Can anyone give me an idea why one of my midi tracks going to my kompact would just stop playing? It's a drum track and I have other drum tracks going to the same kompakt but this one just stoped producing any sound! When I open compact, i can see the notes on the piano moving like they should be playing something, but there is no sound? What gives?

Why is it that half the time when I click on midi clip properties it opens up the dialogue box and it's totally white or grey showing NO information whatsoever???

I have similar ghosts. I seem to be fine for awhile and then the midi just stops. Using the "reset midi ports" works the first time, then a few seconds later the same problem and no midi no matter what. I usually have to shut down Acid, start up another application like LIVE or GURU, then close them and reopen Acid to do a reset. This is better than a complete system reboot.... which also works.

As far as the half time, I get the same thing. Just figured it was going to get fixed. I stopped filling out trouble tickets because I usually get a lame response blaming me or my machine. I guess they are overloaded with work.

Not sure I understand the dialog box being opened with no info. Do you mean the piano role shows not midi notes?

I concur... there are strange happenings going on. But it seems to come and go. It seems that some kind of event occurs that gets things confused. It is associated with recording and undoing recording I think. Your not alone on this.

Ya...well there's some really nutty stuff going on with the midi...it's totally blowing me away....I admite, some of it is me. But not all. Is there some kind of limitation on how many kompakt tracks I can use? Can when I insert a second one, it won't record...it's just so fussy....
here are some other things
everytime i hit stop, it makes my mouse disappear from the arrange window and appear in the left hand corner on the start button...every frigin time....

not saving my key commands, even when I recall a set I made, they're not being recalled, and not being set

my midi and sound card settings get changed when acid crashes.
I reload and I have to reconfigure acid to specify which sound card I'm using, which outs I have set up ect...man, this is so labour intensive...but hey, I'm getting closer, after all my dream has always been to have all these posibilities within acid and now I've got it, I just need it to work!

the soft synth thing is so annoying...I just bought $1500 bucks worth of vst synths...komplete package....and I hope i can use them more than the kompact I have now......when I want to use my second kompact I've got loaded on, I have to double click the compact buss track to get sound coming out even if I'm hilighting the track I want to use....

So now I can hear my synth, so I record (although I have to click on the buss track to get any sound, highlighting the track I want to use isn't enough) but the for the life of my I can't get it to play back!!! I was having this problem with drum tracks earlier today and I got it to work by duplicating a drum track that did work, and the copy and past my tracks onto the new track....so I tried that with my organ track but no luck, it simply won't play back.

Another strange MIDI thing: I am in play mode, when I draw additional clips of MIDI, Acid crashed with an error signature: Acid60.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.... Just more evidence some work is needed. I assume we will be asked by someone if more details are wanted.

Yes.....more work is needed. In the mean time, anyone want to buy a slightly used cope of acid 6.0??
Going to buy sonar....one evening with the demo has convinced me that acid isn't worth it, besides, I can slave acid to sonar using rewire if I want to use acid loops, and I think sonar even plays acid loops....
So it's adios for me for now....I'll check back in after the update.
Cheers everyone.

I think there is definetely some unpredictable bug in the MIDI recording/playback.

As I noted on some other posts, at least half a dozen times now I have recorded a MIDI clip and then it won't play back. I can see the MIDI notes in the clip and other clips on the track play back fine. My solution is to wiggle the start of the first note in the clip and then suddenly it will be fixed. Very strange.

Cheers,

Randy

"wiggle the start of the first note in the clip "

Now this is the tip I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
