Subject:Will MP3 EVER be supported with ACID or not?
Posted by: DrJOnes666

Every decent audio software now supports MP3. Even Adobe
PREMIERE finally decided to support MP3 (at last) in the
upcoming PREMIERE 6.0 . What will it take for ACID to
support this as well???

Many people publish royalty free loops at mp3.com . Also,
when we create loops, it takes so much space, that
converting them to MP3 is the logical choice, especially at
high bit rates where the quality is so close to CD quality
that we wouldn't see much of a difference in the final
product anyway.

Maybe this question has been answered already... But I've
been coming around since last February, and since then,
nothing has been done yet towards MP3 with ACID.

WILL we, or WONT we see this feature anytime in the near
future?

Thank you,

Martin

I don't know really what to say, Martin, other than I have absolutely
no problems whatsover saving an ACID project as an MP3. (I'm using
ACID Pro 2.0d.)

Have you tried patching to the lastest version?

HTH,
Iacobus

I also have no problems saving my projects as MP3s. You should check
to see if you are running the latest version of ACID -ACID PRO 2.0-

... but not for ACID Express. You have to have a genre edition at the
very least and be sure to install the mp3 plugin. It should be on the
CD with the application software and will require the proper
registration number you get when you register the software with SF.
If you don't activate your plugin, it will expire after a pre-
determined number of encodes.

While .mp3 rocks the world today, .ogg (the Ogg-Vorbis format) will
be the wave of the future because the codecs will be as good or
better than mp3 and it is designed with internet streaming in mind.
In addition, it is open source and will always be free of
licensing... mark my words. SF's Siren Jukebox already supports the
format, others are sure to follow...

Subject:Hoping for the triumph of the superior file format

I hope so. A truly superior format with fewer restrictions is always
better, but sometimes the lack of an uptight (but funded) coporate
parent seems to leave a file format lingering in the growth stages
forever. For example, in web graphics, PNG is a much better format
than either GIF or JPG, supports the features of both, and is usually
about the same size. But since neither Microsoft or Netscape had a
relationship or involvement in its creation, its lingered as a great
might've been, with only half-baked support in IE and Netscape.
