ACID Music Studio 7.0 changes -ACID Product Family

Subject:ACID Music Studio 7.0 changes Posted by: lofftjm Date:11/15/2007 4:07:58 PM I'm just downloaded the demo of Music Studio 7.0 to see if I want to upgrade from version 6. I've found two things that I am finding it hard to work with. The first is Midi clips. The documentation does not explain these at all. If I create a new midi track to be used for drums and then enable the inline midi editing option to create a drum beat, each midi note that I paste into the piano roll create it's own midi clip. If I record a midi track using a midi controller, all of the indivudial hits get placed into 1 midi clip. This is how I feel it should work. What is the purpose of having multiple midi cips per track? The second change is that I cannot figure out how to change the velocity of midi hits with the mouse. There used to be a litle velocity "graph" that you could use the paintbrush to change all the velocitys at once. Now the only way to do it seems to be to bring up the list editor and chage the velocity of each hit one at a time. Any advice?

Regarding the manual, is there an online version? I purchased version 6.0 and Iam now demoing the versin 7.0 trial before I upgrade. If I purchase the upgrade does it come with a printed manual like version 6 did?

It is far easier to associate and change them. They are directly related to the note. It works MUCH better., If you perfer the old way, ACID 6 Pro includes the old Piano Roll editor. The pdf manual should be available in our download section. I don't believe we ship with a full printed manual, but with the Getting started manual.

View | Show Inline MIDI Editing | Note-on Velocities
