SO YOU THINK RECORDING AUDIO IN ACID IS THE SAME AS CUBASE?
ONLY BECAUSE I HEARD SOME PEOPLE SAY THE QUALITY IS NOT AS
GOOD WHEN RECORDING IN ACID.

Hi Mario,

Well, there _may_ be a slight difference because the latest
version of Cubase processes all audio data internally at 32-
bits. But the thing that is going to affect the quality of
your audio the most is your sound card.

Best,
Scott

Sounds like you memory (ram) is crashing. Does any other
programs cause the problem? Have you loaded any new
utilities lately?

The only utility I have installed is Norton Utilites 2000.
Note: I *do not* have anything running in the background
while ACID Pro is running. Only Explorer and Systray are
running other than ACID.

I had thought maybe it was my RAM too. I did a RAM check
via NU, but it could not find any errors in the RAM.

Things seem to have subsided a little for some reason,
though the one project still crashes.

I would suggest that you contact tech support to get to the
root of the problem. Is there something that you can do
which will reproduce the problem consistently?

Are you getting any meter movement while you are
recording? (keep in mind that the machine noise of your
computer will consistently move the meters)- try recording
something loud. If you don't have significant meter
movement perhaps the port you are recording from somehow
got muted.

Dear John:


If you wanted to record your mix I would suggest that you
simply go to file/save as and for the save as type select
mixed .wav file. This will mix all of your tracks down to
either a stereo or mono .wav file depending on what you
select.

May want to check to see if you have any memory resident
programs (antivirus, etc.) that is using too much RAM
