To Acid Pro users:

What sound card do you use, and what issues do you have
with it and its drivers for win95 or winNT?

I'm currently using a Creative Labs ISA AWE64. When
recording in Acid, it has sync problems with no solution in
sight. I'm interested to know what experiences you folks
have with using better audio cards like the Gina, Wave4, or
CardD+ with Acid Pro before giving up any more cash.

Thanks

I use ACID Pro with a Gina and a regular Sounblaster Compatible and I
can access all outputs on both cards simultaneously with great sync.
And I use an out of date GINA driver (ver. 3.05).

What about _input_ to your Soundblaster compatible - when
you record a track on it, does that new track match up with
the other tracks or is it a bit offset (later) from the
other tracks?
My AWE64 always exhibits this behavior unless I first go to
the options menu and check-then-uncheck one of the sync
paramters. Seems like something needs to reset in the
driver before every attempt to record. As far as I can
tell I've got the latest drivers.
Pre-recorded .wav files that are played back on the AWE64
have no problems - this is just related to recording.

I use two soundcards. A Yamaha DSP factory card and a Soundblaster
PCI 128 card. It sounds ironic but I usually wind up using the
soundblaster card because of ease of use and it really doesn't sound
bad (because I use a hignend mic pre-amp). ACID really doesn't
support the DSP Factory properly and so I probably won't keep the
card. It would probably be fine with Cubase VST or Logic Audio or the
like, but I want ACID. I use it for doing loop music and normal
Multitrack recording. The event cards are probably fine (you users
let him know what you are getting). I like the look of the new card
from DigitalAudio Labs. Its called the Cardeluxe. Its got all the new
specs like 24bit\96k and stuff like that. If you want lots of ins or
outs maybe the Wave\824 from Gadget Labs. Anyway I don't recommend
the DSP Factory for use with ACID. Ive got an $800 card I don't even
use. Darn
