Subject:Tech support and where are the loops?
Posted by: spaceto

Just bought ACID 2.0 build 60 and registered.
The product info says the program comes with
"hundreds of loops". There is a disc in the box
labeled "loops", but it's blank.

Tech support has not been answering at(608)256 5555.

Does anyone know if ACID 2.0 in fact does come with loops?
If so where are they? thanks

Hi,

I had the same problem. Apparently build 60 included some loop diskc
that were blank.I returned the offensive disks to my retailer and
demanded an exchange for a new set and got some from build 71 that
worked just fine.

The only beef I have is that I think the registration system is a
pain in the ---!!

Good luck, Jeff Stewart

Thanks Jeff -

Problem is, we bought Music 2.0 by direct mail from SF. So with tech
support not answering, it's hard to get an exchange!

I think that the registration system is something that should be made
clear up-front - before you buy the product.

I have big reservations about employing a system that identifies my
machine every time I log onto the SF site - that's what the computer
ID + cookie does. There has been a good deal of discussion about all
of this unique computer ID on other forums. In general, most people
believe that it's not appropriate. While no one should or can condone
illegal copying of a program, I guess I wonder if SF is more
likely to be pirated than say WordPerfect or games? Most do not
require this kind of invasion of privacy to protect against piracy.

Hey! I got through to tech suport this am and they agree that there
was a problem with the loop discs. They are sending me another.
So now I guess I'll just play with the demo :-(

Does anyone know of lops discs that have a classical music bent? I
guess new age would be OK too. I am looking for loops that convey a
sense of water - for U/W videos. Thanks

Hey Spaceto,

The new featured artist series may have some new age stuff...I am
going to order "Robin Storey" and "Marc Anderson" as soon as I can
afford to... If you find any other loops along this vein let me
know.....Peace, Jeff
