Backwards and cross compatibiltiy -ACID Product Family

Subject:Backwards and cross compatibiltiy Posted by: RedStone Date:6/8/2007 9:20:30 AM I have a project that my students did in Acid Pro 6, but they need to port it over to Acid Music studio 6. Is this possible? we saved it as an acid-zip file and studio 6 said that it couldn't open it. we just need the structure of the project to stay in tact (edits/crossfades - the basic layout of each track) Message last edited on6/8/2007 9:23:55 AM byRedStone.
Subject:RE: Backwards and cross compatibiltiy Reply by: pwppch Date:6/8/2007 9:32:55 AM No, ACID Pro 6 Projects are not compatible with ACID Music Studio 6 projects. ACID Music Studio 6 is based on ACID Pro 5, so the data structures are completely different as ACID 6 introduced many new features that are not backward compatible. Sorry. Peter
Subject:RE: Backwards and cross compatibiltiy Reply by: RedStone Date:6/8/2007 10:32:12 AM thanks for the response, Peter. It's really too bad. it would be ultra cool to have the entire line of Acid products be able to talk to each other - even in the most basic form (EDL??) - I would die and go to heaven if Acid supported EDL or txt like Vegas. I know that is a big draw for home studios to use Pro Tools M-powered since they can take their mixes to a local studio that has LE or HD and open up their stuff. It's like word processors that let you save your files to older/ or even universal or different document versions. It's necessary these days: Even if it means losing the information from new features - "something" is always better than nothing at all, since having at least something will save precious time and energy. anyway ...
