Alright, lets start with this...i have a few problems when i record guitar, vocals, bass, or drums:

1- Tempo gets sped up or slowed down than i originly recorded it at.

2- When trying to another track to play along with the first track, it gets slowed up or sped down so they dont match up.

these are getting rather annoying so if anyone has any idea how to fix it please help me out. Beatmapped to One-shot doesnt help either.

Please fill out your system specs in your user profile.

What audio hardware are you using?

What driver model in ACID are you using? ASIO? Mapper? Wave Classic?

Hi All,
I'm having the same issues too just it's always slowing down, I'm using Creative sound card with ASIO driver, but nothing alike happened before and only on my last song, if I'm using loops/samples everything goes perfect but recording midi track with external keyboard problem appears, all the more when I set the cursor at the very begining of that particular event of the midi track (within ACID software) looks like everything's alright but after I reneder it to MP3 file the issue becomes very visible it's delaying aprox. 1/32 of original tempo and the funny thing is that somewhere in the middle of the song it's getting better.
Sorry for such long describtion, please any help!
Eugene

I've got the same issue. All I do now is just keep cutting and pasting the same track, then synk it up to the others. Damn loop should just work without all this crap. It speeds up and actually changes/distorts the sound of the music (modern day piano sounds like something out of a western saloon).

Try going to OPTIONS>PREFERENCE>AUDIO.

You will see a preference there: "Acid type for Recorded Audio". Try setting that to "One-Shot" instead of the default "Beat Mapped" and see if that fixes the problem.

Be warned though. There is a bug in "Loop Recording" mode when you have it set to record as "One-Shot", where loop recording doesn't work properly in creating different takes for the multiple loops of the record.

I prefer to Record in Acid in the One-Shot record mode, because I don't want Acid doing any of it's beat mapping stretching madness on the audio while I'm I recording. You can always go back and run the audio thru the beat mapper if you need it beat mapped. I reported this bug to Sony the 1st week Acid was released.........and they sounded very unsure that they would be able to fix this bug in an update, but instead gave me a big warm and fuzzy feeling that they will "maybe try" to fix it for the next Acid Pro 7 release

Since I use loop recording mode quite a bit, and don't want Acid doing any automatic beat mapping on the audio, to avoid problems exactly like you guys are describing......I decided Reaper was a better program for me, since if I find a bug (which I haven't but others have) and report it to the Reaper developers, they usually will have a fix within 1 week and don't make you have to pay for bug fixes and the developers try to help you when you run across a bug......unlike here, where they ask you to update your system specs and ask you what driver mode you're using and then run away without any answers.

I'm not sure if they ever fixed this bug in Acid.....they lost me as a customer at that point, after they told me they can't fix their bugs in an update and then leaving me to "hope" they fix it in the next release, where I would have to pay for a bug fix that is 100% reproducable.
