#1. thanks to gayle, nate, and doug for really trying hard. but i'm still dying. and i have tried everything...... way too much to list here ok.......here is the problem in a sentence the audio is drifting away from the midi clock, AND away from timing in general. initially it was obvious in the first 30 sec. now, after all the trouble shooting w/ tech support, i extended it to maybe 7 min. which means if i want to do A song, great. or if i want to use acid EXCLUSIVELY great. but syncing other deviced up w/ it for a rave.. forget about it i'm very depressed. heres my set up 350 PII, 64 megs of ram, uw scsi hd (even though it doesn't matter since its loaded into ram anyway) the ABSOLUTE LATEST drivers for my digital audio card GINA, and THE ABSOLUTE LATEST CARDS FOR MY mpu401 midi card C-MEDIA. i have tried EVERY possible combination of settings under preferences........ AND I TESTED THE AUDIO OUT TO A METRONOME......it still drifts after 5-10 min. (depending on the number of tracks) so, i think i'm looking at getting a midi clock generater.......motu perhaps? my question is this.......why when i spoke to both nate and gayle, did they both said that there had been NO testing as far as slaving external midi devices to acid? if this is true.......why not? do you know how f---ing awesome it would be to have ACID AND MY 303 working together? NOTE........I'VE ALSO TRIED ACID 2.O ON SEVERAL OTHER SYSTEMS.......THEY ALL LAG!! the only variant is over HOW MUCH TIME! again this is NOT a problem if you use ACID EXCLUSIVELY. ok...........so please.........someone........anyone help. please god.......DONT MAKE ME HAVE TO GO BACK TO CAKEWALK.......I SWEAR, PEOPLE WILL DIE!!! |

ACID can NOT sync to MTC properly. Period. They haven't fixed it in V2.0 either. I'm waiting now for more than a year. Am I pissed off by that? Yeah, the hell I am!

Hi Jeremy Last night I completed a 4 minute drum tarck produced wiall with Acid loops (w/Acid Pro 2.0) and synched it up to my VS1680 recorder. I set sync tempo on the 1680 to match the acid tempo so the bars would match throughout the song on the 1680. Pressed record and voila, a perfectly in-synch drum track. I'm using MTC for code and Acid as the master. Any chance you can try using MTC.
