACID Pro 6.0 Quantize bugs Posted by: barleycorn Date:4/19/2006 1:43:45 PM First half hour with ACID Pro 6.0. Bugs: 1. The Piano Roll and List Editor Quantize function doesn't work correctly if a clip has a time signature with a denominator other than 4: if the denominator is 1 or 2 then the notes are quantized too much; if it is 8 or above the function doesn't seem to work at all. 2. Also, the Quantize button is greyed out after use even though the selection persists. Another selection has to be made before the quantization can be changed. 3. Mouse wheel zooming and shortuts like Ctrl+A for Select All don't work in the Piano Roll Editor until one clicks somewhere in the window. Other observations: The Piano Roll would be improved if the lines of major beats were always differentiated from minor divisions, whatever the Enable Snapping setting. Generally, keyboard shortcuts for quantization are necessary. It would be helpful if the tempo could reflect the time signature: if the tempo is 120 bpm and the time signature is 4/4, the tempo should become 60 bpm if the time signature is changed to 2/2. It would be useful to be able to scroll indefinitely to the right (without having to insert an event). This also applies to the Piano Roll. Have I missed a simple way to do this? The initial focus in the Custom Time Signature dialog (the OK button) is not particularly helpful.

Yes - I've thought this too. Having to carefully scan vertically to check which line's which should be unnecessary.
